By More Than 20
V-7 Program Keeps 7 Men
as Six Join Air Forces;
'Record' Loses 2 Editors
First direct effect of the war on Williams
came during the summer as more than
twenty men left college to enter activities
linked more or less intimately with the
military services. Scheduled to begin
sooner than it actually has, the march of
Williams men into the armed forces is
expected to increase steadily throughout
the year.
Draft Takes Two
Selective Service, which college author-
ities predicted would make heavy inroads
into Williams' 1941 enrollment, actually
was responsible for the loss of only two
men. By far the greater part of the group
not returning to college this fall for mili-
tary reasons volunteered for their various
services.
Easily the largest single group are the
seven men in the Naval Reserve V-7
training program. Expecting to return
to Williams this year when they signed up,
they were mustered into active duty a
few weeks before college opened. The
order requiring that all men in the Naval
Reserve V-7 program take immediate
active duty reveals the increasing difficulty
which the Navy Department has been
having in enlisting enough men to man
the ships of a rapidly enlarging fleet.
'Record' Lobm Three
The campus oganization hardest hit by
the loss of this V-7 septet is The Recohd,
which has lost two of its Senior mainstays,
Managing Editor David S. Maclay (who
also captained the swimming team) and
Assignment Editor Samuel L. Root.
Also lost to The Recoup is Merchan-
dising Manager David B. Smith '42.
Sig President Gone
Other Naval Reservists who won't be
back are Robert A. Barnet HI, ace
swimmer Thomas T. Boyd, and Sigma
Phi president F. Thomas Ward, all '42,
and Thurston Holt '43. Investigation
revealed that Root will be stationed
October 1 on a Newport, R. I., destroyer,
Barnet on the aircraft carrier Ranger, and
Boyd at the Communications School in
Noroton, Conn.

Gregersen Letter
Asking Fewer Cars
Has Slight Effect
Gas Station Operators
Say Shortage Exists
Now in Williamstown
Dean Halfdan Gregersen's letter to the
juniors and seniors in the middle of
August, requesting them not to bring
automobiles to college this year unless
they felt that they were "absolutely
necessary," appears to have had only a
limited effect on the upperclassmen.
90 Cars Here Now
To date approximately ninety parents
and guardians have given students per-
mission to operate cars at Williams this
year, and this number is expected to jump
sharply during the next few days. Last
year approximately 170;cars were register-
ed in the Dean's office at one time or
another during the college year.
Bullett Desoribaa Shortaga
Feeling among the gas station operators
of Williamstown who will have to supply
students with gas is that tliey will not
have mucit trouble if a little cooperation
is. diown t>y the car-owners. According
to pordon Bullett, manager of West's
Fining Station on Spring Street, if students
restrict their driving to trips and imporlaiU

President James P. Baxter, 3rd,
assumed the greatest responsibility of his

Donovan, coordinator of information,
appointed him director of the vitally
important research and analysis branch
of the information department. Dr.
Baxter's duties as lecturer at the Naval

Town Soon to Buy
Local Water Plant
Selectmen Thank ' Record ' ,
Feel Its Publicity Won
Strong Public Support
Williamstown's campaign to lower the
present exorbitant rates of the local water
concern, launched last spring by the
Record sponsored articles of the col-
lege's economist, Philip H. Coombs,
resulted in complete success last June 30,
when the town electorate, assembled in a
precedent-breaking special meeting, voted
unanimously to purchase the utility.
Selectmen Land 'Record'
Official notification of the campaign's
success came last Friday when the Board
of Selectmen wrote The Recobd: "The
vote of the special town meeting — to buy
the Williamstown Water Company —
brings to an end the campaign waged for
that purpose." Describing as "invaluable"
the support which The Record accorded
the movement, the Selectmen asserted its
publicity "crystalized public opinion in
favour of the purchase."
Despite the disbelief of uninformed
persons, the vote of the town "absolutely
and positively insures" public ownership
of the company, Samuel P. Blagden '96,
selectman chairman, asserted in a weekend
interview. The original franchise of the
privately-owned Williamstown Water
Company definitely stipulates that the
town may purchase the utility for a just
price "whenever it decides to do so," Mr.
Blagden explained.
At present the town is negotiating with
the utility executives, attempting by
private treaty to set a purchase price
agreeable to both parties. Should these
negotiations fail, Selectman Blagden pro-
mises the town will take the case before
the Massachusetts Department of Public
Utilities. By adjudication the commis-
sioners of thisdepartment will, if necessary,
determine a purchase price "binding on
both parties."
Mr. Coombs, who flew from Washington
to attend the special town meeting last
June, continually maintained in his
Rbcord articles of last spring that town
ownership of the Williamstown utility
will save Williams "several thousands of
dollars" annually. Mr. Blagden agrees
savings for Williams amounting to thou-
sands of dollars will definitely be "real-
ized", but not until after a few years of
town management. ,
as one of the nation's capable leaders in
America's fight against Hitlerism.
Newhall Afating President
Permission for the President to accept
his new full-time Washington post came
from the Board of Trustees' Executive
Committee, who authorized him to serve
in his new directorship as long as he may
deem necessary. Under Law 27 of the
college, Professor Richard A. Newhall,
chairman pro tempore of the faculty,
becomes acting president of Williams in
the absence of Mr. Baxter, and will per-
form all presidential duties relating to the
"immediate government and administra-
tion of the college."
Baxter Not 'Bvi?.i\. Truster
Dr. Baxter, who resides during the week
at the Washington home of Archibald
MacLeish, librarian of Congress, now
rules a vast defense division — "larger
than the Williams faculty" — which the
New York Herald Tribune headlined as a
"new kind of brain trust." The President
will act as director of a board of seven
chief analysts whose task will be to collect,
condense, analyze, and evaluate infor-
mation — especially from hostile nations —
collected by the State, War, Navy, and
other governmental departments.
Takes 'Quiet Rest'
At Williamstown over last weekend for
"a quiet rest," President Baxter found
time between freshman addresses, teas,
dictation, and alumni meetings, to explain
he is not a brain truster, will not attempt
to run the college by remote control, and
hopes to fly from the Capitol every week-
end to Williamstown. Dr. Baxter said
for the past six weeks he has recruited
scores of scholars from colleges, univers-
ities, government agencies, and research
bureaus to complete his Washington staff.
His seven chief analysts have already
been selected. They include Professors
W. L. Langer, Edward S. Mason, and
Donald C. McKay of Harvard; Calvin
Hoover, Dean of the Graduate School of
Duke; Professor Edward M. Earle of the
Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton;
and Professor Joseph R. Hayden, chairman
of the department of government at the
University of Michigan.

America's Peril Cited
Baxter Warns Propaganda
Blasts at U. S. Unity, Hits
Students' War Jitters
by C. GoBHAM Philups '4,S
The largest entering class in the history
of the college deserted interior decorating
and junior advisers for a while last week-
end to begin a week of meetings and
conferences designed to acquaint them
with the ways of Williams life. Meeting
together for the first time in Jesup Hall
Saturday night, the 284 members of 1945
were greeted by President James P.
Baxter, 3rd, arM a group of adminis-
trative representatives.
Rushing System Explained
At the meeting President Baxter
asserted that insidious propaganda was
"hammering enemy wedges into the
national unity" at the rate of millions of
words each day - words which "gulled and
seduced Americans" were reiterating to
the imminent peril of American demo-
cracy. Sunday afternoon the freshmen
met again in Jesup to hear Robert F.
Hendrie '42, rushing chairman, and Frank
H. Thorns, Jr. '30, arbiter, explain the
mechanics of the Williams rushing system.
President Baxter Speaks
President Baxter, who was introduced
b>- the chairman of the Saturday meeting,
Thomas J. Wood, director of admissions,
as one of the few Americans "now per-
forming two full-time jobs," said the
nation's safety was challenged as never
before since 1865, and declared that only
faith in democracy, support of the govern-
ment, and national unity can annihilate
the "sinister effectiveness" of enemy
propaganda. Congratulating the fresh-
men upon being born in years of extra-
ordinary opportunity, Williams' chief
executive stressed two obligations which
undergraduates owe to themselves, the
college, and the nation.
First, Dr. Baxter emphasized the under-
graduate obligation to scrutinize closely
all sources of information published or
preached in this country. The American
people have the gigantic task of separating
the "poison of disbelief in democracy"
from the actualities of the present, ruthless
threat to freedom, he declared. Mr.
Baxter, following in the footsteps of
another great Williams president, Harry

Only American Action Before Spring Can
Thwart Axis World Triumph Says Schuman
Assailing wishful thinking about the'
Russian capacity for indefinitely successful
resistance, Professor FrederickL.Schuman,
Williams' foremost forecaster, recently
issued solemn warning that only a program
of "all out American action, short of
nothing" undertaken within the next six
months while Hitler's legions are still
engaged in the East can thwart ultimate
Nazi world conquest.
"All out action" Professor Schuman
defined as active American military co-
operation with Britain in sweeping Axis
shipping from the seas and in eventually
opening a western front in Scandanavia,
Spain, or Italy to supplement eastern
Russian resistance.
Russian Invasion 'Gamble'
Terming the Russian invasion Hitler's
most desperate gamble of the war, the
political science expert declared that the
German Fuehrer launched his eastern
blitz to promote American isolation and
appeasement. The invasion was an effort
to delay United States intervention and to
enable Nazi annihilation of the Red Army
before outright military assistance could
materialize.
SovUt Vietory BHsntial
Mr. Schuman pointed out that despite
stiff Communist opposition to the German
;tWi
ehrmacht and the possibility that
hostilities on the eastern front will be kept
alive' until spring, the Red Army cannot
alone repel the military might of the Third
Reich indefinitely. And if America and
Britain allow the Soviet Union to fall, he
prophesied, they in turn shall be overrun
by the Nazi hordes. _
U. S. Public Iiethargic
Questioned on the possibilities of all-out
American action before the opportune
moment of German eastern occupation has
passed, the popular campus prognosticator
struck a note of pessimism. Having spent
his summer in the midwestcrn climate of
"soggy, sodden indifference and isolation-
ism," he conceded little possibility that
the American public could be "brought to
the point of doing what it must do for its
own future freedom -unless it is given some
positive and dynamic purpose" to strive
for.
Score* 'Eight Points'
"Constant appeals to fear, such as —
'Hitler will get you if you don't watch
out' — and continued manipulation of the
negative symbols of 'National Defense'
and 'Freedom of the Seas' arc unlikely to
produce the results required," he added,
"Nor do homeopathic doses of warmed-up
platitudes of twenty years ago as repre-

A new and original experiment for
improving Latin American-United States
relations was inaugurated on the Williams
College campus this summer by Dean
Halfdan Gregersen and Prof. Enriciue
Sanchez tleLozada, former Bolivian
diplomat. Dr. Gregersen is now in
Mexico working on what he calls "a plan
for a century."
Even the U. S. State Department noted
the importance of the course in which
seventeen picked college graduates were
in training to go to Latin America to live
as ordinary citizens. The purpose of the
organization is the democratic object of
developing a genuine community of
interest with I'nited States neighbors.
It is, as Time Magazine (August 11)
expressed it, "a start toward a U. S.
attempt to beat the Germans at the game
of making friends with Latin Americans
by sharing their life and customs.
Riis '17 Supports Plan
The project, though encouraged by the
State Department, was entirely unofficial.
Other organizers were Roger W. Riis '17,
son of the late social worker, Jacob Riis;
Jacob K. Javits, a Wall Street lawyer; and
Doctor Carlos Garcia-Mata, an Argentine
businessman, all of whom taught at the
sunmier school in collaboration with Drs.
deLozada and Gregersen.
Students from Yale, Harvard, Univer-
sity of Chicago, Smith and Bennington
were among those picked for the work.
The seventeen gathered at the Delta Phi
Lodge where they were taught Latin,
American literature, music, history, and
languages. After completing their course
at Williams, they left for Mexico for a
fmishing course.
'Time' Explains Plan
"They will be placed in jobs in Latin
America as businessmen, journalists and
teachers-through an Association of Com-
mittees for International Placement (A.

said Time.
Dean Gregersen, in his capacity as
President of the A. C. I. P., is now working
in Mexico to set up some of the committees
on which his plan depends, but will return
to Williamstown this week to be on hand
for the beginning of classes. He will,
however, continue working on hemisphere
relaticms thrimgh his organization in
addition to his position as dean of the

Thorns '30 Again Arbiter;
Hendrie '42 Is Chairman
Under the guidance of Frank R. Th(mis

chairman of the rushing committee,
Williams' smooth-running rushing system
will get moving Wednesday in its annual
campaign. Members of the class t)f 1945
will receive their first period bid charts at
1:00 p. m. in Jcsup Hall Wednesday to
open the seven-day period.
Delegation Limit 14
Record breaking seems to be the keynote
of this newest class to Williams, for not
only is it the largest class ever to enter
Williams, but also because of its size has
forced the rushing committee to raise the
delegation limit for each house to fourteen,
a figure which has not been equaled since
the adoption of the present system,
according to Hendrie.
On the basis of Section S, B, of the
Interfraternity Agreement the delegation
limit is set by, "This limit, which shall be
set by the Undergraduate Council each
year, will be based on the number of men
the Garfield Club can accommodate up to
thirty per cent of the incoming class."
No Major Changes
With the exception of a few minor
changes in wording passed last >'ear by
the 1941 Undergraduate Council this
year's Rushing Agreement reads the same
as in the past. Hendrie has stated that
the program will be the same as in other
>'ears.
Gist of Rushing Rules
The first period of rushing consists of
a maximum of sixteen dates, four each for
four evenings beginning Wednesday.
Following last year's procedure, each
freshman will have at least one (late an
evening. Any person accepting one bid
in this period must accept them all.
Three dates on Sunda\' evening and
three on Monday comprise the second
period. The sixth engagement of this
period is the preferential date, the lifth
the sub-preferential. Although any of
the six dates ma>- be discartled or inter-
changed at the candidate's convenience,
none of the first four may be moved up to
the last two. Final bids will be handed
out Tuesday mornnig, September 23, and
pledging will occur that evening.

A Williams undergraduate, stranded
several weeks ago in the nation's capitol
with a $72 check and nobody to cash it,
telephoned Director of Research and
Analysis (alias Williams President James
P. Baxter 3rd.) in the Office of the Co-
ordinator of Information.
After gaining the presidential ear by
telling his secretary that he was a well-
known senator, the student pleaded his
case, asking Dr. Baxter to cash the check.
His state senators, he said, were in
"committee hearing," and could not be
reached.
As Dr. Baxter was "a little short at the
time," the raonej' was supplied b\- a
prominent motion picture director who
was in the ofiice.

In his work Dr. Baxter will be assisted

orians. His largest subcommittee, the
Division of Special Information, will be

President Baxter must wear an identifi-
cation button on his vest, "which looks
as if it were picked at random from a list
of suspects," whenever he goes to his
office, located in the Federal Trade Com-
mission Building. His staff has grown so
quickly that his complete division must
soon move. "Better to move than stop
growing," Dr. Baxter explained.
Leaves N. A. Board
Upon accepting his new post. Dr.
Baxter resigned "with regret" from the
North Adams Selective Service Board and
from the National Board of Tax Amorti-
zation Review. He will continue lectur-
ing at the Naval War College, but his
course at Williams in the history of Amer-
ican foreign policy will now be conducted
by Professor Joseph E. Johnson, and Mr.
Alden Jamison, one of the ablest of Dr.
Baxter's former graduate students at
Harvard. Mr. Jamison will likewise take
over two of Professor Newhall's History
1-2 sections, releasing the acting president
for administrative duty in No. 1 Hopkins.
Dr. Baxter will attend all meetings of
the Board of Trustees despite his Washing-
ton responsibilities, and whenever (rassible
will attend the meetings of the Faculty
Committee on Appointments and Pro-
motions. Correspondence intended for
the President's office should be directed to
Professor Newhall at Hopkins Hall during

For Student Deferment
College officials asked Congress last
week to defer students who are completing
their college course in the 1941-1942
school year, since the original Selective
Service Act makes allowance only for
students graduating last spring.
Appearing before the Senate Military

stated that 1,000,000 young men hesitated
to matriculate this fall because of their
eligibility for the draft. The delegation
of officials, which included Dean Herbert
E. Hawkes of Columbia University, de-
clared that the present service act is
"causing confusion among college stu-
dents" and that it wished to sec this
condition rectified.

eight have a pretty good idea of at least
which end we think is up.
Duty To Take Arms
Not so, most of our classmates from
California, the Mid-West, and even Har-
vard and Yale. They don't seem to be very
sure exactly why they're here. Some
quite frankly admit it's because they'd
like anything better than the draft army.
Others just seem to be following the drift
of the typical American: aiding defense
but never questioning "defense of what
and against whom?" I'd like to see any
one of them sit through one year of classes
with Professor Schuman, Professor New-
hall, Professor Miller, Max Lerner, Triple
R Brooks, or Dr. Baxter without having a
pretty clear idea of what his role should
be in the world of today and tomorrow —
w ithout realizing that each and every man
in this world enj'>ying the fruits ''f freedom
must also share in the duty implied by that
freedom to take arms against the new
barbarianism sweeping across the face
of this earth.
This solid intellectual background is
what even one year at Williams College
has to offer. Even in the Naval Academy
at Annapolis they're beginning to realize
the emphasis is too much on the practical
side. Old-line officers are complaining.
To be a "first class fighting man" we have
got to have a mental equilibrium — an
active faith in our way of life. This in a
word is what a liberal arts education has
to offer in these dramatic times.
Role As Citizen
And such a background is even more
essential if you are to become a first class
citizen, a role which may well be the most
important one you or any one else will
have to play.
As a onetime piesident of the Associa-
tion of American Rhodes Scholars said in
a recent letter to the New York Times,
" Let the majority of people really
want to control needless aggiession by
resisting it, and the means will be readily
created appropriate to the problem
those omissions (failure of the League of
Nations, Briand-Kellogg pact, etc.) aic
to be laid to the door of no government,
no statesman, no diplonnt, but only to
those people of the world who w>nted
peace but did not realize the price they
'ould have to pay for it It is no longer
pdcalism alone which we summo". It is
the most common-sense interest- in our
welfaie — a principle of uncompromising
resistance to deliberate, unjust, unpro-
voked, unnecessary aggression on human
rights "
Sincerely,
DSM
J.A. RULES

sales lists kept at Walsh's in order to
make sure that every member of the
Class of 1945 had purchased a freshman
cap.
Advisers Given Powers
The advisers voted to accept their
present rule enforcement powers after it
was offered to them upon the recommen-
dation of the Council and the Class of 1944.
The latter decided that as freshmen they
would rather have their rules enforced by
junior advisers than by a sophomore
vigilante committee.
At a meeting held last spring this year's
sophomore class voted to keep all action
in the coming riot away from college
buildings with the view that the fight
might be discontinued by the adminis-
tration in the same manner that the cane
rush was abolished by President Garfield
in 1914.
Much Damage in Past
Repeated flooding of dormitories and
destruction of college equipment in the
form of broken furniture and windows in
recent years made some restrictive mea-
sures imperative. In last year's encounter
the doors of the Walden theater were
broken open by freshmen in pursuit of
sophomore movie-goers.
Several plans were discussed in the
spring meeting as alternatives to the
existing one. A revival of the tug-o-war
of the 1800's in which each class tried to
pull the other into the Green River was
suggested. Another idea was a modified
game of soccer with a medicine ball in
which each class would attempt to carry
the ball to the opposite end of the lab
campus. Unanimous opinion was in favor
of a free-for-all pant-spree similar to those
held in recent years with no restrictions
other than it be on the open campus.

DRIVING
(Continued from page 1)
Acting simultaneously with officials at
Amherst and Middlebury, Dean Gregcrsen
wrote the upperclassmen requesting them
to leave their cars at home in an effort to
help reduce the gasoline shortage pro-
claimed by Federal Fuel Coordinator
Harold L. Ickes. Because of uncertainty
over the seriousness and length of the
shortage, however, Dean Gicgersen did
not go as far as the Amherst and Middle-
bury officials who forbade outright the
operation of cars by students during the
academic year.
Activities Require Autos
Response to the Dean's request cannot
be accurately measured until the college
year is under way, but the juniors and
seniois who wrote asking for permission
to have their cars at college this year in
most cases gave is their reason for needing
a car extra-curricular activities and
athletics. None wrote that they felt
that a car was necessary to get to and from
classes and fraternity houses.
Editorial comment on Dean Gregersen's
action in eastern newspapers has been
favorable. The New York Herald Tribune,
in commenting on the effect of the step on
students, said on Sept 5, "quite incidental-
ly, there may be more time to read," and
"now college deans hopefully await only
what mischief the boys can walk into."
On Aug 21 the Brockton Enterprise said,
"a bow to college deans for taking ad-
vantage of an emergency to rid themselves
of what for years has been a headache,
cars on the campus."
Summer faculty shifts have resulted in
the appointment of seven new members,
including replacements for Professors
Enrique S. deLozada, Robert R. R.
Brooks, and Bertrand Fox who are on
leave of absence to fill defense posts, the
office of President James P. Baxter, 3rd,
announced today.
As a result of the recent changes, Jose
Antonio Arze, noted Bolivian educator
and political scientist, will serve as \igiting
lecturer in Spanish and political science
while Professor deLozada remains active
in Nelson Rockefeller's office on Pan
American relations in Washington; J.
Raymond Walsh will act as Lecturer in
Economics to replace Dr. Brooks, who is
serving as CIO representative on the 0PM
Priorities Board; and Richard W. Dittmer
and Eugene S. Klise will be instructors in
economics to fill vacancies left when
Bertrand Fox and Philip H, Coombs
joined the 0PM.
Franklin Returns
Another addition to the faculty is pro-
vided by the return of Albert B. Franklin,
instructor in Romanic Languages. Mr.
Franklin, on leave of absence during the
past year, has been studying South
American culture in Quito, Ecuador.
Mr. Walsh is a former instructor and
tutor in economics at Harvard who has
served as trial examiner for the National
Labor Relations Board. He was pro-
fessor of economics and chairman of the
economics department at Hobart College
before coming to Williams, and is the
author of "The CIO — Industrial Unionism
in Action." Graduated from Beloit Col-
lege in 1921, he received his M. A. from
Harvard in 1931 and his Ph. D. from the
same institution in 1934. He has also
acted as baritone for the Chicago Opera
Company.
Arze Law Authority
Dr. Arze has been active in South
American education since 1921. Besides
holding many educational positions since
he received the title of Bachelor of Science
and Arts from the University of Cocha-
bamba in Bolivia, he has served his
government in many official positions.
He is an authority on law and political
science, and has been active in promoting
inter-American cooperation.
Replacing Dana L. Farnsworth on the
college's medical staff while Dr. Farns-
worth is on active duty with the Navy is
David P. Curtiss. Dr. Curtiss graduated
from Dartmouth in 1923 and received his
medical training at Yale and Long Island
Medical Schools. After interning at St.
Luke's Hospital for two years, he prac-
ticed medicine in Brooklyn.
Dittmer Colgate Graduate
Mr. Dittmer comes to Williams as

instructor in economics. After graduiting
from Colgate in 1938, he went to ^'ale for
graduate study, holding several scholar-
ships and fellowships. He acted during
the past year as instructor in principles
and history of economics at the University
of Connecticut Extension in New Haven.
He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
James C. Hunt, who will be an instructor
in English at Williams, took his A. B. at
the University of Kentucky in 1934 and
his M. A. from the same university the
following year. He received his Ph. D.
from Johns Hopkins University this year.
For the past two years he has been instruc-
tor in English at Wayne University in
Detroit.
Jamison Replaces Baxter
The sixth new faculty member is E.
Alden Jamison, who as instructor in
History will work with Professor Joseph
E. Johnson on President Baxtei's Diplo-
matic History course. Mr. Jamison re-
ceived his B. S. fnm Northwestern in
1931 and has since obtained M. A. degrees
from Tufts and Harvard. He has had
ten years of teaching experience.
Eugene S. Klise, who will act as instruc-
tor in economics, is the seventh addition
to the faculty. Mr. Klise took his B. A.
from Whitman College in 1929 and his
M. A. from the University of Washington
two years ago. He has taught since 1929,
and for two years held a teaching fellow-
ship at Washington University.

Cole Porter Presents
260 Volumes to Library
Gift Includes Works of
Many Great Composers
Cole Porter, noted composer and
lyricist, has given the Williams College
Library one hundred and sixty bound
volumes of musical scores and over one
hundred unbound volumes, according to
a release from the President's Office today.
The gift includes a large number of the
works of Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert,
Bach and other great composers. Some
of the scores are duplicates and can be
used for class work. Many of the unbound
modern scores are European-printed and
are particularly valuable since the war has
made them virtually unobtainable today.
Bach Collection Completed
While most of the collection is com-
prised of piano scores and songs, there are
also a few full orchestral scores and some
chamber music. Many of them are very
old, such as "The Masque Called Alfred"
by Dr. Thomas Arne, which was printed in
1740 and is an interesting example of the
musical typography of that time.
With this gift the Stetson Library now
has all the instrumental works of Bach.
Mr. Porter's donation also rounds out an
already extensive musical collection at
the Library, including almost 2000 phono-
graph records and an assortment of scores
and books given by Paul Whiteman and
the Carnegie Corporation. Mrs. Cole
Porter, who with her husband now resides
in Williamstown, last spring gave to the
Library over 1100 books, many of which
deal with art and music.

Men With Stuff
There were lots of people around here last year
who thought that it was pretty hard to want to stick
around, while the world got messier and while the
armed services of the nation needed men.
This year it will be a lot tougher. Because the
world is messier, and because not even Mr. Lindbergh
can be stupid enough to suppose that it doesn't
take real men to fight a shooting war.
This year it will be a lot tougher, because there is
something more appealing about being an ensign on
the aircraft carrier Ranger than in putting out a
college newspaper without the men who didn't come
back. There is something more vital about learning
to fly at Pensaeola, and sinking a German sub, than
in piddling with Plutarch's Lires and learning the
reasons mountains are made.
So what?
So, we haven't any more excuse than we ever had
for not working.
So, we've got a few more good reasons for lifting
ourselves off our tails, for growing up, for equating
work with college.
It is going to take strong men to win this war, and
to give our way of life the kind of lireak it deserves.
Williams men in the Navy, and in the Army and
Marines, who have been called to service are nearer
to sacrificing their lives than we are, but that hardly
means that tlicy are fighting and learning to fight so
we can drink the drinks, cut the classes, and take the
weekends they can't.
While they learn how to be soldiers at Camp Devens
and Fort Dix, while they come under the fire of Nazi
sea raiders and U-Boats, it would be rotten for us not
to buckle down to doing our college work with sacrifices
and determination equal to theirs. It is true that
right now Fort Dix and the Ranqir offer the hope
for American victory; l)ut that would be an empty
victory if it were to be victory for a people who, for
instance, counted their college years in terms of
shirked responsibilities.
If you're not here to work, then you really ought to
get out. Playboys and country-clubbers and shirkers
are a luxury that Williams and the nation could
afford in peacetime; they make pleasant companions
and the best of friends. But, especially now, it's
not as important that you be funny when you're
drunk, as it is that you work with the same kind of
stuff as your friends in the Army and Navy.
On Kissing The Cars Good bye
In view of Mr. Ickes "overenthusiastic" handling of
the Eastern gasoline situation, it is not surprising that
Dean Gregersen should think that much would be
gained in the name of defense if Williams upperclass-
men left their cars at home. And in view of the fact
that no one is having much trouble getting as much
gas as he wants, it is not surprising that undergrad-
uates themselves should answer the Dean's suggestion
by bringing their cars back to college.
Facts — thus far — have indicated no emergency
to justify the Dean's request that Williams men leave
their cars in a garage at home or sell them, Lieaving
a car at home and traveling by train looks extravagant
and unrealistic to the student who counts up the cost
of his car, his insurance, and who sees every other car
owner indulging in an unrestricted gasoline supply.
And selling the car for the duration of a temporary
transportation emergency must be sweet music to
the ears of all used car dealers.
Mr. Ickes' bungling and Mr. Gregersen's letter,
however, are not without their commendable features.
They have certainly drawn attention to one of Wil-
liams' most degenerate practices. Nothing is quite
so indicative of how lazy and weak Williams men can
really he as the parade of cars from upper Main
Street to classes each morning or the traffic jams at
Weston Field on Saturdays, or the fight that is neces-
.sary to find a parking place on Spring Street.
Williamstown is not so big, nor Williams men so
puny, that automobiles could not be dispensed with
altogether within the limits of our town. And the
fact is that local gasoline dealers warn that there is
not enough gasoline in town to permit undergraduates
to drive to classes and go to football games away too.
The Undergraduate Council does not legislate often,
but on this occasion — when the conservative use of
gasoline is advisable in the name of defense, and in the
name of making the local supply go around — it
should take action to restrict driving in Williamstown.
Not wishy-washy action, like asking undergraduates
to cooperate with the national government and the
college administration, but definite action clearing
the streets of Williamstown of all cars not on their
way out of town, or not operating with special permit.
Here would be concrete evidence that we are not the
self-indulging children that many consider us.
WILLIAMS
IN THE WAR 1
The following letter was written by David S.
Maclay '42, managing editor of The Recokd, who
this week became an Ensign in the United States
Naval Reserve, and who on October 1 will report for
active duty with the Navy. It is what we hope will
be the first of many letters to be printed in this
column from Williams men in the services, and from
Dave in particular whose loss to The Record has
meant a special gain for the Navy.
Hello Freshmen:
If you don't think this war against Hitler is your
war just as much as anybody else's, then don't read
this. I'm writing to tell you new Williams men what
one phase of national defense — the V-7 Naval Re-
serve Program — is like and how a Williams education
seems to fit into the picture.
Everyone, especially you, wants to know what's the
sense of going to college in uncertain times like these.
Exactly what good are two or three years in a "dusty
town beneath old Greylock" going to do you if you're
going to he called into active military service before
your graduation?
Well, let's see. In three years at Williams I was on
time to class a grand total of exactly seven times.
For the rest of the 990 odd classes I was late — with
an ironclad excuse, but late just the same.
Late — Court-Martial
Out here in the Reserve Midshipman School at
Northwestern University where in the current class
eight Williams men are studying to become naval
officers, if you arrive any place one-half a minute after
you're meant to be there, you're late. And if you're
late it's practically a court-martial and hanging-at-thc-
yardarm-at-sunrise offense — hari-kari is by far the
easiest way out.
As for being absent; even a lunatic wouldn't
contemplate such a maneuver. One-half our final
mark is scholastic and the other half is "Aptitude,"
and one absence from a meal muster, class muster,
drill muster, etc. muster, etc., adds up to a flunk in
aptitude. No excuses are accepted — if you're
absent, you're absent.
It doesn't seem possible that last winter we were
complaining to Dean Gregersen and the college author-
ities because our upperclass unlimited cut privilege
had been reduced to an average of only three cuts a
class per semester — "cuts" just ain't in the Navy
vocabulary.
'We Do The Dusting'
At Williams we thought it was tough getting up for
anything as early as an 8 o'clock class, here we get up
at 6:20 A.M. "and like it." Here we have four one-
hour classes, six days a week with study hour between
and every night; liberty for one hour a day (4:30 to
5:30), lights out at 10:30 -- and Bennington 1,000
miles away. At Williams we griped if the P-Lady
didn't make our bed too well, or pick up clothes and
dust left strewn about our Sage Hall domicile. Here
we have to make our beds without a wrinkle, comers
tucked in at exactly 45 degrees measured with a
protractor, and here ux do the dusting — "It's good
training for you, Mac."
Quite a contrast! What good indeed loos three
years in Williamstown! Just this: the eight Williams
men here, (four graduates and four seniors), got
grades averaging 3.2 as opposed to the school average
of 2.7 in a marking system where 4.0 is perfect and 2.5

Guard; and George Worthington IV,
Williams' lone Yogi, has left college to try
for a job with Nelson Rockefeller's Office
of Cultural and Commercial Coordination
among the American Republics.
Two losses which may or may not be
linked with the defense effort are the
departure of George F. Floyd and William
L. Sammons both 42, for M. I. T., where
they will pursue studies vitally connected
with the technical aspects of defense.
Greenland, Head Deferred
The list of men who are definitey not
to return this semester is probably still
incomplete, for there are several border-
line draft cases who won't know whether
they'll be back until they have attended
their first class. Several men have been
given temporary draft deferments, in-
cluding Jack K. Greenland '42, business
manager of Cap and Bells, and Sanford B.
Head, Cap and Bells president. The
apparent leniency of most local draft
boards, however, has led many campus
observers to believe that, for a time at
least, the draft will not assume the
proportions of a major threat to Williams
enrollment.

On September 3, Cole Field, dead a
year to the thud of footballs, sprang into
life as forty-two men clad only in T-shirts
and shorts ran and cavorted on the grassy
fields. And with Head Coach Charlie
Caldwell's opening greeting, what is to
be Williams' 1941 football team started
on its initial practice.
Since that date four more players have
reported to the Williams mentor to bring
his roster to forty-six men, and from this
group will be fashioned the eleven that is
to face Middlebury in the opener two
weeks hence.
3 Key Men Lost
The loss of three key men has mo-
mentarily darkened the horizon. Captain-
elect Jack Daly, Bill Forbes, star back,
and Chug Brothwell, a varsity end of two
seasons' experience, are among the miss-
ing as Caldwell's new edition starts to
take form on the Cole Field presses.
But big Bill Courter has been shifted
into center to bolster Daly's loss, and the
end squad is full of capable men.
Holden, Hayes Look Good
As a climax runner, Forbes had no peer
among Williams backs last year, and Cald-
well may have difficulty in finding another
consistently brilliant break-away runner.
If any man is to fill Forbes' old shoes, he
will probably be either Herb Holden,
playing his last year of Williams football,
or else Gunnar Hayes, a sophomore flash

up from the 1944 team. Should both of
these men function well, Coach Caldwell
may have a backfield as good if not better
than most the Eph team will meet this
fall.
Not only did the eleven lose Daly,
Forbes, and Brothwell, who has been
drafted, but also Del de Windt a powerful
200-pound back who could both kick
and run. The championship line is also
minus Jock Rice, tackle, Bob Herguth,

Prospects Bright for
Experienced Harriers
Bob Griggs Leads Veteran
Cross - Country Runners
With only one serious vacancy on last
year's team to fill, Coach Anthony Plansky
will put a steady, veteraJi cross-country
team in the fiekl this season. The
harriers, paced by Captain Bob Griggs,
give promise of one of their most suc-
cessful years.
Graduating Captain Tom Lena's loss
wilt be felt, as will that of Dave Maclay
and freshman star Pete Swayze, but the
'41 team will be a better-balanced, steadier
team than last year's squad.
'44 Dalagation Larg*
Plansky will bank on Griggs, Brew
Chapman, Bill Van Loon, Art Richmond,
and junior stars Ken Moore and Johnny
Fuller in addition to sophomores John
Neilson, Maurice Gqodbody, Tom Hender-
son, and Ross MacDonald, who will see
varsity competition for the first time.
Neilson appears to be the outstanding
candidate from last year's freshman team
which took the Little Three Triangular
Meet here last fall by a seven-point
margin.
Out For Comabaok
The varsity will be out to avenge the
Little Three defeat at the hands of Wes-
leyan last year, and are pointing for top
honors in the traditional meet this fall.
The Wesleyan harriers displayed individual
brilliance and a well-balanced squad on
the Taconic course to defeat Amherst and
Williams, 22-33-65, and dethrone the
defending Eph champions.
Facing the dual problems of graduation
and the draft. Uncle Ed Bullock yesterday
called out all varsity soccer candidates
for the first official practice of the 1941
season in preparation for the opener with
Springfield, October 4.
The one bright outlook in an otherwise
clouded future for the booters is the return
of Captain Joe Cochran from a sumnni
with the marines to take over his regulai
fullback position. On the other hanti,
little Tommy Ward, star of last yearV
2-0 victory over Amherst, will report for
active duty with the Navy on October 1.
Binnie Barnes, Johnny Gibson, and Hcd-
ley Reynolds, all starters in the defeat
of the Lord Jeffs last year, will be on hand,
Lowell Oats Deferment
On the red side of the ledger, of the
eleven starters last fall, five have been
lost to Coach Bullock through graduation.
Goalie Norm Lowell's induction into the
army has been deferred, but forwards Da\ e
Fitzgerald, Jim Fowle, and Lanny Holnnb.
and halfbacks Bill Allen and Pete McConili
have all been graduated.
Furthermore, the team will have in
maintain midseason form throughout ^ili
of its six encounters in a schedule which
offers no breathers for Captain Cochran's
team.
Coach Bullock's biggest problem will
probably be to find replacements for his
three star senior forwards of last year,
Fitzgerald, Fowle, and Holmes. Km

Study of House Costs
Cooperative Management
Work 'Advances Slowly'
Working steadily through the summer
months, Williams' Fraternity Alumni
Committee has already studied and di-
gested all facts and figures depicting the
linancial life of the college's sixteen social
units, Chairman Fred E. Linder '12
revealed last week. From a summary
chart of this data, collected from house
treasurers last June and tabulated by
Earle 0. Brown, college assistant treasurer,
the FAC is now preparing to reduce
fraternity costs on those items which the
chart shows are unnecessarily high.
Proposal Coming Soon
Mr. Brown declared last Friday that
the FAC will be able to make "at least one
concrete proposal" to the Williams social
units before the end of December. The
FAC's Committee on Food Costs and
Dining Room Operations has already met
twice with Mr. Brown at the Williams
Club in New York, and it is believed that
this committee, under Chairman W.
Lansing Chapman '10, may make the
proposal mentioned by Mr. Brown.
At his New York office last week, Mr.
Linder said the committee's work was
"advancing slowly but satisfactorily" in
its drive to bring Cooperative Management
to this campus. The complexity of the
financial problems involved necessarily
makes FAC progress slow, Mr. Linder
asserted. He regretted that weekly press
releases to the undergraduate body were
impossible because the plan which the
FAC evolves will alone constitute "real
and good news."
Mr. Brown said the alumni were "very
pleased" with the cooperation accorded
them by the Williams social units. He
said his chart indicated all fraternities
are faced with the same financial diffi-
culties and needless expenses, adding that
for this reason all the social units "will
doubly welcome the Cooperative Manage-
ment plan now being developed by the
FAC."
Technical Staff Finishes
'Streamlining' of WMS
Members of the technical staff of WMS
have been laboring in the studios atop
Jesup Hall since September 3 in an effort
to bring the station up to the level of the
best collegiate broadcasting networks in
the country. The "streamlining" of WMS,
under the direction of Ben R. Schneider,
Jr. '42, head of the technical board, and
John O. Copley '44, included an extension
of the network's coverage and the instal-
lation of completely new equipment.
New Equipment Installed
In addition to either rebuilding or re-
placing all of last year's apparatus,
Schneider announced that the station will
once again resume the policy discon-
tinued last December of operating on one
frequency.
WMS will continue broadcasting from
5:15 to 6:15 in the evening and from 7:30
to 11:00 at night; however, during this
week the station will maintain a schedule
from 8:00 to 12:00 for the benefit of
freshmen during prowling. On September
22, WMS will resume normal hours with
full campus coverage. Two changes in
management of the station have been
announced. Harold T. Johnson, Jr. '43
has been elected to the business manager-
ship, and since William J. Johnson '42,
president of the network, has not returned
to college, an election will be held to
determine his successor.
Bowdoin Dance to Help
Finance Training Table
Confronted by more scholarship men
than ever before, this year's training
table, under the direction of Manager
Charles H. Tower, faces a financial
problem. As an endeavor to make both
ends meet a committee has been formed
that will hold a dance the weekend of the
Bowdoin game, October 18.
Since the .training table is not even
recognized by the college, the necessary
apportioning of twenty-four full-time
waiting jobs to the fifty-two men eating
there is entirely up to Coach Charley
Caldwell, Treasurer Alonzo G. Hearne.
Jr. '42 and Tower. At present Manager
Tower believes some of the scholarship
men will be forced to wait in the houses,
in .this way keeping them from eating
with the rest of the squad.
Entertainment of some sort will be a
feature of the evening according to Tower's
dance committee • which is composed of
Theodore F. Carter, Herbert Holden, Jr.,
and Warren G. Hunke '42,

ORIENTATION
(Continued from page 1)
A. Garfield, Fuel Administrator of World
War I, revealed he is trying to assume his
share of that obligation as Director of
Analysis and Research in the Office of
Coordinator of Information atWashington.
Do 'Today's Job Today'
Second, the President stressed the
undergraduate obligation of performing
"today's job today" — despite those who
chant the "dangerous phrase: 'eat, drink,
and be merry, for tomorrow we go to
war.' " Dr. Baxter lauded the 1938
REconn editorials of James M. Burns
'39, then editor and now presidential
assistant here, for their condemnation of
the "educational waste" which war jitters
and consequent undergraduate irrespons-
ibility manufacture. Mr. Baxter re-
iterated his plea of last spring that under-
graduates, until called to the colors, can
make their best contribution to America's
democracy by doing their job at Williams
as efficiently as possible.
The President placed both these obli-
gations above the immediate exigencies of
the hour, asserting that susceptibility to
propaganda and irresponsibility brought
about by uncertainty of the future under-
mine "any democracy — at any time, at
any place — ■ whether at peace or at war."
America's failure to live up to these two
obligations will imperil its very existence
as free men, for bemuddled public opinion
and citizens loo soft to defend their own
democracy will be the result of that
failure. Dr. Baxter said.
Other Officers Introduced
Other members of the administration
who participated in the Saturday program
included Earle 0. Brown, college assistant
treasurer; Edwin Holmes, placement
director who led the audience in singing
The Moutiliiins at the end of the program;
Dr. Edwin A. Locke, director of health and
athletics; Professor Richard A. Newhall,
chairman pro tempore of the faculty and
acting president of the college while Dr.
Baxter is at the national capitol; the
Reverend A. Grant Nobel, college chaplin;
Albert V. Osterhout, graduate manager of
athletics; William G. Perry, assistant dean;
and A. Barr Snively, Jr., freshman foot-'
ball coach.
Baxters Give Tea
The program for Freshman Week will
continue through Saturday. On Sunday
the men of 1945 were entertained at tea
by President and Mrs. Baxter at their
home on Main Street, and yesterday they
met their faculty advisers in individual
conferences. English and French place-
ment tests, as well as a freshman orien-
tation program in Stetson Library, will
occupy much of the freshmen's time until
their class schedules are distributed
Saturday morning before the opening
college assembly, which is scheduled for
Saturday at 1 :30 p. m.

Hawaiian Trip on Schooner 'Invader'
Gives Bud Brown Dime Novel Thrills
More tall talcs than new freshmen
invade the campus at summer's end, but
for adventure on the high seas that reads
like a dime-novel thriller, Richard M.
Brown '43 has no rivals to date. And
Bud's tall tale is true.
The touble all started as the 136-foot
schooner Invader, sailing out of Hawaiian
waters on the return leg of a very con-
ventional cruise with fourteen passengers
and a crew of six college men, including
Bud Brown, lost the use of its generator,
wireless, and engine.
No Doctor in House
One of the passengers helped things
along by having an attack of appendicitis
two days out. No doctor was on board,
so Bud packed the ailing man in a bed
of ice "and prayed."
Three days out, the Invader barely
missed running down "an unidentified
submarine" which suddenly appeared off
the starboard bow.
Bud Escapes Injury
Four days out, one of the passengers
tossed a firecracker into a screen door,
and a piece of wire lodged in Bud's eye.
The ship's cook pinch-hitted as doctor,
pulling the wire out of his eye with a pair
of engineer's pliers. 'Nothing vital' was
injured.
Five days out, a man was knocked over-
board by a hard wave into shark-infested
waters. Only the quick action of a girl
who was standing nearb\' saved him, for
she threw the drowning passenger a
life-preserver before the schooner had
sailed out of reach.
Food Runs Out
Six days out, the ship was becalmed.
Lacking motor and wireless, the twenty-
one vacationers were helpless. Food and
water ran low because the captain had
failed to provide rations for more than
a fourteen-day trip — and they took
seventeen days to make California. Brown
and the crew lived for four days on apricots
and a single glass of water every twenty-
four hours.
Gale Follows Calm
Finally wind came, on the fifteenth
day out of Hawaii — wind that blew at
ninety miles an hour, and forced the
Invader to drift helplessly through the
mine-infested waters outside San Fran-
cisco's harbor.
It was the Coast Guard who came to
their rescue, after the gale subsided on the
seventeenth day. In San Francisco,
Brown ordered a large steak dinner, made
plans to take his next vacation cruise in
Central Park.

were on hand to greet head coach Snively
and assistants Ted McCann '42, who is
prevented by injuries from playing
varsity football, and Tom Buffinton '44,
a transfer who played varsity at Hiram
College last fall Snively blamed the
shortage on a mixup in dates, stating that
the squad would undoubtedly be con-
siderably augmented by late arrivals.
Three Captain* Report
Although it is impossible to know much
about the squad at the very start of the
season, Shively stated that there seems to
be a dearth of guards and centers, with
plenty of tackle and backfield mateiial.
The candidates include three former
schoolboy captains, namely Adrian Tap-
scott of Kent, a tackle. Carl Gruber, who
played at Exeter last year after captain-
ing East High in Buffalo, and Tracy
McFarlan, of Brunswick School.
The 1945 outfit plays a four-game
schedule, opening October 2S against
Choate, at Wallingford, and then facing
Norwich, Wesleyan and Amheist frosh
on successive Saturdays. Last year's
freshmen defeated Choate and Wesleyan,
but lost to Amherst for their only defeat
in a five-game schedule.
Boynton Sends Prot£ge
Names well known to Williams foot-
ball are represented on the 1945 squad.
John Brown, of Oswego High, is the
brother of Ross and Lyman Brown, who
starred heie some years ago, while Johnny
Gamble, of Peacock Military Academy in
Texas, was sent to Williams by Benny
Boynton, one of the Purple's football
immortals.
Coach Snively plans to devote the re-
mainder af this week mainly to con-
ditioning exercises to get his men in trim,
and next week contict work will start.
Snively urged all freshmen inteiested in
football to come out for the team, stating
that all will be welcomed whether or not
they received a letter inviting them to
appear for the first practice.
Soccer Liats 4 Games
Coach Clarence Chaffee's freshman
soccer hopefuls reported yesterday for
the first time, faced with a tough schedule
of four games. Last year's frosh hooters,
Little Three runners-up, won one, tied
one, and lost two in a four-game slate.
Plans for freshman cross country are
not as yet complete, according to Coach
Tony Plansky. However, it is expected
that intensive drills will start late in
September. Last year the yeailing
harriers won the Little Thiee crown.

the center of the line.
Yet, the aggregation that is today tear-
ing up the Cole Field sod bodes little but
trouble for 1941 opponents. At present,
Bob Wallace and Fran Dolan are on the
flanks, while Hugo Oswald and Ed
Callahan are playing tackle. Ralph Renzi
and Med Hall fill the guard posts with
Courier at center.
But Line Coach Dick Colman will
probably have to find a place for Colby
Wilson, who has shown up well at tackle
recently, and Al Hearne, veteran end, who
although late in returning for practice
has already displayed much of his 1940
form. Also, the tackle positions are
materially strengthened by the return of
giant Stu Lare from a summer baseball
job.
Backfield Coach Fielding Simmons
has to date placed the veteransCy Morgan,
Marsh Hannock, and Herb Holden in the
backfield, and has selected Hayes to be
their fourth. In the early scrimmages it
is Morgan who is doing the quarterback-
ing.
This season Princeton returns to the
Williams schedule for the first time since
1939 wheti the Tiger clawed the Ephs
26-6. Northeastern is another new face
on the Williams scene this fall as the
Boston team replaces Buffalo.
SOCCER
(Continued from page 6)
Cresson and Gibson, have had experience
in the positions, but Bullock will have to
unearth another three or four forwards
in order to have a successful team.
The halfback situation is somewhat
better with Hedley Reynolds, Carter
Hall, and Larry Thompson, all veterans
of last year's campaign, available. Barms
will probably join Cochran in the full-
back positions which will bolster the de-
fense considerably.

enunciate any comprehensive program in
its fear of playing into the hands of the

Addition to Chem Lab
Priorities on Steel Slow
up Work on New Wing
Its construction held up over a month
by national defense priorities, the $100,000
brick addition to the Thompson Chemical
Laboratory will soon begin to take shape
with workmen starting today to erect the
long-awaited, specially-made steel girders
which arrived in Williamstown over ihe
weekend. Since the OPM has given the
wing a high A-2 rating. Prof. John F.
King stated \esterday that from now on he
would have no difficulty in pncuring the
steel and he predicted that the addition
would be completed by lh<' liegliining of
the second semester.
Chemistry Enrollment Up
In view of the steadily Increasing en-
rollment in the chemistry courses, at their
meeting last spring, the Board of Trustees
appropriated the necessary funds for the
addition, thus solving the problem of over-
crowding in the department. Contrac-
tors for the building of this three story
connecting link between the chemistry
and biology laboratories were Harding
and Seaver of Pittslield.
According lo the plans drawn up last
spring, the basenieiU of the addition will
contain a laboratory for organic chemistry,
large enough toaccommodate fifty students,
together with a classroom, an otlicc, and
small research laboratories. A lecture
room with a capacity of ninety students,
another ofiice, and a small laboratory will
occup>' the second floor.
The tcip floor of the new $100,000
ailditiim will contain a new laboratory for
seniors taking Chemistry 9-10, an office,
and two smaller laboratories. The old
organic chemistry laboratory will be used
for the surplus of students in Chemistr>'
1-2 and la-2a, and the laboratory on the
third floor of the present building, some-
what eidargeil, will serve all students in
Chemistr\ .^-4 and 5-6.

Fifty-two Sons of Alumni
Entering as Freshmen;
Four Foreign Students
Two humlri'd and eighty-four mfmbers
of the Class of 1945 arrived in Williams-
town Saturday to become the largest
freshman bod;' in Williams College history.
The incoming group represents a wide
geographiciii distribution with members
fniiii twenty-eight states; Argentina,
Canada, China and Holland.

Two hundred twenty-one members of

came to Williams from private schools
while the remaining sixty-three entered
directly from public high schools. Deer-
field kept top ranking among the prep
schools for the third year by placing
twenty-one students while Choate was
second again with fourteen freshmen.
Since the class is much too large to room
in the freshman quadrangle alone, rooms
have been provided in East College,

another group is living on North Street,
and four boys are rooming with Coach

All Students to Receive
Pamphlet of Regulations
In an effort to clear up the ob.scurity
that in past years has surrounded college
rules, the Dean's Office has recently
published a pamphlet entitled "Regula-
tions of Williams College" which is to be
distributed in the near future to all under-
graduates. Dealing not only with college
rules, this booklet, conceived by William
G. Perry, newly appointed Assistant to
the Dean, also contains a calendar and a
time sheet to aid students in planning
assignments, and a chart for recording
cuts.
Cuttmg Penalties Clarified
The principal change in this year's set
of regulations is a clarification of the
penalties for overcutting, Mr. Perry
stated. In previous years the penalty' was
too much at the discretion of the discipli-
nary officer, he continued, but this
arbitrary measure is eliminated by the
establishment of definite penalties.
For consecutive absences an offender
is now placed on "no-cuts" for two weeks,
while the punishment for over-cutting and
cutting the final class before and the first
class afher all vacations is a month of
compulsory attendance. Assistant Dean
Perry indicated that he also intended to
standardize the punishment for those who
infringed while on "no-cuts".
Students to Record Cuts
To prevent undergraduates from over-
cutting unconciously, they will now be
required to keep a record of their absences
on a chart in the back of the pamphlet.
No information on cutting will be given
out by the Dean's Office to any student
except upon the presentation of his own
record.
Mr. Perry expressed the hope that
students who were troubled with organ-
izing their studying or with any other
problem would feel free to consult him.
This, he emphasized, would be taken only
as "an omen that they are trying to ini-
prove themselves."

Williams to Face
Middlebury Eleven
In Opening Battle
Every Senior on Squad
to Captain Team Once
in Eight-Game Schedule
Surrounded by its traditional aura of
optimism, Williams' as yet untested foot-
ball team will open its 1941 campaign to-
morrow at two o'clock when Middlebury's
Panthers roll into town for the annual
game on Weston F-'ield. t
With Captail-elect Jack Daly out of
college, the squad has hit on a plan of hav-
ing each one of the eight seniors on the
squad act as captain in each of the eight
games on the schedule. Tomorrow Johnny
Irwin will take over to lead the team
against the invaders, headed by co-
captains Tony Winshinski and John
Prukop. On successive Saturdays, Hug(>
Oswald will be captain against Princeton,
Ed Callahan against Northeastern, Cy
Morgan against Bowdoin, Al Hearne
against Tufts, Marsh Ilannock against
Union, Med Hall against Wesleyan, and
Herb Holden against Amherst.
Holden Insured
Biggest loss suffered so fai in the prc-
campaign scrimmages is Hoklcn who re-
ceived a hip injury in a recent scrimmage,
and will not be available for the oijener.
The triple-threat back has been in uniform
daily, but has had no contact work. How-
ever, if the hip continues to respond to
treatment, he will be ready to enter the
Princeton fray next weekend. Bill Steward,
who has been alternating at tackle on the
varsity, has also been lost to the team for
an indefinite period with a badly twisted
knee.
Over a period stretching back to 1906.
Williams has met Middlebury twenty
times on the gridiron. Sixteen of these
contests have resulted in victory for the
Purple, while Middlebury has captured
four games.
Panthers Lose Nine
With this four to one ratio in their
favor as well as the knowledge that
Middlebury has lost nine of its foremost
players, Williams expects to find little
trouble tomorrow. Coach Hen Beck of
the Panthers has had to build his 1941

Flying Club Constructs
Airport on Cole Farm
1941-42
Year
May
Yet
Be Biggest
Experienced
The presence of fifteen licensed pilots,
the fact that the dues and instruction rates
are lower than ever before, and the
availability of an airport three times the
size of the one in North Adams used last
year point to a big year for the Williams
Flying Club.
Two runways, 1200 and 7000 feet long,
have been laid out in South Willianistown
where the club recently acquired flying
rights on the farm of Donald H. Cole,
father of Phillip B. Cole '41. All tall trees
and other obstructions in the immediate
vicinity have been cut down in the last
two weeks by axe-wielding pilots so that
the field is now ready for regular duty.
With one cub, one cadet, and onetay-
lorcraft scheduled to be kept there
through the college >'ear, plans are under-
way for a wooden hangar, a necessity the
Flying Club has been forced to do without
in previous years.
President John T. Tuttle, Jr. '42 stated
that this year the organization will sponsor
a weekly ground school in navigation,
meteorology, and civil aeronautics,
another heretofore unattempted plan.
Within the near future a questionnaire
will be sent to the entire college to find out
how much actual flying interest there is in
Williams and how many undergraduates
have already had some flying experience.
Following the compilation of this survey
a meeting will be held for all pilots and
pilots to be. At present the club is nego-
tiating with a Pittsfield instructress to take
the place of la.st year's instructor from
Vermont.

Rushing While Thorns Scales Williams Hall
Oddities may have been the highlight
of last year's rushing season, but the cry
in this year's period of scrutinizing was
simple discombobulation, flying eagles,
R.A.F. pilots, and Arbiter Frank Thorns'
climbing into a freshman's sccon<l story
window to get the aspirant to his pref
date.
A sorry-lookmg freshman came to
Frank Thoms on the night of preferential
bids with the tale that he had locked him-
self out of a second story room where his
rushing suit was cached. To remedy the
situation arbiter Thoms tried a step ladder
It failed to reach the summit He rested
it on a window sill and recommen(le<l an
asi'ent
No sooner was the suggestion made
than the freshman rlcveloped a Irul should-
er Remembering his duty as arbiter to
get every new man to his designated tiate
Thoms took the task upon himself and
successfully scaled Williams Hall.
Foremost among happy freshmen was
the boy filled with joy over the thought
of actually being at Williams, "with
Bennington just up the road a ways and
Smith over in North Adams" to say noth-
ing of the boy who was completely over-
awed after meeting an R.A.P". pilot in
one house.
Perhaps it was the worm turning or
maybe the newcomer had pigeons on his
mind, but one member of the Class of
1945 during prowling said he refused to
open the windows and let his room cool
off because he was afraid the eagles would
fly in.
When asked if he wouldn't come up
stairs one new man answeretl, "No,
thank you. I've jest been outside in the
bushes." He wasn't the same one who re-
marke.l in a casual sort of way, ".Swell
house you've got here. Which one is it?"
Once wasn't enough for the freshman
who commented to the hjad of a house as
the two walked into the sacred portals,

Newhall Proposes Amendment to Abolish
Treaty Veto Powers of Senate Minority
Obscured during the summer by the
burning question of outright American
intervention in World War II, the larger
issue of post-war planning prompted
Professor Richard A. Newhall to in-
augurate in late July a movement to
sup|iross by constitutional amendment
the Senate's obstructionist powers in
foreign affairs.
.^lai med by the possibility that a minor-
ity of the United States Senators might use
their constitutional privilege to blcck
.'Vmerica's participation in a stable world
order after the war. Professor Newhall
began his campaign to amend the Consti-
tution in a July 23 letter to the Spring-
field Republican, declaring that "the
American people need to streamline the
machinery of government if they are to
meet the demands of Twentieth Century
conditions."
Inspired by Lippman
The acting president of Williams was
moved to editorial action by Walter
Lippman's article in the July 21 Life, in
which Lippman described America's failure
to ratify the Versailles Treaty and join the
League of Nations as "America's (ireat
Mistake." The Lippman article laid
stress on the fact that little more than one
third of the Senators were able to block
President Wilson's attempt to pledge
American cooperation in establishing and
maintaining a world security system.
Lippman's emphasis on the veto power
which a minority of the Senate has exer-
crsed for the past twenty years in hamper-
ing effective American action on the world
scene brought the following swiftly for-
mulated amendment to the document from
Mr. Newhall, proposed in his July 23
letter to the Republican:
Text o{ Amendment
"1. Those parts of Article II, Section
2 which read "by and with the consent of
the .Senate," and "provided two-thirds of
the Senators present concur," are hereby
stricken from this Constitution.
"2. Treaties negotiated by the author-
ity of the President shall be ratified by and
with the consent of a majority of both
Houses of Congress. Ratification shall
be without amendment or reservation."
"The American people," Professor New-
hall insisted in the letter, "should lose no
time in breaking the strangle-hold which
the power of obstruction in the Senate
gives a minority of Senators."
Plan Receives Support
This opening gun from Mr. Newhall
brought instant support in letters printed

Austen Lal^e Takes
Second Annual Crack,
At 'Supercilious' Ephs
Austen Lake is a horns-and-red'-tail
institution on the Boston American who
recently adopted (he habit of taking a
Ncarh' crack at Williams by way of
writing a preview of the Eph football team.
In a full two-colunm discussion of the
Purple title hopes for the 1941 season, the
Biisliin sports "expert" gives a more or
less word-for-word repeat performance of
his 1940 writeup in which he referred to
Williams as a "tails-and-white-tie — super-
cilious, retrousse-nosed institution which
yodels sweetheart calls to sons of patrician
daddies with a vault full of those lovely
government bonds."
Although the perennial Eph-baiter does
bother to drop several words of praise for
the Williams eleven, predicting for it
another Little Three title, he concentrates
as he did last year on strict l\' extra-
gridiron aspects of the Williams character.
This year we're a "starchy, span-spick
institution which wears the air of arching
its intellectual eyebrows and luokingat you
down the length of a Roman nose;" in a
"freshly laundered little town in which
every grass blade is combed like a gigolo's
scalp and every sidewalk manicured like
a dainty lady's fingernails."

Shakespeare Comedy Is
Chosen by Cap & Bells
for Next Production
Much Ado About Nothing, one of
Shakespear-e's most popular comedies,
will be the opening production of the
1941-42 season for Cap and Bells, Inc.,
student dramatic society, it was an-
nounced this week by Max Flowers,
Director of the Adams Memorial Theatre.
Two performances are scheduled for
.'\mherst weekend, November 13-14. Mr.
Flowers pointed out that in turning from
Eugene O'Neill, the foremost .American
playwright, whose Marco Millions opened
the new theatre last spring, to the most
famous of all English dramatists. Cap and
Bells is reviving an old custom of producing
at least one Shakespearean play each year.
The last of these was King Henry IV,
Part J, which was presented in 1937.
Produced Here In 1926
Much Ado About Nothing was last pro-
duced by the Williams group in 1926, at
which time Prof. J. W. Miller wrote in
The Recobd, "The presentation was
very favorably received, and the verdict
of the audience was in large part justified
by good acting, excellent costuming,
smooth procedure, and refinement in
adaptation."
The new production is to be distin-
guished by modern treatment, utilizing
all the resources of the new theatre.
According to Mr. Flowers, it will employ
the full potentialities of student talent foi
staging and acting, and will provide
training and experience in modern pro-
duction of Shakespearean drama.
Tryouts Monday
Scenery, costume, lighting, and property
designers are now perfecting their plans,
and calls have already been issued for the
various crews. Tiyouts for speaking
roles will be held Monday at 3:,30 and 7:,?0
p. m., and Tuesday at 7:30 p. in., on the
A. M. T. -Stage. Eighteen male anti four
female roles will he cast at that time, and
several non-speaking |)arts will be added
later. The tryouts are open to all eligible
students, as well as any women of the
vicinity who may be interested. Mr.
Flowers said that those who intend to try
out should first read the play, copies of
which are on reserve in the library.
Effective on Sunday
Beginning at midnight Sunda\', the
driving of automobiles within the limits
of Williamstown will be sever<-l\' restricted
by the unanimous consent of the Under-
graduate Council, which met in special
session Wednesday evening. Although
students may still enter and leave freely,
the action will prevent the unnecessary
operation of cars within town limits,
according to C\tus N. Morgan, President
of the student governing body.
In aimouncing the legislation. .Morgan
issued the following state num; "The
restriction of the use of autoniubilcs will
bring about; (I ) concrete cooperation with
the National Defense Program; (2) the
end of the lethargic practice of driving
distances that could lie more bcnelicially
covered on foot ; (3) solution of the campus
parking problem. Il is a logical move, and
the long run efTect will lienelit more than
il will harm the undergraduates."
Newhall Commends Action
Following the announcement of the
Council's decision. Professor Uichar<l A,
Newhall, Acting President of the College,
and Chairman of thi' V\illiams Cimimittee
on Cooperation with the National Defense
Program, issued the following statement:
"The prcjiiipt action of the Undergraduate
Council in response to the letter from the
Committee on Cooperation with the
National Defense Program is extremely
gratifying. The willingness of the under-
graduate leaders to assume responsibility
for such a policy which cann<it hope to be
popular with everyone is the best a.ssurance
for the coming \'ear which anyone can ask.
"Williams men may feel justh- proud
that it is possible to make effective the
cooperation of college and undergraduate
administrations on diflficult as well as easy
matters."
Letter Prompts U. C.
The legislation was the result of a letter
from Professor Newhall on September 19,
in which he quoted from a letter received
by the college from Mr. J. W. Farley,
Executive Director of the Massachusetts
Committee on Public Safety, in which
Farlex- recommended that all students be
prohibited from operating motor vehicles
"in behalf of national defense."
Mr. Newhall's correspondence reviewed
the retiuest made by Dealt (jregersen to
upperclassmen to leave their cars al home
unless they considered them absolutely
necessary.

The Williams Amendment
Plenty of VVilliuiii.s incii wlio quoted their pro-
fessors in .sui)|)orl of arguments during the summer
vcre met, a.s they always have been met, with the
coimlercliargc tliat college professors arc impractical
■woolly-iiiiiiilcil theorists l>eneath the contempt of
"men of aetion." This has always been one of Burton
K. Wheeler's pel assertions, but he is by no means
its only nor its loutlest exponent.
Suri)iisingly enough, a college professor has pro-
posed a hardheaded plan to do away with the con-
stitutional privilege of a minority of the Senate,
re|)reseiiling an even smaller minority of the Anaerican
people, to hamstring a majority-elected President's
efforts to guarantee American cooperation in an
international system of collective security. Professor
llichard A. Newhall of Williams is the proponent of a
constitutional amendment which, should it become
law, would give the Senator from Montana and the
rest of the obstructionist Senate minority a rude jolt.
There has l)cen little uproar about this amendment.
Professor Newhall himself plans no whirlwind propa-
ganda campaign, hoping to convince the American
licople liy cold logic that his plan is not only valid
but vital. A little discreet publicity, however, would
not be amiss, and the Williams undergraduate body
can do its bit to further a project which no thinking
democrat can reject. Among other things, the Adel-
phic Union could suggest the proposed amendment as
a topic for intercollegiate debates.
If this plan can be put through, the effect will not
only be the elimination of a scandalously undemo-
cratic situation which has done more than its share to
bring on the present agony of wo^ld democracy.
It might also serve to silence those who assail college
professors as theorists incapable of positive practical
action.
Problems: Legacies, Dirty Rushing
Each year Frank Thoms deserves the everlasting
thanks of Williams ('allege for the deep dark circles he
develops under his eyes during rushing, in the interest
of Williams fraternities. But if Mr, Thoms deserves
thanks, comments on Williams fraternity rushing
should go no further in that direction.
As systems go, Williams' is good; it runs well, and it
has a good operator. But that is enough: it is also
false and superficial, a round of cigarettes and pepper-
mints and dreamed-up laffs. It is as stupid as most
of the conversation you've been forcing for the past
week. *
At this time of year marc men than usual will sec
clearly enough — - now that they've had a fresh dose
of the headaches and false polish of a rushing season
— tlial there is only one solution to all they do not
like about fraternity rushing. Changing the season
from one year to another will not help; the only solu-
tion lies quite simply in putting the distribution of
freshmen among the houses in the hands of the Col-
lege.
This is a violent suggestion, and no one need worry
about Williams men taking it seriously. Under-
graduates did not become aroused about their un-
limited cut privilege imtil it was taken away. And
today, as much as it may be regretted, much that is
being done in the name of defense is being done to
forestall the wholesale revocation of driving per-
mission by the college. It is not yet a matter of life-
and-death for Williams fraternities that their rushing
is shot full of everything that is not true. It may be
good sense to do something about it now, but skin-
saving is not yet the issue.
Williams men will not take seriously this .suggestion
for clearing up their objections to rushing, which they
lament regularly after each sea.son, but there are other
aspects of the season just ended that deserve their
attention. First, the Undergraduate Council should
investigate the many rumors of dirty rushing that
have l)een floating around town for the past few days;
one, that freshmen were entertained by a fraternity at
a neaTl)y roadhouse; another, that a freshman was
seen sitting in a Spring Street drug.storc with two
fraternity men.
The Undergraduate Council .should also explore the
whole question of legacies, and the position they hold
in the Williams rushing scheme. It can accurately
be said that half of the rushing system here works for
legacies, and half against them. Has anyone an
intelligent objection to treating legacies as normal
people, subject to the same rules and customs as other
freshmen? If not, the Council should abolish the two
rules of the system which set legacies off from other
freshmen. 1) The rule which publicizes a list of all
legacies, direct and indirect, thus reducing the number
of hou.ses open to them. 2) The rule which often puts
legacies in a false position of preference at the top of
the final bid li.sts, thus injuring the chances of non-
legacies of getting hou.ses of their choice.
In dirty ru.shing and in legacies the I'lidcrgraduatc
Council has two very real .subjects which it is its duty
to investigate.
WILLIAMS
IN THE WAR m
Your Chances of Draft Deferment
Latest releases from Washington reveal that selec-
tive service headquarters have now authorized local
draft boa''ds to clcfc the induction of college .students
into the army "only if immediate induction causes
undue hard.ship l)ecau.se of interference with their
work."
This order, worded like its predecessors in the
vague generalities Washington employs so often these
days, pulls national headquarters out of a tight spot.
Its weasel word.s save the Administration the political
embarrassment of "deferring a class" — the fatal
mistake of the draft board in the early days of World
War I. But at the same time national headquarters
assures local boards that student deferment until
the end of a college semester — if it prevents "undue
hard.ship" — will be approved at the Capitol.
Newhall Promises to Help
Professor Newhall, now administrating the college
from No. 1 Hopkins, said yesterday he will be glad to
ask local boards to defer students whose records
"reveal scholastic sincerity and achievement." More
bluntly — if you're drafted during a semester, you
can expect college cooperation in obtaining a defer-
ment only if you've been attending classes, doing
assignments, and doing them well. Naturally, if
you're physically fit, you can count on a deferment
only until the end of the semester in which your num-
ber comes up.
Few Certain of Deferment
This general rule applies to those men taking the
usual liberal arts major. If you're planning to work
in medicine or engineering, or any other field where a
shortage in the number of capable men definitely
exists, you probably will be able to obtain a defer-
ment until you've completed your Williams and
graduate courses.
The vagueness of the Washington order proves
that the length of deferments depends completely
upon the discretion of your local board. But your
ability to secure a deferment until the end of this
semester, or until the end of your college career, also
depends to a great extent on the recommendation
which Mr. Newhall will make to your local draft
officials.
If you're •■eally serious about this business of earn-
ing a Williams degree— and a good job well done at
Williams is as important to America's defense effort
as the service now being rendered by selectees — then
you'd better read the handwriting on the wall.

More than a little slowed down b>' the
rigors of rushing, freshman fall sports are
once again hitting full stride in prepara-
tion for a tough season on all fronts.
Football, soccer and cross-country men
are all working overtime to make up for
time lost last week.
Kurtherest along are Coach Whoops
Snively's gridmen, who arc starling to get
down to real work after a week a[id a half
of conditioning. With a workable squad
of forty instead of the original seventy-odd,
Snivel>' is starting to work on pla\s, with
scrimmages expected shortly. So far the
only contact work has been routine block-
ing and tackling.
Tentative First Team
Although he has yet to see his men in
action, Snively has selected about twent\
from whom he will probably pick his starl-
ing lineup. A tentative first team might
include Wheeler and Johndroe at end,
N'orys and Gruber at the tackles, Tapscotl
and Glasgow at guard, and Brashears,
Adams, Herndon and John Brown In the
backfield.
Other outstandin.g candidates include
Knox and Touhey at end, Scarl'.orough and
Wardwell at tackle. Strong at guard, and
Tucker, Elder, George Brown and Agnew
in the backfield. Snively is handicapped
by a numerical lack of centers, Hawkesand
Waller being the sole candidates for the
pivot position.
A change has been made in the schedule
which will prevent members of the fresh-
man sciuad from attending the Princeton
game, it was announced earh' this week b\-
Snively. The Norwich '45 game, original-
ly scheduled for November 1, has been
moved up to October 18, with the result
that the Eph yearlings will practice the
afternoon of the Princeton fracas.

Notices
Student instructorships in Freshman
Public Speaking are available for 1941-42.
Written applications for these positions
should be mailed to Professor Robert F.
Young at 37 Southworth St., not later
than Wednesday, October 1. The appli-
cations should contain a detailed statement
of training and experience in Public
Speaking. Preference will be given to
applicants who are seniors, but juniors of
experience and ability will be given full
consideration. Instructors of 1940-41 who
wish to be considered for re-appointment
should file their names, but need not
submit credentials.
Each instructorship involves three hours
per week during only half of the college
year, with suitable compensation. The
instruction begins December 1 and ends
in mid April. For further details consult
Mr. Young by phone (662-W) or by
appointment (37 Southworth St.)
With the unanimous approval of the
Committee on Discipline, it has been de-
cided to standardize the penalty for cut-
ting while on "no-cuts" as follows:
Probation for three weeks from date of
cut. That "no-cut" period which remains
after date of offense is to be served at
expiration of probation.
A student who cuts while on probation
is considered for dismissal by the Com-
mittee on Discipline.
In respect to excess cuts in general, the
policy of refusing to accept "over-sleeping"
as an excuse will be continued.

ilevtn from light, inexperienced material
up from the freshman team, and from the
few lettermen left over from the 1940
team which Williams conquered 14-6.
A stumbling block in the path to an initial
WiHiams victory may be the traditional,
early-season lethargy which is characteris-
tic of Williams football teams.
Provided there arc no more casualties
prior to game time, the line-up for to-
morrow is fairly definite. Ilearne and
Hob Wallace will be at the ends, Callahan
and Oswald at the tackles, I lall and Ralph
Renzi at the guards, and Hill Courier will
probably get the no<l over Mob (iardiner
at center.
Holden's loss has put sophomore Hill
Orr up into a starting post in the back-
field along with the veterans Morgan and
llannock, and sophomore Gunnar Hayes,
who, on the basis of recent form, should
give the Middlebury line plenty of
trouble.

Robert Harrow, assistant professor o(
music, plnyej the Chapiii Hall organ as
the college assembled, and shortly after
IM p.m., with the hall jammed, Warren
G. Hunke '42 led the gathering in the
singing of Yard by Yard. The invocation
by the Reverend A. Grant Noble, college
chaplin, was followed by President Bax-
ter's announcement of nineteen Garfield,
Mark Hopkins, and Tyng Scholars for
1941-42.
Scholarship* Awarded
Three Garfield Scholarshijjs were a-
warded to members of the classes of 1943
and 1944, while four men in the junior and
senior classes were designated Mark
Hopkins Scholars. "The C^arfield Scholar-
ships," accoiding to the College Hulletin,
amount to not more than $400 for each
semester and "are for men of high stand-
ing who would not be able to meet their
college expenses without the scholarshios
The Mark Hopkins .Scholars receive the
corresponding academic distinction but no
financial award."
For the first time in Williams history,
eleven scholarships were awarded from
the Juliet Augusta Tyng Hequest These
awards, identical to the Garfield Scholar-
ships in academic distinction and financial
remuneration, were made by the Com-
mittee of Nine, which under the terms of
the bequest will annually select Tyng
Scholars from all four college classes.
President Baxter's address was 'j spirited
indictment of wishful thinkers in all walks
of American life, particularly "those who
dare maintain that the Nazi menace to
democracy is far less dangerous than a few
months ago." The President stressed the
present sea power of Great Britain as the
key to our very existence as a democracy,
declaring that if England falls, Germany
and a hostile world will destroy America by
economic strangulation — not by invasion
of this hemisphere.
"You will be pikers if you give way to
the tremendous temptation to loaf in
these uncertain times," Dr. Baxter told
his audience, and again assured the under-
graduates that President Roosevelt and
other national leaders consider men with
college training "invaluable defenders of
democracy at this or any other time — in
war or in peace."
President Baxter declared this nation
will go to war as soon as it finds itself
"confronted with a peace unsuitable to
the democratic way of life." Dr. Baxter
asserted that a Nazi victory in Europe
would be too great a price for Americans
to pay for peace.

the president follows:

in many newspapers. Professors Paul
Birdsall and Joseph E. Johnson of Williams
and Princeton Librarian Julian P. Boyd
were among those who commended the
plan in print, and a letter from Ml. New-
hall to the Christian Science Monitor drew
favorable editorial comment from that
journal.
Further steps to publicize the amend-
ment plan have not yet been taken, but
Mr. Newhall is scheduled to broadcast a
discussion of the idea on October 18 over
station WGY, and Professor Birdsall is to
repeat the performance in January.
"We are not attempting to storm the
citadel of American opinion," Mr. New-
hall told The Recoud. "This is a thing
to spread at a time when people will think
about it on its merits — before it becomes
a hotly controversial issue."

CARS
(Continued from puKe I)
Concluding the letter, Mr. Newhall
said: "There has been a suggestion that
the Undergraduate Council legislate with
respect to the much more restricted use by
undergraduates of automobiles in Wil-
liamstown. The College Committee on
Cooperation with the National Defense
Program, meeting in Hopkins Hall on
September 19, considered this suggestion.
Believing that this offers real possibilities,
the Committee expresses the earnest hope
that the Undergraduate Ccmncil will take
innnediate action along this line."
'Record' Suggests Action
The cimclusions reached by the Council
was first suggested in an editorial in the
first issue of the Riocoui) this year. It
was accepted as a fair compromise between
an entire lack of cooperation on the part of
the upperclassmen, and the possible
drastic action of forbidding automobiles
completely.
The argument that there is actually no
gasoline shortage was disregarded by both
the Undergraduate Council and the
Defense Committee. Both organizations
maintained that orders and requests to
them from responsible authorities insist
that a shortage does exist, and that they
must act accordingly until the authorities
alter the nature of their orders.
RUSHING ANTICS
(Continued from pane 1)
"Nice frat lodge you've got here my
friend." At dinner his request was "pass
the potatoes, my friend."
h'rank Thoms was even interrupted in
the middle of a bit of private whistling
in his office by a freshman who informed
him point blank that his second note had
been off key. Another complaint came
from a boy with a |)articularly foreign
sounding name who wanted the fraternities
to write their names in English, on the
invitation bids.
R.A.F. talk wasn't sufficient for one
house. They even told of last winter's
snow stoim that started on house party
weekend and lasted for six weeks. The
snow was so deep that none of the girls
could go home so they all stayed in the
I'ratetnity dormitories until it blew over.
When told that a mendier of a particular
house goes out to play sipiash every after-
noon one freshman replied, "that's funny,
I thought the squash courts were indoors."
At least he didn't believe that he was talk-
ing to George Rudnick's roommate the
way a classmate of his had the period be-
fore.
A most interesting st'itement was made
by a freshman from Troy. Upon being
iisketl what he did at home for amuse-
ment, he answered, "All I know to do over
there is ice skate."

At tiiiics (lisplayiiiK some of tlu' form
wliicli iiiadi' the 1940 seusoii successful,
Williams' varsity football team buried
Middleliury under a live-touchdown ava-
lanche Saturday afternoon on Weston
Field to ring in the 1941 si-ason with a
thuni|jinK 33-0 victory.
Coach Charlie Caldwell geared his
attack around two sophomore fullbacks,
Gunnar Hayes and Bud Tewksbury, and
these two newcomers to varsity football
thoroughh' vindicated their coach's choice
1)\' tallying two touchdowns apiece.
Newcomers Star
These were not the oiiK' newcomers who
proved themselves, for Bill Schmidt, a
junior playing his first year of inter-
collegiate football, wound up early in the
third (|uarter and slung a high looping pass
lo Kran Dolan on the Middlebury lifteen
and the veteran end crossed the goal line
with live yards of golden Berkshire sun-
light between him and his nearest tackier.
Karly in the first quarter, Williams
drove deep ipl'^ Midd'ebliry territury to
the 26-yard line, and then stalled. With
the petering out of this attack it seemed
that the 3,000 spectators might be forced
to watch another opening game of missed
blocks and tackles. But this was only the
(|uiet before the storm.
Williams Slow to Start
.Slow to get going on the offense, the big
Williams line rumbled into action during
the second quarter with Hayes eventually
slashing over from the one for the first
Williams touchdown. And as if this were
not enough work for one afternoon, the
IVS-pound sophomore sprinted off tackle
early in the third quarter for another
touchdown to put Williams in front, 13-0.

Training Table to Give
'Williams Night' Benefit
Bowdoin Dance Features
'Knights', Octet, Skits
With music by the Purple Knights,
singing by the Octet, and skits and imita-
tions of faculty members by prominent
undergraduates already on its entertain-
ment schedule, the training table's Bow-
doin weekend production "Williams
Night" is now almost completely planned.
Charles H. Tower '42, manager of the
table and director of the "second Nathan
Jackson Smoker," revealed today that
tickets will be sold by fraternity represent-
atives, the house with the largest percent-
age of sales winning the "prize" of first
choice for a bloc at the Amherst Game,
November IS.
Williams has tied Bowdoin for the last
two years, assuring a large attendance
for the October 18 renewal of the classic,
Manager Tower asserted. This^akes
Bowdoin weekend > "natHiral set-up" for
th" l.a'sll Gym pro2' * i which will aid
the training table itrtinancing a fifty-two-
man eating organization now supporting
twenty-four full-time waiters.
Only the success of the Bowdoin pro-
duction will enable the training table to
continue operations, Tower believes, for
the college does not recognize the table
and cannot afford to contribute to its
maintenance. At present Tower feels
some of the scholarship men wilrbe forced
to wait in the houses, thus being kept from
eating with the rest of the squad, if train-
ing table finances are not bolstered by
"Williams Night."

Lerner To Publish
Essay Collection
'Ideas For the Ice Age'
Title of New Book On
Difficult Years Ahead
Professor Max Lerner this weekend
revealed the structure and content of his
forthcoming book. Ideas For the Ice Age,
which will be published in November by
the \'iking Press as a companion work to
his well-known Ideas Are Weapons. The
four-hundred-page volume contains a
collection of Lerner's essays written since
1936.
He explained the unusual title by com-
paring the crisis ahead to an Ice Age
which will pose problems of so imperative
a nature as to challenge the preservation
of the American way of life. The book
contains suggestions and ideas which will
be needed to face that period and an anal-
ysis of methods to be used in the present
and post-war periods. Divided into four
sections, the volume deals with many
phases of the situation on which Lerner
comments, feeling that they should be
known and thought about.
Deals With Post-War Period
The first portion describes the period
ahead of us as one which demands a new
thinking, and a new approach. It gives
suggestions as to what can be done to
remedy and deal with the period now, and
after the war in the peace to come. In
the second division of the book, the strug-
gle between isolationism and the forces of
interventionism is described at length and
analyzed.
A section on important thinkers and
idea-men is included, for Williams' noted
pro-democrat believes that from the works
and theories of these men certain keys and
aids can be gained for the task which lies
ahead. A widely varied group, including
Machiavelli, Chief Justice Holmes, Ran-
dolph Bourne, an American writer in the
first World War, and Franz Kafka, a
recent Czech novelist make up the subject
matter.
In a division entitled "Unfinished
Business of Democracy," Lerner ex-
plains the methods with which we

Otto Eduard LeHsing, the German
censor whose knowledge of Americanisms
so hampered William L. Shirer that he
quit the airwaves in Germany, was pro-
fessor of German at Williams from 1923 to
1931. Not extraordinarily pro-Kascist
while here, he was however noted for be-
moaning the atrocious treatment the
Sudeten Germans were receiving at the
hands of the Czech barbarians.
Last Friday, Grover A. Whnleii re-
ported to Mayor LaGuardia that the
Eastern seaboard was threatened with "a
real and serious" shortage of gasoline and
fuel oil, adding that a definite railroad tank
car shortage existed. Local gasoline dis-
tributors and dealers hailed Mr. Whalen's
report as "a constructive step" and urged
that the public be more fully educated to
the need for conserving motor fuel.
In taking over his new room last week,
a Bophomore at Harvard found a metal
filing box containing seventy-four cards.
On each card was written a girl's name, her
status, telephone number, address, and
rating on an A to E scale. Complexion,
figure, looks and brains were the basis of
rating with comments such as "free and
easy", "torrid", and "hot" appearing
frequently. One "hot" had a line drawn
through it with "reformed" written di-
rectly beneath.

22 Freshmen Win
Places in Glee Club
Schedule Includes Sarah
Lawrence and Vassar ;
Big Group Turns Out
As a result of the Glee Club tryouts,
concluded last Saturday under the di-
recticm of Robert G. Harrows, professor
of music and leader of the singers, twenty-
two of the competing 122 members of the
class of 1945 have been admitted to the
organization. Because of the unexpect-
edly large number of applicants, 40% more
than usual, Warren G. Hunke, president
of the Glee Club, explained that Barrows
could afford to be stiflf in his requirements
and that Williams will have the "most
musically intelligent Glee Club it has had
in many years."
Revealing plans for the coming )ear,
Hunke declared that the lirst program of
the season will be at Vassar on December
13, and that the last will be the appearance
of the Vassar singers at Williamstown on
April II.
Sarah Lawrence Reappears
Details are still in the formative stage
regarding a proposed concert with Welles-
ley. Sarah Lawrence will appear again
this year on an undetermined date.
Hunke expressed his wish that concerts
with Sarah Lawrence might become a
tradition, Williams making one appearance
at Bronxville, and the girl's Glee Club
appearing here every year.
In addition to these joint programs with
girl's colleges, Hunke declared that the
organization hopes to give a Christmas
presentation in New York on December
20 for a demanding musical audience, thus
receiving expert criticism.
Octet Badly Hit
Hunke declared that the octet, which
lost four men by graduation, will be up to
standards of the past since replacements
will not be difficult with the amount of
new talent.
Freshmen accepted into the Glee Club
include first tenors: C. D. Buck, Jr

Williams' d.lve to curtail consuin|)tioTi

exists, launched last week by I'. C.

continued over the weekend as Professor
Richard A. Newhall wroti' William I'.
Caiitwell, 3rd '42, requesting him to
organize a committee for the purpose of
collecting waste paper from college build-
ings and social units.
Henderson Motivates Drive
Mr. Newhall's re(|uest, motivated b\
the ass.Tlion of Leon Henderson, chief of
the Office of Price Admiiiislralioii and
Civilian Supply, that "the need fur waste
paper and rags to meet the present defense
re(|uircments is becoming more acute each
day," resulted In prompt undergraduate
action. Cantwill Iniinediatch' appointed
a coniniittee of eighteen to be in charge of
the collection of waste paper in the lifteen
fraternities, the Clarlicld Club, and the
college (liirniilories.
Janitors Will Co-operate
The unclerniailuale collectors will direct
their various janitors to gather all wasle
p.iper in large containers. Mr. Newhall
will then instruct the college trucks to
pick these containers up at specilied times,
and transport the paper lo a C(ill<'Cti(m
depot. Mr. Newhall. chairman of the
faculty now acting as president in the
absence of Dr. Baxter, will arrange with
Mr. Henderson's office for shipment of ihc
paper to some national defense jmijecl now
in nee<l of waste papier.
Razor Blades to be Collected
Cantwell expects lo concentrate his
campaign on waste paper for the next few-
weeks, and should the campaign meet with
success, will then place containers in tlii'
wash rooms of all college traternilies and
dormitories for the collection of old razor
blades. .Mready the North Adams Red
Cross is actively collect ing old razor blades
In a drive to check the nation's drainage
of its steel resources.
Mr. Newhall and Cantwell are agreed
th;;t the c<illege throws away vast quan-
tities nf waste paper each day, and that
collection of this paper and transportation

Harvard Offers H2O
To Unbathed Holyoke
I'pon learning that due lo a water
shortage Holyoke girls had been forbidden
to use H2O last week except "for the most
vital personal needs" the Harvard Crimson
wired that institution inviting all its
pulchritude to "migrate to Harvard, the
Oasis of the East" and hold a "liquid
fiesta in Cambridge, city of cleanliness."
The following invitation was extended as
an effort lo defend "pure smelling woman-
hood":
"Have heard of your waterless plight.
Crimson extends invitation to all Mount
Holyoke girls to come to Cambridge and
share our showers. Harvard men fiiul
liest way to make friends is sharing
common bath facilities. Now when you
feel like girls in soap ads and when bath-
less Yalemen won't come within ten feet
of you. Harvard wants to make friends.
Our showers are big enough for two.
R. S.V. P."
The answer to which the Crimson took
active heed was:
"We'd gladly come with towels and soap
If with lran.sportation you will cope."

To the Editors of Thk Recohu:
i had planned this year to get along without TilK Recoud,
hut find that it cannot be done. Frankly, it is too interesting
and well-written a paper. I am particularly ini|)ressed with
the intelligence and force behind its e<litonal policy. So please
renew my subscription.
This may sound to you like a tribute. If so, it is a sincere
one. For, although confessing to a warm liking and respect for
Williams, I certainly am not bound by sentimental ties of alumni
loyalty.

Another Chapter
I'erliaps you were piiz/,led when yon read tliat Wil-
liams is goiiij; to collect wa.ste paper for Mr. Hender-
.son, and old razor blades for ii.se as .scraj) steel. Foi —
as yon .say — almost anywhere on Sj)riiig Street you
can buy as much paper as you could possibly carry,
■ ' . I. .1 y razor blades as you'll need for the rest of
your life.
Tliiii feeling reflects a peculiar short coming of ours.
Wc refu.5e to believe a shortage in an American re-
.source exists until our personal consumption of com-
modities made from that resource is cut to a threadbare
miniinnm. Arid until our consumption is drastically
curtailed, we won't take the word of anybody that a
shortage exi.sts, even though our foremost economic
experts — men with the intelligent imagination we
lack so nmcli — a.ssure us that it is true.
Well, after a lot of {(nibbling, we took the word of
the experts and cut down our consumption of gas.
And now we're going to take their word again, and
con.serve the nation's resources of pulp and steel by
.saving our waste paper and old razor blades. Mill
Cantwell is tackling the job with the aid of hou.se and
dormitory representatives, and Mr. Newhall has
l)r<)mi.sed the use of the college trucks for the piu'po.se
of collection.
As Mr. Newhall a.sserts, it's loo bad we're only will-
ing to be thrifty and conserve under .stress of war.
It's too bad that (iermany has made such a hcad-
.start on .\merica becau.se for years the Niizi ccoiioiny
.stressed efficiency and conservation. It's too had
that we Americans haven't always conserved our
valuable resources — even in time of peace. For
it's a known fact that the world's most powerful
nations can tirain heavily upon va.st resources during
emergencies without comi)letely disrui)ting tlieir
economy only if they have alitriys been thrifty.
Of cotir.se our wa.ste paper and old razor blades
won't directly cau.se the destruction of the European
tyrant.s. But when the dictators do meet their
Waterloo, the big event will have been made ijo.ssible
by millions of little events like the one now going on
in Williamstown.
Reserved seats for the Williams-Princeton game on October
4th. will be placed on sale .Monday afternoon Sept. 29th. from
i to .S o'clock at the Main St. Entrance of the l.asell f'lymnasiuin.
Tickets will also be on sale on Tuesday afternoon from 2 until

'Harvard Crimson' Quits
Ranks of Isolationists
Departing from the isolationist line that it has consistently
upheld since the outset of the European conflict, the Harvard
Crimson this week switched to a policy of interventionism when
its editorial page declared: "Hitler has to be defeated ..There
can be no isolation for America."
Although the Crimson's editorial board, elected last year,
exerted an isolationist stand until the closing of college in June,
this week's startling change of policy ciine after a vote of the
board on the war question which revealed only a few uncon-
\'erted isolationists.
Before this week's shift, the Crimson ranked with the Yale
Daily News and the Priiicelonian as one of the foremost pro-
ponents of isolationism in undergraduate newspaper circles.
So far this year, the Yale Daily News has remained editorially
silent on the war issue.
"We believe that there can be no middle ground between
the way of life of the democratic countries and that of the total-
itarian powers. Democracy in any form cannot survive in a
world dominated by Hitlerism, and Hitlerism cannot survive
in a world It cannot dominate."
"We arc well aware of the far reaching consequences of a war.
We do not expect it to be won easily. We do not expect it to
be over in the next few months or even in the next few years,
:iiid we are aware that many of us and of our friends will never
live to see the final victory. We know that this country, as
well as all the other countries of the world, will be impoverished
by the fight And yet knowing all this, we are willing to go
ahead."
Letters to the Editors
To the Editor of The Rkcohu:
Williams can show seme shame when at a football game such
as yesterday's, the undergraduates have to spend half of their
energy trying to ignite the cheerleaders, instead of being able
to devote all of it to their team. .Seldom, if ever, has there
been such a noticeable lack of pep and enthusiasm on the part
of the cheerleaders as there was yesterday.
Would it not be better to have members of the sophomore
and junior classes leading the cheers? Certainly they would
have more drive and force then the present group of seniors.
They would also do a better job of it as seniors after they have
had one or two years' experience.
In view of the general charge of lethargy :iimed at the college
today, it would seem that a more effective method of uniting
Soccer Team Prepares
For Opener Saturday
Two weeks of intense practice sessions and an abundance
of promising sophomore material has greatly brightened the
outlook for Coach Bullock's soccer team which opens its regular
season this Saturday down at Springfield College.
Faced with the loss of his entire forward wall. Uncle Ed has
been skeptical about the prospects for this year's team, but three
experienced players, Johnny Gibson, Ben Hurd, and Art Lee,
and seven or eight capable newcomers to the varsity are all
showing up well in practice in the fight for starting positions in
the forward line Saturday.
.Sophomores Bill Brewer, Bob Benson, Sinclair Hart, Hugh
Masters, Jack Reed, and Bruce Winter have shown ability as
forwards, and juniors Johnny Fuller, who has left the cross
country team to play soccer, and Walt Stults are adding to the
scramble for starting positions.
\'cterans will fill the defensive positions for the most part in
.Satuiday's opener with Norm Lowell in the goal, Captain Joe
Cochran and Binnie Barnes in the fullback positions, and
Hedley Reynolds, Larry Thompson, Carter Hall, Gordie
Getsinger, George Crandall, or Frank Wozencraft filling the
three half-back positions.

Sabrinas Triumph,
Wesleyan Downed
In Season Openers
Former Tops Bates, 31-7,
While Brown Whips
Cardinal Eleven, 20-6
While Williams went on an unchecked
scoring spree against Middlebury Saturday
afternoon, it.s Little Three rivals, Amherst
and Wesleyan, opened their 1941 gridiron
campaigns with a respective win and a
loss — the Lord Jeffs easily rolling over
Hates, 31-7, but Wesleyan catching a
Tarter in Brown to lose, 20-6.
Coached by Raymond, "Ducky" Pond,
of Yale fame, the Hates eleven put up
much the same show un Pratt Fiehl as did
Miildlebur\' on Weston. The smaller
Bates liiif held Bobby Blood and Captain
Toninn' Mulroy in check until the second
half, but from there on it was all Amherst.
Amherst Team to Beat
Striking on the gniunti and in the air,
Lloyd Jordan's men rolled \i\i four secontl
half touchdowns, which buried the team
Irom Lfwiston, Maine, an|d once again de-
linilcK' established themselves as a team
to beat if W'illiaios is to retain its cham-
pionship.
Only trouble for Jeff Mentor Jordan is
a lack of realU' capable reserves. His
fust eleven can be depended on to pla\
liall with any team o( Amherst's size, and
Blood has alread\' been nominated fur
All-America honors, with Mulroy a
can(ii<late wdio cannot be counte<l out when
seasonal honors are distril)Uted. But the
second eleven does not n-ach the calibre
of the hrst.
Sabrinas to Face Dartmouth
Kor this reason Jordan shot almost
ever>' player on his bench into Saturday's
game to give his reserves a thorough
training, and to lind more replacements
for bis gruelling game with Dartmouth's
Indians ne.xt Saturday at Hanover, N. H.
In the Wesleyan encounter, SkipStahley
of Brown and Wes Fesler of the Cardinals,
both disciples of Harvard Coach Oick
Harlow, opened seasons as head coaches
for the first time. And it was Stahley who
better employed the lrick\' methods of his
old teacher to nip tlu' team coached b\' his
former associate.
Cardinal Backs Checked
Most fans were well aware of the power
of the Brown backlield, which is two deep
in every position and strong of other
capable reserves. Hut not everyone knew
that the Bruin line could put up a display
which held down such stalwarts as Cap-
tain Jim Carrier, Armand Capadaqua,

The Wesleyan score came late in the
fourth period after Stahley had thrown
his spares into the game. Carrier, a tower
of strength on the defense all afternoon,
wdiipped a pass to Jim Laggien on the live
and the Cardinal end crossed the g(ial line.
For the better part of the afternoon,
pesler's men were ])inned in their own
territory by Ernie .Savignano's well-di-
rected kicks, wdiich were poorly handled
by the Wesleyan backs. Brown scored
once in each of the last three periods to
roll up its twenty points.

At present the club is seeking an in-

'luirements. "When the suitable man to
l^ive instructions is found we will have the

Rising Board Bills Spells Need For
Cooperative Fraternity Action - - Now
liy Sam IIunteb. '-14
Williams is experiencing the first economic pinch of the war. In an effort to
meet the 15% rise in current wholesale prices over last year, six college social
organizations have begun what ma\ develop into a campus-wide movement of
board-rate boosting. And throughout Spring Street local merchants, faced with
a new 10% luxury tax and an advancing wage scale, have been forced into a position
while ihey must soon increase the general level of their retail prices.
Fraternity Living Index
On the campus scene Beta Theta Pi,
the Garfield Club, Chi Psi, Sigma Phi,
Phi Sigma Kappa, and Kappa Al|)ha have
responded to the increase in the cost of
living index by raising their weekly board
items anywhere from 2%, to 16%,.

'Tentative
The stewards anil treasurers of these
houses which have niaiiilained last year's
board rate, when tpuslioned, almost un-
animously indicated that they also were
considering higher billing, but were wait-
ing to see what action other houses would
take. In the meantime the mounting
food costs were being met by economies
in other budgetary items,
Interest in FAC Increases
With the current price advances .'ind
the .idded desirability of cost reduction
interest in the cooperative fraternity
management scheme which the Fraternity
Alumni Council is at work on has revived.
The attitude of imdergraduate house
treasurers and stewards i|uestioned by
TiiK REroiio was found more generally
favoraliie ;han it was iast >eai.
Warner Peck, Chi Psi treasurer, sounded
the accepted feeling on the issue. He
admitted that the separate management
situation had been (|uite satisfactory last
year, but addeil — "This year it's different.
With prices going up as they are there is
a particular need for a cooperative buying
scheme that will cut down costs." The
president of the Beta house, where the
board has alread\' been raised, declared —
"Unless a cooperative management plan
is put into effect soon, we may be forced to
raise our bill an additional amount." A
Phi Gamma Delta spokesman told Tiik
Kkcobd: "I wish it (cooperative buying)
would get going. If there was ever a time
for it, now is the time." This view was
substantiated in part by Earle O. Brown,
assistant college treasurer, who declared
that he would "heartily favor any co-
operative plan which could reduce jjrices —
particularh- in these days when |)rices are
generalh- rising."
Clark Against Co-op Buying
A more pessimistic note was souiiiled by
Mr. H. B. Clark, U^.of .NorthAdams,foo(l
wholesaler for a number of Willi mis frater-
nities, lie dismissed cooperative manage-
ment and cooperative buying as impractic-
al — particularly today when the govern-
ment has entered the market to compete
for consumer goods. "It would be im-
possible to put into effect a system of co-
operati\"e management now," he asserted,
"because of government priorities on
canned goods and other products and the
uncertainties of delivery." Mr. Clark
pointed out that prices may rise in the

Boys' Club Summer Camp Provides
Fun, Frolic, Food for Local 'Our Gang'
J>y Gkorqk Y. Neurbas '44_
This is the first in a series of articles lo acquaint undergraduates with where their
money goes in the annual WCA Chest Fund Drive. The Editors.
The typical Williams undergraduate is five feet, 10 mchcs tall, weighs 170 pounds,
drinks "the wine that makes hearts light," and generally spends four years at Wil-
liamstown in blissful ignorance of the fact that for the past eight years the Boys'
Club of the Williams Christian Association has conducted a Summer camp for some
80 youngsters.
That siime undergraduate regretfully
kissed the greenbacks goodbye last fall
when a "grasping" Williams Chest Fund
collector approached him, equally as
ignorant of the proposed destination of
his wad.
$2,000 To Boys' Club
Of the approximate $5,000 collected in
the drive last year, $2,000 was turned over
to the Boys' Club for the maintenance of
its work in Williamstown. About $600
of this appropriation has given 80 local
youngsters, ranging in age from seven to
16 years, the vacation of their lives.
The camp, situated on North West
Hill below the old C. C. C camp on land
loaned by the U. S. Forestry Service,
(probably more familiar to our typical
Williams man as the site of the old barn
destroyed by fire at the 1941 freshman
picnic), boasts swimming and other sports
facilities, and has its own cuisine under the
expert supervision of Chet Williams.
Boys From Iiooal Araa
The Williamstown and local farm boys
invade the camp at the rate of 20 per week
from the first week in July until the first
week in August, where they are put under
the direction of Ned Walton, full-time
head of the club. Hays Bownc '43, assistant
director, Lionel Martin, ex-marine froiu
Williainstown, and several others of the
stafT.
The boys are housed in large pyramid
army tents which provide accommodations
for seven campers and one counsellor.
Upon arriva' at the base, they are divided
into two tribes, each of which elects
captains. The camp then sponsors com-
petition between the two tribes in horse-
shoes, volley ball, touch football, swim-
ming, track meets, and softball.
Regular camping activities such as
marshmallow roasts, hiking, group games,
watermelon fights, and treasure hunts
arc scheduled, and at the Annual Spring
Father and Son Banquet awards are matle
to the outstanding athlete and best camper
in each group.

Time Is Money
Williams fraternities, like millioii.s of other consumcr.s, have already
l)een hit l)y ri.siiii,' food co.sts. Kappa Alpha has met the new conditions
by rai.sing it.s liourd bill by $1.50, while Chi Psi is now contemplating a
ten per cent increa.se over its present rate of $10.50. The Garfield (^lub,
for long the most reasonable eating e.stablishment on campus, has been
forced to boost its $9 weekly hill to $10. Other social units have effected
50c to $1 increa.ses: one or two fraternities are still vacillating between
higher hills or less expensive meats and vegetables. Delta Phi has meet
the new high costs of food in perhaps the mo.st .sen.sible way — reducing
luncheon expenses l)y frequently .serving sandwiches.
Perhaps now Cooperative Management will be a more meaningful
jjhrase to an undergraduate body long apathetic to the Fraternity Alumni
Committee, which has been laboring since last June to evolve a Cooperative
Management plan for this campus Perhaps, in the face of rising co.sts,
undergraduates will become interested in a cooperative system which has
materially reduced Amher.st board bills.
If undergraiUiates are not interested, the Fraternity Alumni Committee
will probably continue functioning in its customary slow way. If under-
graduates do not press their alumni representatives to speed up FAC
progress, Williams will jjrobably live another three years on the same
expen.sive plane. For certainly today the ineml)ers of the FAC, who also
have businesses, families, and problems of their own to cope with, have no
incentive to accelerate their difficult task.
If undergraduate interest, which alone can provide that incentive, is
not wJietted by today's uiiprecedenteti high food bills, Cooi)erative
Management with its many financial .savings will probably not visit this
campus during our college years. And for undergraduates or their
pai-ents today, time is money — lots of it.

future and no firm would now contract
at a set rate over a long period of time or
take on any new accounts. The North
Adams broker explained his personal
objections to cooperative management.
"With such a system," Mr. Clark de-
clared, "you arc in danger of the com-
munist attitude of eliminating the middle-
man." He contended that nothing the
Williams social oiganizations might do in
the way of cooperative action could
illeviate the burden of rising prices.
Spring Street Prices Up
On Spring .Street the burden of soar-
ing prices also has made itself felt. Milk
his lisen from five to ten cents and there
is the possibility that soft drinks usually
retailing at five cents may advance in
price as they have in New N'ork. Liquor
prices have already advanced 10%. The
general 1940-41 wholesale prices on staple
commodities index of Spring Street
follows:
September
1940 1941
Pork Loins $.25 $.32
Ham .23 .34
Bacon .20 .29
Eggs, doz. .37 .46
Butter, lb. .33 .41
Flour, 1-8 bbl. bag .75 .93
Despite these rises in wholesale price
Spring Street rcstauranteurs, however, arc
still selling ham andeggs, bacon sandwiches,
pork chops, and pancakes at the same
retail price that they secured last year.
The Massachusetts Library Association
is holding its fall meeting, in conjunction
with the Western Massachusetts Library
Club, at the Adams Memorial Theatre
this weekend. Max H. Flowers, director
of the theatre, will lecture on "Current
American Drama" while Miss Lucy Eu-
genia Osborne, custodian of the Chapin
Collection, will talk about "The Chapin
Library." On Saturday morning Dean
Halfdan Gregersen will address the
assemblage on the topic "The Other
Americas." During the group's brief
stay in Williamstown, the Williams Inn
will be the center of activities.
With an eye towards Smith and Ben-
nington the administration should read the
following which appeared as an official
notice in the Harvard Crimson last week:
"'All freshmen are invited to teas to be
held in Brooks House this week from 4 to
6 o'clock, Wellesley or RadclilTc girls
will be provided. Occupants of Mower,
Hollis, Grays, and Wigglesworth are in-
vited this afternoon."
Harvard's placement bureau will
no longer find jobs for any students in
private or non-defense businesses, thereby
giving complete preference to the defense
field. The change was explained by a
recent cut in the bureau's budget.
A shortage in lalior due to defense work
is responsible for Yale's breaking all
precedents and employing undergraduates
in |he college dining halls, many of which
are endowed by Edward S. Harkness with
the provision that no students work in
them. His estate has made an allowance
under the circumstances. To reducg
labor. Commons is employing the lone
unused cafeteria system. Yale also is
endangered by a campus-wide strike of
400 university employees.
Tradition will be shattered at Harvard
thij fall if a suitable sponsor and broad-
casting station can be decided upon to
put the Crimson's football games on the
air. With the exception of Yale-Harvard
tilts, this has never been done.
Chaffeemen Face

Veteran Deerfield Line

Booters Severe Test
The curtain will officially rise on
freshman sports tomorrow afternoon at
2:30 when Coach Clarence C. Chaffee's
\'earling soccer team pla>s host to fast
Deerfield eleven on Cole Field. On the
basis of recent scrinmiages against the
varsity. Chaffee expressed the opinion
that the chances of a freshman win over
its annual foe were "SO-SO."
The game will feature a fast veteran
Deerfield forward line pitted against a
Williams defense composed of live former
Deerfield athletes. Guarding the nets
for the yearlings will be I'om Hoover, last
year's Green captain, who will team with
fullbacks Bart Van Eck and Bob Chamber-
lain, and halfbacks Denny \'olkmann and
Gil Lefferts in an effort to stop their old
mates. Art McComb, the only non-
Deerfield player on the defense, will be at
right halfback, the same position that his
brother pla\ed on last fall's varsity soccer
team.

Graff Company Opens
Williams Ballet Season
Inaugurating this year's program of
outside attractions brought to Williints
by the Adams Theatre Committee, the
Gr;iff Ballet will appear in the new theatre
on Tuesday, Oct. 14, according to Max
Flowers, chairman of the committee.
The Graff ballet troupe, a new American
company, has danced dining the past year
in many other colleges, including a per
formance at Amherst, and have receivetl
critical acclaim for their original and
imaginative style. Grace and Kurt Graff,
leaders of the group, do most of the solo
parts, and will be assisted by nine other
dancers.
The performance follows the plan begun
last year when the Chekho\' Theatre
Group brought Twelfth Night to Williams-
town. The outstanding success of this
experiment, as well as the desire to utilize
the facilities of the new theatre to the
utmost, prompted the continuance of the
policy, according to Mr Flowers.
FLYING
(Continued from page 1)
explained that if the controversial site
lies within the Boston to Albany civil
airway route the case is one for Civil
Aeronautics Authorities and docs not
come under his jurisdiction. The Civil
Aeronautics board probably will not claim
jurisdiction since the twenty mile air lane
lies four miles below the property of
Donald H. Cole where the field is located.
Letter in N. A. Transcript
Monday's Transcript reported that
several men working in a field near the
Cole place, had been "forced to flatten
themselves on the ground because a plane
flew so close to them." Responding to
this report, the officers of the flying club
wrote a communication which appeared
in Tuesday's issue requesting the names
of those "several men" so that they might
"apologize to them personally."
The letter also answered Captain Cross'
statement that the flying club would be
unable to pay for any damage done.
1 hey assured him that every man would
be "adequately covered by liability in-
surance." To his saying that "a very
great majority" of South Williamstown
people were opposed to the airport the
communication pointed out that "one
gentleman prominently connected with
the affair admitted that he had not heard
or seen a plane and that his place was out
of the way of any aerial threat."
In addition Prof. Nelson S. Bushnell,
a South Williamstown resident, wrote to
the .same paper expressing the opinion
that Cross' attitude was not "universally
held" in the community, as Cross had
stated. He went on to say that "local
residents have been heard to comment on
the fact that the planes quite obviously
take pains to avoid flying over houses."
Regarding the members of the flying
club. Attorney O'Hearn who is president
of the North Adams Chamber of Com-
merce said, "They mustn't think that
just because they arc students at Williams
college they can disregard the rights of
residents of Williamstown." He went
on to say that they were "inexperienced
and that they were flying in a haphazard
manner, carelessly and negligently setting
their planes down on the field and gliding
and flying at low altitudes,"

Schuman Completes Book
The beginning of the college year found
many of the faculty with books in various
stages of development and some already
on the presses.
Frederick L. Schuman, Woodrow Wil-
son Professor of Government completed
his book A Primer of Power Politics which
is now in the hands of the publishers.
Associate Professor Charles R. Keller put
"what he hopes" are the finishing touches
on The Second Great Awakening in

in Williamstown making final revisions

Band to Boost Purple
Hopes in Princeton Tilt
Plenty of work, musician.ship, and
intelligent direction by Professor
Joaquin Nin-Culmell has produced
at last a band that will make Williams
look good at Princeton no matter
how the Eph eleven makes out against
the Tigers, according to Robert Tully
'42, band manager.
Thirty-five capable Williams mu-
sicians will start for Nassau at 7
o'clock Saturday morning, Tully re-
vealed, and many of them will return
to Williamstown right after the game.
While they are giving the Williams
team a musical boost in Palmer
Stadium, however, they can be count-
ed on to put on a display both of good
music and well-drilled marching,
says Tully.
Two Freshmen Are

Hamilton Wright Mabie
Room Is Made Practical
Library authorities have converted the
Hamilton Wright Mabie Room into a
periodical center in order to insure its
steady usage by students and towns-
people. The room, designed originally
for recreational reading, may still be used
for that purpose as well as for the perusal
of its magazines and newspapers.
The change was motivated by the fact
that too many students were using the
room for sleeping purposes, confusing the
word "browsing" with "drowsing." Very
few people ever used the books which were
intended to provide an opportunity for
recreational reading. At the same time,
there was a great need for expansion of th&
reference room due to new acquisitions
and the transfer of bibliography material
from the stacks under the new classifi-
cation.

Addition To Fine Arts
Of the Fine Arts department, both
.■\ssociate Professor Lane Kaisoii and Mr.
Whitney S. Stoddard worked on manu-
scripts in their particular field ultimately
to be published in book form. Mr.
William Pierson studied in Cambridge in
connection with color and color theory,
augmenting the Lawrence Art Museum's
collection of colored slides by preparing
numerou'^ reproductions of famous paint-
ings to be found in the Boston area.
Two members of the faculty taught

thur H. Buffington at Michigan and
.Associate Professor Charles (Irinini at
llar\'ard, where he conducted a graduate
course in French Romanticism
Profs. Go To Convention
The convention of the American Chem-
ical Society held in Atlantic city during
the first week of September was attended
by Messrs. Daniel B. Clapp, James R.
Curry, John F. King, Brainerd Mears, an 1
J. William Zabor of the Chemistry De-
partment. During the earlier months of
the summer, Piofessor King was held in
Williamstow n by the construction work on
the nvw wing of the Thompson Chemical
Laboratory. Previous to the Atlantic
Cit\- Trip, Mr. Zabor wis at Woods Hole
working in connection with an investi-
gi'tion of ocean water.
At the same place was .Allyn J. Witei-
inan. Associate Professor of Biology, who
was teaching at the Woods Hole Marine
Biological Laboratory.
With the aid of a grant from the Class
of 1900 Fund, Assistant Professor Samuel
\. Matthews, also of the Biology Depart-
ment, o\-ercame the restrictions of war
and Ickes to travel to La Jolla, California
where he carried on research at the
.Scripps Institute.
Geology Department Active
Associate Professor Perr\-, a member of
the Department of Cleology, spent most
of his time in the close vicinity of Wil-
liainstown coordinating the seisniological
records in the (ieology Laboratoi>\
Franklin \'an llouten conducted a geo-
logical expedition through points of
scientific interest in the western states.
He also visited X'irginia in late August for
an investigation of possible manganese
property for a commercial ore financing
company of New N'ork.
Barnett's Have Twins
William D. Wray, instructor in mathe-
matics, was awarded his degree of Doctor
of Philosophy by Cornell in late June for
his thesis on Statistics.
The arrival of t\vins at Albany on julv
SL'Coiid solved the problem of "what to do
in the summer" for \'iiicent M. Barnett
Jr., an instructor in Political Science.
Mr. Barnett, however, did take enough
time from his parental duties to write
three articles and several book reviews
soon to be published and at the same time
cullaborate with Professor Max I.erner in
forming the new Politic d Science 5-6
course and revising the 1-2 course.
Walter B. Smith, Orriii Sage Professor
of Economics, took time out from his
travels in California, Arizona, and New
Mexico to gather information through
obser\ation antl conversation about the
work being done in regard to soil con-
servation in these states. The William
Brough Professor of Kconomics, Walter
W. McLaren, a member of the executive
committee of the "Conference on Cana-
dian American Affairs" attended a four-
day session at Queens College and parti-
cipated in the discussion on Canadian-
American Collaboration in War.
Se\'eral grants from the Class of 1900
Fund provided impetus to the research
work of Messrs. A. Edwin Benfield,
Alfred C. Emslic, and Ralph P. Winch,
all of the Physics Department. Emslie
and Winch ha\-e been for some time
conducting research in the field of atomic
and ionic study while Mr. Benlield studied
the measurement of thermal coiuluctivities
of rocks.
Barrow Completes Preludes
Robert G. Barrow, Assistant Professor
of Music was in Williamstown composing
four "Preludes for Organ" to be published
this winter.
Willis 1. Milhani, Field Mem(>rial Pro-
fessor of Astronomy, completed an adden-
dum for his book Time and Time Keepers
which will go into print with the Imperial
Edition this fall. Mr. Milbam also spent
much time revising the Astronomy 3-4

Professor Brainerd Mears, chairman of
I the local Committee on Public Safety, has
announced the forthcoming organization
of an evening school for air raid wardens.
Attendance is open to townspeople and
I college undergraduates. There will be no
[ charge for the instruction.
Although the starting dale for the new
defense course has not been definitely set,
it was learned that classes will be held on
Monday and Wednesday evenings for
two-hour periods. The entire course will
consist of five-class sessions. Those who
fulfill the ten-hour class requirement
and pass a final examination will receive
certificates giving them full authority as
air raid wardens. Instructors are to be
men who have already taken the course in
Pittsficid and passed the exam.
Professor Richard A. Newhall, Acting
President of the College and Chairman
of the Williams Committee on Cooper-
ation with the National Defense Program,
explained the function of the new school
by pointing to the experience of London
in the early days of the war. "If roof

Critics Flay Wflliams Fraternities
As 'Smug, ' Idiotic, ' Anti-Educational
'Clannish' Houses 'Scorn Scholastic Duties,'
Waste Money; Hell Week 'Asinine'
{This article presents the criticisms uMch in the past have been leveled
(II \i illiums fraternities, and attempts to emhiate those rriticisms in terms
of the Williams of 1911. Fnture articles uill discuss freshman orientation
programs, pledging policies. Hell Week, fraternity scholastic altitudes, and

Even before the William.s fraternity .sy.stem, lauiiclied hy tlie found-
ing of Kappa Alpha in 18:51$, had taken full root on Main Street, men of
recognized ahility and .sincerity were already questioning the right of
Williams fraternities to exist. During the I890'.s there were charge.s of
frivolity, corrui)t polities, secrcti.sni in a non-secret age, and moral
corruption. Later came charges that fraternity expenses were un-
necessarily high, that Hell Week was idiotic, that fraternities developed
an unhealthy elanni.shne.ss and .scorned .scholastic achievement.
Indictment on Five Counts
Williams College does not exist so Ihat fifteen fraternities can eat,
(h'ink, and be merry; if the fraternities can no longer .supplement the
oollego in its avowed purpose of education, they have outlived their u.se-
fuhie.s.s. Since 1833 this has been the main tenet of fraternity critics.
Tliroughoul the hi.story of The Rkcokd, editors have continually
indicted the Williams fraternity sy.stem on five coimts — .scorn of .scliola.stic
achievement. Hell Week, unhealthy clamii.shness. imnece.s.sarily high
expen.ses, and pin-po.ses incompatible with education. Convinced as early
as 1868 that friiternities were not fulfilling their educational fimction at
Williams, Profes.sor John Bascom was moved to assert that only by abol-
ishing Williams fraternities could the college eradicate the same five evils
hiler to be menlioned in The Recohd.
Fraternities: Good Fellowship
No one in his rigiit mind coidd .suggest that .solution today. For
fraternities, besides being the centers of good fellow.ship they want to lie,
fulfill a need the college caimot supply — rooming facilities for 275 men
and dining facilities for over seventy per cent of the college. .\ renewal

fraternity shcrtco'.i;i;igs ajid *hc practical vaethod>: of eli;nin;iti"g tbi'in.
can alone |)rovi(le a solution to the fraternity problem of 1911.
Many have charged that Williams fraternities .scorn schola-stic
acliievement. Even in 1868, Dr. Ba.scom, later to become the University
of Wisconsin's greale.st president, noted that fraternities "often directly
injure the intellectual character of their number." The only Williams
matt ever to reach the White House fought the fraternities' .scorn of
.schola.slic achievement by trying to form an independent, non-secret
.society on this campus. But James A. Garfield's effoit failed when his
followers founded the mother chai)tcr of Delta ll|)siloii, which then be-
came a part of the very system he had op|)o.se<l. The inc()nii)alibility of
fraternity and education was cited again in 1931, when President Tyler
DeiHictt warned that Williams fraternities were "disregarding their
scholastic standing."

Franklin Will Open
'41 Lecture Series
Professor to Describe
Nazi Penetration of
S. A. Tomorrow at 7:45
Breaking for the first time in years the
tradition of importing all its speakers,
the Williams Lecture Committee will
present Assistant Professor Albert 13.
Franklin of the Williams Romanic
Languages Department tomorrow eve-
ning in Jesup at 7:45 to open the 1941-42
season with a discussion of "Nazi Penetra-
tion in Latin America: the Example of
Ecuador."
Studied in Ecuador
Dr. Franklin, who joined the Williams
faculty in 1939, was granted a leave of
ahscnce last year to study the social back-
ground of contemporary literature in the
Andean countries of South America. In
Ecuador, where he did most of his work,
he gathered a considerable fund of in-
formation on the political set-up in Latin
America.
When he returned to his Williams work
this year he not only continued his lan-
guage work but in addition took up the
teaching of Enrique S. deLozada's Latin-
American relations course (Poli. Sci. 9-10)
in collaboration with Dr. Jose Antonio
Arze. He has told his classes that the
governments of many of our good-neighbor
countries are using the Nazi label to crack
down on opposition groups much as the
communist label was formerly used.

Springfield Downs
Soccer Team, 3-2
Gymnasts Score First
Goal on Disputed Play;
Simson and Gibson Tally
Under a blistering sun Williams' soccer
team went down to a 3-2 defeat at the
hands of the New England champions,
Springfield College, in its opening game of
the season Saturday on the Gynmasts'
home field.
Gibson Scores First
Althcmgh the Pur|)le managed to score
(irst and to hold a 1-0 lead until the second
period, a couple of breaks and the superior
conditiiming and ball handling . of the
Springfield squad sent the Gynina.sts into
a 2-1 lead at the half and a 3-1 lead at the
end of the third period.
Johnny Gibson, playing left inside for
Williams, scored the first goal of the game
in the initial period on a beautiful pass
from Kio Turumi, little Japanese player
who stayed in the game for the full four
quarters. Gibson put the ball away from
about fifteen feet out at the edge of the
penalty area.
Purple Protests Decision
Fate took charge in the second period
when Springfield scored its first goal.
Potter of Springfield kicked a low hard
ball at the Williams goal which Norm
Lowell stopped on the ground, but the
referee ruled that the shot was already
over the goal line when stopped. Wil-
liams protested in vain that the referee

Fusty Bus Strands
Band on Tiger Trip
History repeated itself SaturduN
afternoon when the brightly cloaked
Williams band, having been ile-
taiiied for more than half :ui houi in
New York City, arrived l;Ue at ihe
Palmer Statliuni — just in lime to see
the Tigers score their first touch-
<lown. Although the motor had
been spluttering all the way from
the Herkshires, the new driver picked
up in the metropolis refused to lake
the chance that it would break (io\sn
on the wa\' to Princeton. Conse-
quently the nuisieiiins were forced
to wait until another bus was driven
over from yueens Ijefore eontimiing
their journey. Two years ago the
band also arrived late at the Palmer
Stadium, its bus having broken down
en route.
Newhall Deplores
Hearne and Mucha
Incident in Letter
Presents Problem of
Athletes on No-Cuts
for Campus Study
To the Editor of Tuk RKcmin:
The hurly-burly last week abcjul a
couple of football players ina\' serve to
advertise to the campus a state of alTairs
which arises, in large measure, from an
undeveloped condition of student opinion.
It is hard to believe that all the under-
graduates realize how mildh' ridiculous it
is to imitate a second class Hcjilywood
C'lni (.at^rt-iTiir U.(»li,»rt Ta^"lnrl with ;H1
airplane carrying the hero diriri ici the
football lield just In time lo maki' the
winning touchdown. It is hard lo belie\e
that students realize how luiniilialini; il is
for coaches, managers, and leammates to
be forced into the false p(isilion of askin,t;
special jjrivilege for irresponsible pla\"ers
who presume upon their alhlclic iibilities.
Team work and sporlsnianship slioiild net
be confined to the pUning lielil. An
athlete, who is in difficulties because he
cannot grasp Kaiu's Critique of Pure
Reason, may have an alibi, but one who
gels himself and ihe team into I rouble,
merely because he refuses lo take ortlinar>'
care of his daily program, or to use an
effective alarm clock, is entitled only to
public condemnation, because ill fact he
has been disloyal to his fellow athletes
who have made the neeessar\' effort lo
conform to the sysitem of which I hey are
all a part. It is hard to believe thai
students realize how unfair il is lo the
Dean to try to pass the buck to him for a
situation created by the careless non-
chalance of one or iwo men. The Dean
is the admini.strator of a system, and he
very properly refuses to make exceptions.
It is even more unfair and, indeed, some-
wOiat unscrupulous to urge upon an in-
structor an alteration of the normal
schetlule. No instructor has any autho-
rity to make alterations to accommodale
students who get themselves into a jam,
and any instructor who has done so has
exceeded the powers of his position. Such
procedure encourages and contributes
to .scholastic and administrative anarchy.
If there must be some authority to grant
dispensations on very rare occasions, it
should not be looked fitr either in ihe
Dean's Oflice or in the classroom.
My letter addressed last 'I'hursda\ lo
the football coach will help to make ihe
situation clear. It is quoted here in full.
"Dear Mr. Caldwell:
"I have just addressed a leller lo Dean
Gregersen telling him that I am perniilling
A. G. Hearne, '42, to be absent from His-
tory 7 on Saturday, October 4, without
incurring penalty. I do not need to ex-
plain to you the l)ackRround of this. I
want to emphasize, however, that I am
making a deliberate concession to jou and
to the members of the Williams team.
"The reason why I am doing this arises
from Mr. Colman's explanation that the
two players whose "no-cut" status would
ordinarily keep them in Williamstown on
Saturday, play the same position on the

The Story On Page One
Uiilcs.s yon think tliut frati'i-iiitics arc doiiif? a good job of .siipplc-
mciilin^- I lie piirpo.scs of Williaiii.s ("ollogc, tlii-ii tho story which appear.s
on the I'ir.st pago of tonight's Uioroui) and the stories that will api)ear
there in ensuing weeks will seem to you unju.stifiecl. To tho.se of us who
have heeii exploring tho jii.stifieations Williams fraternities can give for
I heir exisleiiee there .seems to he a real need for tonight '.s .story, and for
those stories that will delve into siiecific .shortcomings of our fraternities
and suggest specific iinprovenients.
Imomi the time of .hihn iJascom through that of Tyler Dennett,
Williams fraternities have withstood all the criticisms that have been
thrown their way. They have weathered criticism by becoming more
entrenched and more self-satisfied. Entrenchment and self-satisfaction,
and failure to act in a common body, have undermined the nations of
Western Society: they are doing the same to the fraternities of Williams
College, which — in .spite of their shortcomings — are worth saving and
improving for the values they do teach, and for the positive force they
can he.
They can lie saved, however, only l)y groups of thirty and forty men
w ho are eager and desirous of working in conjunction with the .set purposes
of the college; by men who .see that fraternities naturally serve as a drag
on the educational process, and who likewi.se see that if Williams frater-
nities are to lust their relulioiisliip to the educational in-oce.ss, must first
be improved.
We hope that undergiaduates — freshmen especially — and alumni
alike will read this series of articles. We hope that they will see that
nineh of the future of (heir fraternities, and of the kind of education this
college can gi\e. depends upon their attitudes toward the fraternity prob-
lem of 19 n.
There is a wide iliffeieiice in attitude between the national president
of one of A\ illiams' fraternities who reported to TllK Rkcoiid with satis-
faction this sniemer that the undergraduate members of his house "work
their heads off to see that the boys have 'respectable' marks" — there is a
wide difference between that attitude and the attitude of tliis college,
which ex|)ccts, and rightfully, .something better than respectability in
.sclidlarship.
Williams and its fraternities have a more important task today than
turning out res|)eetable gentlemen. Together they are obligated to do
for every member and for every entering freshman what the father of
one man in the Class of i9f,5 lias ilsked of the .seniors in his .son's hoii.se:
"I feel so .strongly about the great problems that are lacing us all, due to
present world conditions, that everyone, particularly the coming genera-
tion, should realize the .seriousness of the demands tluit will be made upon
all of us. Therefore, any encouragemeni you can give him to get the best
out of Williams and college life will be heartily welcomed by mo and I feel
very .sure, by him."
It is bocan.se Williams fraternities liave failed miserably in a task that
is within their ability — getting the best out of Williams — that the .story
on i)age one lias been written.
Mr. Newhall and Princeton
[/asl weekend Williams undergraduates — already worried over
the loss of Daly, Brotlnvell, and Forl)es — .saw their team threatened
with a new di.saster. The first and .second .string varsity right ends were
both on no-cuts, and Princeton was waiting.
What was done to ward off that (li.sa.ster is cogently reiiorted in Mr.
Newhall's letter. If The Hecojcd ever received a letter which merited
|)ublicatioii, Mr. Ncwliall's is that letter.
Last week Princeton-conscious men .said : "Damn it, these cut regula-
tions are a hell of a nuisance." Truth is, they were nui.sances for only
four men of the football squad.
La.st week senior undergraduate leaders, who them.selves had lived
up io college regulations, plead the case of two teammates who had put
their team in a jam by not obeying tlie law.
Last week the men who argued honestly with the proper authority
for the release of one man on no-cuts, at the same time worked under-
ground and illegally to effect the release of the other. And when the
proper authority had generously given the team its much-needed player,
he found that the second player had been released illegally from his no-
cut obligations — behind Mr. Newhall's hack. The two players concern-
etl did not in any way solicit the sup|)ort of the men who sought to obtain
their .services for the team.
Read Mr. Newhall's letter. It will make you squirm more un-
comfortably than last Saturday's .score did.

team. I recognize that tliia is a unique
state of affairs and ttiat it puts the team
at a very peculiar disadvantage. It is to
mitigate that disadvantage that I have
given this permission, described al)ove, (o
Hearne.
"I would like to emphasize to you my
feeling that he and Mucha are the ones
who are to tilame for the jam in which you
and the team frntl yourselves. Probably
you and your assistants and the under-
graduate pla>'ers are full>' aware of this.
I would like to express the earnest hope
that you can lind within the framework of
the athletic system some way of disci-
plining careless and irre.sponsil)le players,
such as tho.se two, for creating the em-
barrassing situation which has t)een
before us."
You will observe that this concession
was based upon the unique situation which
IVIr. Colman described. It was made in
such way as to involve a minimum sus-
pension of the rules, but one sufficient in
itself to help the team at the point where
it needed help. It was an act of authority
taken frankly and openly, without sub-
terfuge and with the full acceptance of
responsibility, knowing that it was certain
to be criticized in some quarters. In
taking this action I was hopeful that it
would offer the opportunity to present to
the campus the problem, which affairs of
this sort present, so that intelligent student
opinion could attempt to prevent their
recurrence.
Since writing to Mr. Caldwell I have
learned that other, and somewhat devious
means, were resorteti to successfully with
respect to Mucha. In my opinion this

FRATERNITIES
(Continued from ijage 1)
Fraternities : Drag on Education
Culmination of the criticism leveled
at the fraternities' scorn of scholarship
came when William H. Curtiss '40, himself
a fraternity man, editorialized in 'I'liK
REct>HD; "There are many who will argue
that the fraternities' purpose is purely
social. If this is tru( — and we hope that
it is not — then it is paradoxical that
organisations which act as a drag on
education should retain a posititm of
privilege in an institution which ha.s as
its avowed purpose the giving of the best
possible education." Despite the warn-
ings of all these men, nian>' fraternity
nienibers today tend — regardless of the
true facts — tf) look down on those social
units which further the college's edu-
cational purpose by capable scholarship.
Damning evidence against the frater-
nities has l)een the fact that the greatest
display of fraternity spirit and activity
conies during the "humiliations and
idiocies of Hell Week." A member of
1942 has descritjed a part of last year's
traditional activities; "The Sigs throw
their freshmen out of the house and pelt
them with snowballs; the Alpha Delta
keep their freshmen up all night and day
before initiation asking them who gave
Williams its line library; the Zetes drop
their freshmen out in he woods and the
Hetas parade them up and down Spring
Street with guns on their shoulders."
Every fraternity, except Phi Ganniia
Delta, which has adopted a Hell Week
program of "useful projects" to replace
the "asininities of tradition," hindered
the educational cause of the college l)\-
such "idiotic" activities last year.
'Big 3-4-6" : SeU-Sufficient
Critics of the fraternities concede that
clannishness is inherent in any social
system. But they constantly attack the
"unhealthy" clannishness of Williams,
which produces the smugness and general
feeling of self-sufficiency so detrimental
to education. The disdain of the self-
styled "Big Three" or "Big Four" or
"Big Six" towards the rest of the houses
has in the past produced "a social system
without unity." A Record editorial of
last June condemned this clannishness
which "puts the greatest seal of approval
on the man who has confirmed to a mould
of pleasant mediocrity."
Because of this clannishness — becau.se
many fraternity men have long felt that
men with brains and intellectual ambitions
are by nature incongenial and poor com-
panions — the Garfield Club has for years
held a large number of the college's best
minds within its membership. Last month
nearly half the Garfield, Tyng, and Mark
Hopkins Scholars announced by Dr.
Baxter were members of the club. Thomas
J. Wood, director of admissions, has often
noticed that high school men are afraid to
enter Williams because prep school grad-
uates have a semi-monopoly on fraternity
membership.
High Costs — 'So What?'
Only evil of Williams fraternities uni-
versally acknowledged by the houses is
the unnecessarily high expense of frater-
nity membership. But despite this ac-
knowledgement, the Fraternity Alumni
Committee, formed by the houses last
spring to evolve a Cooperative Manage-
ment plan for Williams, has failed so far
to receive interested support from more
than a handful of fraternity members.
Today Mr. Wood admits the college loses
many good men each year who cannot
afford a fraternity here, but who do not
wish to be excluded from house member-
ship in the college of their choice.
Because of their clannishness, "avowed
playful purpose," and because they expend
more energy on the idiocies of Hell Week
than on encouraging their members to
meet their scholastic obligations, Williams
fraternities have been accused of harboring
purposes counter to the educational aims
of Williams College. President Dennett
asserted in 1934 that he felt the lowest
third of each entering class received the
most attention from fraternities during
rushing — further evidence that frater-
nities here are not primarily concerned
with education. Even as late as 1940,
only four houses — Beta Theta Pi, Delta
Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sigma Phi —
had instituted programs developed to
instill in their members a desire to excel
scholastically.

Except for these two big advances, Wil-

holding Princeton on downs. Hayes went
for no gain. And then his pass to Han-

Yearling Soccer Team
Deadlocks Deerf ield,2-2
Two Overtime Periods
Fail to Produce Score
at the State Armory
North Adams
Thurs., October 9th
18 Top Musicians
and Entertainers
The freshnwn soccer team finally came
to life in the fourth period of its opening
clash against Deerfield Saturday afternoon
on Cole Field to knot the score and gain
an overtime 2-2 tie with its annual foe.
Although outrun by the speedy Cireen
forward line, the ChalTeemen twice cime
from behind, sending the gime into the
fourth extra-period encounter between
these two rivals in the past fi\e years.
The yearling offense was handicapped
most of the first half by the inability of
the halfbacks to feed the ball up to the
forward line. Time and again the fresh-
men would gain possession of the ball in
their own territory only to lose it in at-
tempting to pass it up the field.
Deerfield Scores First
The prep school eleven was the first to
find the nets near the start of the second
period when its left inside hoote<l the
ball past goalie Tom Hoover A penalty
kick soon after, however, ga\'e the fresh-
men a chance to tie the score, and right
fullback r5art\'an Eck came through in the
pinch, booting the ball just bevond the
reach of the Deerfield netmaii.
In the third period the Green forged
aheati for the second time by virtue of
another well-dirccteJ' kick past goalie
Hoowr. But the gray-jerseycd first year
men could not be denied, and in the middle
of the fourth quarter a drive down the
field was climaxed by center forward
Larry .Smith's goal, tying the score once
again.
In the two five minute overtimes,
neither team coukl produce the winning
tally, despite frequent scoring o])por-
tunitics. One of the Deerfield shots
bounced off the freshman crossbar, while
the 1945 team themselves just failed to
convert a pair of corner kicks.

Army Air Raiders
To Attack College
In Mass Onslaught
Civil Defense to Swing
Into Action Whether
Raid Hits Today or 14th
hy Sam Hunter '44
This afternoon Willlamstown's civilian
air raid defense — with its accompanying
luiraphcrnalia of watchful air raid wardens,
screaming fire alarms, clanging chapel
hells, and perhaps even an honest-to-
noodness incendiary bomb — may be put
1(1 the acid test under the onslaught of a
mock "cnem>" luflwaffe, as the theatre of
the New England war games shifts to the
Northern Berkshires.
The local bombing raids are part of a
general test over an area covering 10 north-
eastern states to determine the efficiency
of coastal and interior air raid precautions
under direct attack. A second test for
Western Massachusetts is scheduled for
Tuesday. Whether planes will actually
appear over the Berkshire sector this
afternoon or delay their attack until Tues
day is a military secret. In the event of
their failure to appear today, warnings
will be given as though they had, and
civilian defense forces will go into oper-
ation anyway.
Mears Heads Defense
Local defense units are under the direc-
tion of Professor Brainerd Mears, town
moderator and chairman of the Committee
on Public Safety. At a final meeting of
the committee last night the details of
precautionary arrangements were worked
out with the local fire and police depart-
ments, the electric light, gas, telephone,
telegraph, and water companies, and the
town red cross unit. Cooperation with
the college was enlisted through Acting
President Richard A. Newhall, and the
Williams Committee on Cooperation with
the National Defense, of which he is
chairman. The committee has ap|)ointed
thirteen students, faculty members and
deputies as tire wardens to watch for fires
started by incendiary boinbs on or near
college buildings.

Colored Slides Feature
Efforts of Arts Dept.
Pierson Spends Summer
Preparing 500 Copies
Williams' Fine Arts Department, hav-
ing taken full advantage of the perfection
of color photography four years ago, today
has perhaps the finest collection of colored
slides in the country. The Williams Col-
lection of over eight hundred slides, ac-
cumulated by Instructors Whitney S.
Stoddard and William H. Pierson, is
probably the only one of its kind made at
first hand from the original subjects —
some of the world's finest painting, sculp-
ture, and architecture.
The largest addition to the collection
was made this summer by Mr. Pierson
who prepared five hundred slides from
photographs taken at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts, the Gardiner Collection in
Boston, and the Fogg Museum at Cam-
bridge. Mr. Pierson, who began experi-
menting with color photography for class-
room slides two and one-half years ago at
New York University, covers the history
of art from ancient Egypt to modern times
in slides now being shown on the screen
to Williams Fine Arts classes.
Mr. Pierson found the museums very
cooperative and greatly interested in his
work. Once during the summer the other-
wise routine nature of his work was marked
by an incident involving the toppling over
of a 1300,000 painting and its rescue by
a museum superintendent.
The slides, which show the finest brush
work and aged cracks, have so aroused
the enthusiasm of the Fine Arts Depart-
ment that plans are being made for similar
work next spring and summer in the
galleries of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleve-
land, Pittsburgh, and Chicago.

How Will Your Fraternity Prepare
Freshmen For House Membership?
Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Phi Have Already
Started Their Freshman Programs
Below, in adjoining columns. The IlECOttD presents examples of
two methods of preparing Williams freshmen for fraternity membership.
At the left is Hell Week, the only preparation for fraternity life many
freshmen got last year; at the right are freshman program.s conducted
by Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Phi. The column on Hell Week des-
cribes what went on in many fraternity houses last February; it does not
attempt to criticize Williams fraternities destructively. The Recoud is
reporting the experiences of Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Phi because
those fraternities have adopted freshman orientation plans which may
be of interest to other houses now faced with Hell Week problems.
Freshman Preparation
1941 Style!
Hell Week last year at Williams was a
fast-moving, exhausting paradox of good
times and meaningless "wet" acts. There
were the hours when the fraternities in-
structed their pledges to do manual labor
of a constructive kind — storing wood in
house cellars, washing windows, cleaning
up alumni dorms. And there were other
hours when some fraternities made their
pledges drink over twenty glasses of water
at a single meal, walk guard with a wooden
gun in front of the gym, and stand before
a roaring fire in a closed room with theii
winter sweaters and trench coats on.
Questions Without Answers
If the Hell Week system of 1941 under-
goes no change this year, the men of 1945
may again be threatened with "black
(See HELL WEEK pcge 2)
Freshman Preparation
1942 Style?
In preparing their freshmen for frater-
nity membership. Phi Gamma Delta
and Sigma Phi have taken the emphasis
off Hell Week, and have put it on a fresh-
man program which begins in September
and culminates in the activities of the
week before initiation. Both these
fraternities, which have not recently been
known for particularly heavy Hell Week
schedules, will probably retain some of
the constructive aspects of the tradi-
tional Hell Week this year.
Hell Week Inadequate
Convinced that Hell Week as the cam-
pus saw it in 1941 is far from adequate
preparation for responsible fraternity
membership, the Sigma Phi house started
a bi-monthly program for its freshmen

Williamstown Gasoline Sales Fall Rapidly
As Result of Student Driving Regulations
by Henry H. HtniTEB '44
The Undergraduate Council's restrictions on student driving has definitely
solved the problem of a gasoline shortage in Williamstown, a Record ix>11 of local
gas merchants revealed yesterday. The garage managers declared that, in spite of
a drop in their gas sales, they appreciated the value of such a program to the Na-
tional Defense effort.
State approval of the U. C.'s driving^
legislation came last Tuesday when David
H. Howie, Massachusetts Director of
Gasoline Conservation, wrote to Acting
President Richard A. Newhall: "I appre-
ciate very much the spirit of cooperation
which has prompted your sutdent body to
take these measures to conserve gasoline.
They form a tangible contribution to Nat-
ional Defense of which the student body
may well have reason to be proud."
Surplus Sean
Prior to the enactment of the Under-
graduate Council's edict on Williamstown
driving, the local merchants were bemoan-
ing the fact that they could not possibly
cope with the student demand. Where
the proprietor of one station was com-
pelled to rely on an individual surplus of
4,000 gallons to answer the September
demand, the gasoline dispensers are now
prognosticating a slight surplus in October.
The spectacular success of the restriction
on local driving is, of course, partially the
result of the most recent Ickesian "bull"
permitting stations 95% of their last
October sales, a definite increase over the
previous Federal law allotting them only
85% of their sales last July.
Spring Street Hit
The two stations that were able to offer
concrete evidence concerning the efficacy
of the U. C. action were Ed Winn's Garage
and Gordon Bullett's Gulf station, both on
Spring Street. George W. Grundy, who
enjoys a "big town trade and outside
trade," declared that the law cannot "help
but affect you some," but as to the extent
of the effect "it is difficult to say." Ba-
con's Garage blandly dismissed the ques-
tion with, "It don't affect us. We

Football Incident
Officially Closed
Newhall, Colman, Wood
Do Not Find Bad Faith
in Hearne-Mucha Case
The "Mucha-Hearne incident" was
officially closed yesterday by agreement of
euiifficLing parties in tiiu ofiiee uf Acting
President Richard A. Newhall. In state-
ments to TiiK Rkcord, Mr. Newhall,
Richard W. Colman, line coach of varsity
football, and Thomas J. Wood, director
of admissions, clarify the situation created
on the campus this week by the publication
of a letter from Mr. Newhall in last Mon-
day's Rbcohd.
The incident, growing out of the no-cuts
condition of Alonzo ('■. Hearne, Jr. '42 and
Joseph R. Mucha '4.? which threatened to
deprive the varsity football team of an end
in the Princeton game, became especially
tense on the campus after Mr. Newhall's
letter, in which undergraduates and
members of the coaching staff were charged
with "bad faith" in getting Mucha re-
leased from classes on Saturday.
Too Many Cooks
All three .statements to Till'; Record,
which follow, declare that actually there
was no bad faith involved in the cir-
cumstances which permitted both Hearne
and Mucha to play at Princeton Saturday:
Thomas J. Wood: It is highly de-
sirable that certain additional facts be
made known regarding the recent football
incident. The unfortunate misunder-
standing occurred through the activities
of too many persons working indepen-
dently on the behalf of the football team.
There was no intent of deception. Last
Wednesday when it appeared that there
was no way that Hearne could leave
Williamstown in time for the game, some
of us turned our attention to Mucha's
case. It subsequently developed that
Mucha was freed from both his Saturday
classes but no one person knew that this
was the case uutil he had left Williams-
town. When the coaches departed on
Thursday it was their belief that Mucha
was to rerhain here, and I had no idea that
Mucha was freed from both classes before
I was informed late Friday afternoon that
he had gone to Princeton. Accordingly,
no one was in a position to advise Mr.
Newhall before he made his decision to
excuse Hearne that Hearne's presence in
Princeton was not essential. On the
basis of the facts available when The
Record went to press on Sunday the
conclusion of bad faith was entirely justi-
fied. The publication of these additional
facts will, 1 hope, make it clear that it was
a matter rather of an excess of enthusiasm
and of a failure to check the results of our
individual actions.

Eleven Encounters
Battered Huskies
Tomorrow at 2:00
Visitor's Line, Punctured
by Injuries, May Be
Sieve For Eph Backs
Coach Charlie Caldwell's football team
will be seeking its second win of the current
season tomorrow at 2:00 p. m. when, for
the first time in history, Williams meets
Northeastern on Weston Field.
In his practice sessions this week. Coach
Caldwell worked with his ends and tackles
smoothing up some of the assinnmeiUs
missed in the PriiKeton game. On Wed-
nesday, he scrimmaged the (irst anil second
elevens against the third team in pre-
paration for tomorrow. Gunnar Hayes,
Don Tewksbury, and Carey Wells all
carried the ball well.
Unless there are major changes before
game time, Caldwell will prubabK start
the same team which answered the whistle
at Princeton. Al He.irne and Hol> Wal-
lace will be at the ends, Hu Oswald and Ed
Callahan at the tackles, Ralph Renzi and
John Irttin at the guards and Bill Ccurter
at center. In the liacklield will be Herb
Holdeii, C> Morgan, Marsh Hannock and
either Hayes or Tewksbury. Kiillowing
the ijractice of having one ol llie eight
seniors cm the squad captain the team ill
each of the eight contests, Callahan will
lead Williams against Northeastern.
Huskies Injury-Ridden
Earlier in the season, the Huskies were
regarded as a distinct threat to a Williams
victory in this game. But a flock of
injuries in the first two games has taken
five of Coach Jimmy Dunn's varsity line
and three men from the backlield acciMilIng
to the Boston ller'ild. With .'North-
eastern so weakened, Williams is looked
upon as the favorite .Saturday, for the
Purple came through the Princeton game
with its entire personni-1 intact. AW this
week, Dunn has been working with his
second-stringers te. prepare them to start
against Williams.If Williams gets its down-
field blocking going tomorrow as it was
against Middlebury, Dunn's second string-
ers may have a time stopping Hayes,
Holden, Hannock and Co.
Northeastern has employed a "looping"
defense in its first two games. Such a
defense calls for each lineman tc ein'er a
certain zone after breaking through the
line. The main principle Is to work to the

Free French Backers
Organize Local Group
Five professors met this week as an
organizing committee to coiisliler the
founding of a local chapter of France
Forever. Professor Cru, Grant, Grimm,
Newhall and Schuman composed the group
which discussed organization details.
France Forever is the name adopted by
the American division of a world-wide
organization made up of French citiz.'ns
and friends of French democracx-. Its
aim is "to provide financial aid. but above
all moral support, for the Free French
forces who carry on the fight against
Germany on land, on sea and in the air,"
according to Professor Cru. The local
chapter's campaign for members is due
to start soon.

Another Story on Page One
Last is.siie a .story on iiage oiii' prcsi'iiled Iho critici.sni.s which Williaiii.s
fraleniities have with.slood siiici' I8I$3. Aiiolhor .story appi'ur.s on page
one today — a .story which (U>.scn))es Hell Week and all it.s .shortcomings.
Hilt this story does more than criticize. It makes a constructive propo.sal,
based on the experiences of Sigma Phi and Phi (laimiia Delta, that Wil-
liams fraternities adopt an initiation program consciou.sly designed to
prepare freshnieii for fraternity membership.
Williams fraternity men have always felt that it is a privilege to lie
a fraternity man. They have always felt that freshmen .should realize
initiation night means much more than a long-awaited jaunt to the goat
room. .Villi heeau.se they have always felt this way, Williams fraternity
men have long supported Hell Week.
But it is iinp().ssil)le to believe that the present "wet" acts of Hell
Week — threats of braiuliiig, twenty-mile hikes on wintry nights, parad-
ing with guns before the gym — have ever convinced a single freshman
that he was about to .share in a great jjrivilege. It is impo.ssible to believe
that drinking twenty gla.s.ses of water at a .single meal or being threatened
with •■i)lack marks" ha.s ever ))rei)ai-ed a single freshman for the j)roper
exercise of that privilege.
No fraternity man feels that .some of the really funny, or really seri-
ous, stmils of Hell Week should be aboli.shed. But many hou.se members
Ho feel that a eon.structive fveshnian program, beginning in Sei)tember
and culminating in Hell Week, will i)repare the pledges for the privilege
they are soon to share. Many feel that the "wet", meaningless acts of
Hell Week — which proihice nothing but fear and humiliation — should
be abolisiied, leaving room for the freshman programs and the sensible
good times of liie week before initiation.
The Hearne-Mucha Incident
Apropos of the "Ilearne-Miicha incident" Tin: Recohh .said in its
la.st i.s.sue: "Last week the men who argued honestly with the i)ro|)er
authority for the relea.se of one man on no-cuts, at the same time worked
inidergromul and illegally to effect the release of the other. And when the
proper authority had generoii.sly given the team its much-needed player,
he fonn<l that the .second player had been relea.sed illegally from his
no-cut o!)ligations — liehind Mr. Newhall's back." Today Tub Rkcoho
admits that there is no element of truth in the.se observations, and jjoints
to the letters from Messrs. Newhall, Colman, and Wood in this issue for
an ex|)laiiatioii of the position taken by Mr. Newhall in his leller published
last Monday on which TllK Rkccjkd ba.sed its editorial.
Till'; Rkcohd does not consider the Williams coaching .staff respoiusible
for the (levelopment of an "incident" by putting Mucha into Saturday's
game. It would have been pretty silly football to keep Mucha out of the
game — e.siiecially .since his presence in Princeton constituted no breach
of faith, and since his presence came as a result of the kind of chances
the present state of Williams discipline permits.
The responsibility for the incident lies with a .sy.stein which put .so
many cooks in the broth, witiiout letting any of the cooks — the coaching
staff, the players, the teachers, the college administration — know what
was happening. The Ironhle lies not .so much with any one man or group
of men, but with the confu.sed .state of Williams discipline — a subject
which, by the way, will be di.scus.scd at a Williams Round Table in Griffin
Hall on October 30.
.Simif lioUBfs niiido their frestimeii eat at
a single table with their right hands tied to
a pole. At that moal a telephone call is
usually planted, and one freshman is told
to answer the telephone without untying
his hand.
Other good things about Hell Week are
the conferenceB some fraternities sponsor
between seniors ami freshmen - confer-
ences at which the seniors explain to each
individual pledge what things he can do to
help the hous;' and what acts he has been
doing since September which injure his
personal popularity and the reputation of
the fraternity. Another example of the
wiiy in which houses |)Ut the fraternity
spirit to good use stems from the practice
of asking alumni to explain to the pledges
about the purposesand the problems of the
house, and to urge the incoming members
to keep up the fraternity's tra<litions of
good fellowship, scpiai-e dealing, and de-
votion to the college.
Some fraternities last year woke their
freshmen up in the middle of the night,
transported them blindfolded to some
distant country spot, and instructed them
to walk home. Often these were the same
houses which insisted that tlieir pledges
should not cuta single classduringtheweek.
Quiz marks consetpiently went down for
most pledges; the infirmary population
was slightly increased.
Some houses made their pledges read a
good history of the fraternity, and told
them to memorize its cha|)ters and history.
.Some fraternities forced their men to
memorize twcK-e songs in one week; others
had been teaching their freshmen fra-
ternits- songs since October. Several
fraternities censured their pledges who
were getting low grades for "letting the
college down," while at the same time
sai-castically telling their pledges with
good grades that they were grinds, tmres.
and no good for anybody.
\Vhetherb>"wet "acts or by sensible good
times, most fraternities used the Hell Week
of l')41 for the same purpose. They tried
to make their pledges reali?,e that it was a
privilege to join a fraternity - a privilege
for which the freshmen had to make
sacrifices (luring Hell Week. Just how
much of a privilege each freshnian re-
garded fraternity membership depended
on the type of Hell Week he had been
through. Some men were thrilled and ha<l
never been happier when initiation night
rolled around; others were seriously con-
sidering breaking their pledges liefore it
was too late.
171 To Go
The expression, "171 To (Jo", which appears in a box on the fir.st
page of this i.ssue, refers to the number of students necessary to put the
new Group .\ccidcnt Policy for Williams into effect. For .several
weeks imdergrathiatcs have been hearing of the i)laii for Grtmp Insurance,
and during the next few weeks, we have no fear, at least 171 of them will
join many other Williams men in participating in an extremely .sensible
plan.
The plan is both fair and rea.sonable. In brief, it is a Group Accident
Policy for the undergraduates of Williams College. The plan guarantees
to reimburse parents for any medical expeu.scs which may arise from an
accident in which the .student is injured during the college year, including
X-ray.s, ho.spital bills, nurses', phy.sicians', and .surgeons' fees, laboratory
co.sts, medicine, and, in short, any medical costs incurred as a result of an
accident. Ileimhnr.seinent is made up to $500 for each accident.
The plan i.s broad in its scope. It covers all accidents, including
.sports, whether su.stained in college, at home, or while driving between
college and home or vvherever the .student may be. Every accident is
included. The co.st is ten dollars |)er year.
Group Accident Insurance is an excellent investment for the students
of Williams College, where the health fee covers only minor accidents and
sicknesses. .V survey taken a year ago at Williams discovered that a large
majority of major accidents here each year run into the hundreds of dollars.
The.sc hundreds of dollars the college did not pay, but ten dollars invested
in the Group Accident Policy would have paid them.

(Continued from page 1)
marks", may again be forced tt) make
lieautifully riesigned paddles, and may
even he krfrt up all night before initiation
to answer hundreds of (piestions — some
of which have no answers.
Freshmen this year may find themselves
working for "masters", whom at the end
of Hell Week they may respect and admire,
or — as was sometimes the case in 1941 —
whom some juf the men of 1945 may h.itc
and detest to the end of their lives. Fresh-
men this year may be forced to wear ridi-
culous costumes in their houses, may be
compelled to eat their meals standing up,
or may be threatened so realistically with
branding or other tortures that they will
faint — just as some of the present soph-
omores did last year.
All these facts are true. But it is just
as true that some of the acts of last year's
Hell Week contributed to the happiness
of everyone concerned.
SIG, PHI GAM
(Continued from page 1)
last week at a meeting addressed by Wil-
liam G. Perry, new a.ssislanl to Oean Half-
dan Gregersen. At the meeting, Mr.
Perry told the .Sig 194,') delegation about
specilic methods of study, a lielcl in which
he is a specialist.
Sponsoring a freshman program similar
to Sigma Phi's, Phi Gamma Delta holds
weekly freshmen meetings during the
first seniesler at which the members of
194,S will practice fraternity and college
simgs, learn alxiut the histery of their
fraternity, become actjuainted with its
linancial and educational problems, and
will hear undergraduates and alumni dis-
cu.ss college, fraternity, and national
topics. Every two weeks a memljer of
the facult\- talks with the Phi Gam fresh-
men, discussing the field in which he
teaches, 'this offers the Phi Gam pledges
an oppcrtunity to meet the faculty, think
out interesting problems with them, and
makes the freshmen aware of the college's
educational opportunities.
In general, the two fraternities operate
their freshman programs with a three-
fold purpose; (I) to help the freshmen
scholastically; (2) to interest them in Wil-
liams and help them get the most out of
college life; and (3) to integrate thein into
the house and college.
'the success of the Sigma Phi's freshman
delegation meeting with Mr. Perry signifies
that the freshman program idea has strong
potentialities. After talking for about half
an hour, Mr. Perry answered questions
which any of the freshinen had about de-
finite study problems they had met during
their initial college weeks. All but a few
of the freshmen had specific tiuestions and
problems to iron out with the assistant
dean. This was convincing evidence both
to Mr. Perry and the Sig upperclassinen,
who are as wary of something new as most
Williams men, that the freshinan program
was already fulfilling a definite need in the
Sigma Phi house.
Mr. Perry's talk was the first in a series
which the Sig pledges will hear and parti-
cipate in before they are initiated. The
talks will be scheduled to occur twice each
month, and will cover a field of subjects
designed, like the Phi Gamma Delta meet-
ings, to help the freshmen get the most out
of their Williams education and out of
their membership in a Williams fraternity.

'Nazis See Victory
In S.A/-- Franklin
Plan of Henry Wallace
Could Dissolve Threat,
Ist Lecturer Asserts
"The Germans think ihiil whether they
win or lose the war in Europe, they have
already won South America," Professor
Albert B. Franlclin told a disappointing
Jesup Mall audience Tuesday night in the
openiiij; lecture on the 1941-'42 Lecture
Committee calendar.
Only iiicreasin(;ly effective American
counteraction along the lines proposed by
\'ice-Presiilent Henry Wallace, Mr. Krank-
lin demonstrated in a piercing analysis of
"Nazi Penetration in South America —
The E.\aniple cf Ecuador", can halt the
Nazi drive to bind South America eco-
nomically and politically to European
Fascism.
Describes German Organization
The Williams faculty-member, on leave
last year to study the social backgrounds
(if contemporarx- S(iUth American litera-
ture, outlined for an audience which in-
cluded fewer than fifty undergraduates
the course of Nazi activities in ICcuador
since their incept ion in 1936.
Into Ecuador the Nazi vanguard began
to pour in 1936, IVIr. Franklin revealed.
Thousands of "nice yimng men" were sent
into the country by legal and illegal means
to set up the nation for Der Tan. Four
branches of the German organization were
established to coordinate the penetration
effort.
These were, Mr. Franklin explained, the
Kibbentrop section, the Goebbels section,
the llinintler-(Jesta])o department, and
the Goering-men — technicians, airhne
pilots, etc. Diplomacy, propaganda, Ges-
tapo tactics, and Goering were alike suc-
cessful, said Mr. [•'ranklin, until Britain
and America began to put up a battle.
Nazis not Through
British-American power has had its
{■ffect, he stated, but "what we are seeing
now is net the end of Nazi activities in
.South America." The next step, he be-
lieves, will be an attempt to work through
the Falange, Franco's Fascist party.
Unless American methods of countering
the German threat change radically, Pro-
fessor f'ranklin affirmed, the Nazis won't
be ousted and defeated in Latin America.
The economic planning espoused by men
like Henr\ Wallace is the most e(Tecti\'e
strategy. "Such countries as Ecuador,"
he concluded, "are just waiting to declare
for us if the Wallace plans go through."

fiut the two Spring Street petrol caterers
definitely felt the repercussions of the
decree, Ed Winn declared, "All I can say
is that business ain't what it used to be."
He explained that last year he had spe-
cialized in repair work and had an average
of eight to ten customers each week. But
since the driving law he said his total
business had been two tune-ups before
Princeton weekend, a couple of grease
jobs and three student cars put into
storage. He reasoned, "^'ou can't repair
'em when they don't drive 'em."
As to a gas surplus, he declared he could
have one easily, but because of the decline
in demand he had been forced to refuse
part of the governmental allotment. He
concluded, "I won't have any surplus
because I'm not stocked up very heavy."

Purple After First Win
of Season Tomorrow
on New Haven Field
Williams' soccer team, defeated 3-2
last .Saturday by the New England
champions, Springfield College, moves
down to New Haven tomorrow to take on
N'ale's untried squad in the second game
of the 1941 campaign.
Despite Saturday's loss, the Purple,
aided by another week's practice to iron
out some of the roughness in its ball
handling, is conceded a good chance
against the Elis, especially in the light of
last year's game in which an underdog
Williams squad rose up and tied the
previously undefeated Yale team, 1-1.
No obvious weakness in any particular
team position was unearthed in the game
against Springfield, although the con-
ditioning of the team was in general in-
ferior to the Gymnasts'. Coach Bullock
has therefore been concentrating this week
on building up the stamina of the squad.
Despite a forehead gash received in
Thursday's practice. Norm Lowell is
again scheduled to start in the Purple
goal, and Captain Joe Cochran and Binnie
Barnes will be at their regular fullback
positions in the Williams defense line.
Carter Hall, Hcdley Reynolds, and Larry
Thompson, all starters in the Spring-
field game, will again take over the mid-
field defense positions against the Elis.
The Purple forward wall will line up
with (ieorge .Simson, scorer of Williams'
second goal last week, at outside left,
Johnny Gibson who put across the first
tally in the Springfield game, at inside
left, and Ben Hurd at center. Kio
Turumi, who assisted on both of the first
two Purple goals, will occupy the outside
right position, and sophomore Hugh
Masters will probably start at inside right.
Football Incident
(Continued from page t)
Richard W. Colman : With the great-
er part of -Mr. Newhall's letter to The
Ke('Oiii) of October 6, the coaches and
managers are in complete agreement. We
full)' appreciate his point of view and are
grateful for his decision which permitted
Hearne to drive to Princeton on Saturday
morning in time to play in the game. We
wish to take this opportunity, however,
to assure Dr. Newhall and the under-
graduate body that no act of bad faith was
intended or executed. On leaving Wil-
liamstown Thursday neither the coaches
nor the team expected Mucha in Princeton
— indeed Mucha himself was resigned to
missing the game. Developments on
Friday, of which we were ignorant, allowed
him to make the trip.
Richard A. Newhall: The letters to
the editor from Mr. Wood and Mr. Colman
make it clear that, whatever the appear-
ances, there was in fact no bad faith in-
volved in the matter of Mucha's presence
at Princeton last week. I cannot over-
emphasize my own feeling of satisfaction
and relief at this, because I am convinced
that the college community can function
smoothly only in a spirit of mutual con-
fidence.

Saturday, Confirm
Faculty Positions
J. Nin-Culmell Promoted;
New Course Approved ;
Baxter's Leave Defined
III ils annual fall meeting last Saturday,
llic ciillege board of trustees confirmed
ii|;lit f.iculty appointments and one pro-
motion made (luring the summer, and
voted to organize 'i new mechanical train-
iiiH course.
Joaquin Nin-Culmell was promoted to
Assistant Professor of Music, while Jose
.\iilonio Arze was appointed X'isiting
Lecturer in .Spanish and Political Science,
David P. Curtiss, M. D., Assistant in

In a|jproving a plan proposed by Ralph
P. Winch, Assistant Professor of Physics
and Secretary of the Faculty, to offer a
course in machine technique under the
I direction of George E. Wood, science
I laboratory mechanician, the board con-
I tributed funds for organizing and con-
' ducting the course.
The trustees also "notcl with interest"
the driving regulations enacted by the
Undergraduate Council and declared
themselves anxious to watch their out-
come.
President Baxter's leave of absence was
confirmed "for such a period as he deems
necessary but not to exceed a year,"
dating from August Uth, 1941, leaving
liim free to return to Washington, D. C.
Williama Cub Ejected
From Princeton Univ.
You'vd heard the story of the ficti-
tious person who went through four
years of Princeton by having under-
graduates take examinations for him.
Well, here's where the Sons of Old
Nassau did themselves one better:
They expelled a person who never
went there.
On October 16, Raymond F. Ell-
iott, Williams '45, will be permitted
to resume his studies at Princeton.
On the weekend of the Williams
game with the Tiger, Elliott was
apprehended at the "Nass" by a
University Proctor, and charged with
a breach of Princeton regulations.
When he attempted to explain that
he attended Williams, the man
laughed at his remonstrance as a
'poor excuse" and suspended him
from Princeton for twelve days.
Max Lerner Flays Lawrence Dennis, Foremost
American Fascist, in Heated Radio Tussle
A heated exchange of verbal fisticuffs
and-out blasphenn- sizzled the air waves
Lawrence Dennis got together for a ([uie
cratic survival under current economic
America" radio forum.
Pile argumentative pitch began to soar
very early in the round table when Dennis,
foremost American fascist apologist, left
the realm of economics and turned to
politics. Mr. Lerner flayed him for his
failure to make any distinction between
the American "dynamic", democratic
brand of leadership, and the totalitarian
fuehrer principle. Mr. Dennis countered
that it made little difference because in
both the United States and Germany a
small, authoritarian minority "mani-
pulates" majority opinion for its own
aggrandizement.
'Professors Pawns' — Dennis
Phen the fireworks started with accu-
sations and denials hurtling backandtorth.
Mr. Dennis declared that there was little
to choose in the way of democracy between
the United States and Germany. In
America the controlling minority was the
propertied class rather than military elite.
Pointing an example of their power, he
noted that American college professors
are pawns in the hands of the ruling class.
Mr. Lerner immediately took issue with
this view. He expressed the belief that
in America, class and economic conflict
could be resolved in the public interest by
a strong, democratically administered
government. Speaking of Williams to
which he referred as "one of the crack
colleges in the country", Professor Lerner
assured Mr. Dennis that he had never been
placed under external pressure nor had his
teaching influenced from above.
'Lerner Un-American' — Dennis
Mr. Dennis shifted his tactics. He
charged that Lerner's advocacy of positive
presidential leadership and a planned
economy was un-American. He dropped
a veiled suggestion that the Williams poli-
tical scientist might even be in league with
the bolsheviks. Exasperated by Dennis'
efforts to discredit a democratic, planned
American economy by linking it with
communism, Mr. Lerner lashed his oppo-
nent severely for muddling the issue. "All
afternoon," he declared, "you've been
trying to get me to say that Russia is a
democracy — but I will not — You've
been distorting everything I've said all the
way through."
Only the moderator's repeated shouting
of "time's up, gentlemen," at the end of
the hour could call a halt to the heated
controversy.
that included almost everything but out-
Sunda>' afternoon when Max Lerner and
t discussion of the possibilities for demo-
conditions on the weekly "Wake up
Undergraduate efforts are now
being made to obtain a transcription
of the broadcast in which Mr. Lerner
and Mr. Dennis participated for re-
broadcast in Williamstown.
Simpson, Mystic
To Speak Tonight
'Aristocratic Radicalism'
Topic of 2nd Lecture
in Jesup Hall at 7:45
Concerts Selected
By Student Choice
1941-42 Thompson Series
Determined by Result
Of Undergraduate Poll
Ponight at 7:45 in Jesup Hall, William
Gayley Simpson will speak on "Aristo-
cratic Radicalism" in the second lecture
of the fall calendar.
Mr. Simpson has been described as "an
ex-minister, ex-pacilicist, ex-liberal worker
and ex-socialist an<l a modern mystic and
prophet." 'Phe Lecture Committee has
released the information that he is "not a
social worker — nor a social reformer —
a seeker of truth — no matter at what
co.st."
'Man with Message'
Phe publishers of his lirst book, Toward
the Rising Sun, say that "for years this
young idealist lias been addressing and
conferring with groups at various colleges,
and today his influence is felt among the
more serious-minded students at all our
Eastern institutions." Unlike Lowell
Thomas last year, he comes to Williams
as a man with a clear-cut philosophical
message.
His story is primarily the story of a
prolonged search for the meaning of life.
Graduated from Lafayette in 1915, he
became a minister, only to quit the Church
in the last year of World War 1 on the
ground that the Church was "both a
prostitute and a Judas." He was a paci-
fist and tended more and more towards
socialism as he saw the drawbacks of the
capitalistic system.
In 1920 he gave away all his property
to devote himself to the Fransican ideal of
poverty. As an unfrocked missionary to
the people he talked on street-corners, in
parks, in churches, and to student groups.
Deep misgivings alicmt the nature of his
fundamental beliefs forced him to re-
orientate his entire philosophy, and to
bind himself to the contemplative life, he
retired to a farm in the Catskills, where he
remained until he again went out to talk
to youth.
Carea About Life
The message he has brought to audience
after audience is suminarized in a state-
ment made a few years ago; "I care
about life. What I care most about is
that I may find it, and that finding it I
may arouse other men to a sense of the
life which is in them also."
by ROBEIIT G. B.IHROWS
AssislanV Prii/essor of .Music
fhe Phonipson Concert Committee
this Near has been guided in its choice of
artists by a poll taken last spring to deter-
mine student preferences in music. Every
effort has been made to arrange concerts
which would reflect as nearly as possible
the opinions expressed in this poll.
Phe symphony orchestra was found to
be an overwhelming lirst-choice among
Williams men. As a result, the series this
\'ear will present livo performances !)>• the
Orchestra of the New Friends of Music —
the first time in many years that the col-
lege has had two symphony concerts in a
single sea.son.
Piano Second Choice
Piano recitals ranked a close .second to
the orchestra and for this reason two
different piano artists are being offered:
Emma Boynet, the well-known French
pianist, ancf our own Mr. Nin-Culmell
whose brilliant performances last \ear
have already made him a favorite with
college audiences. Olin Downes, famous
critic of the New York Times, describes
Mile. Boynet's playing as "incomparable."
Koussevitzky says, "She plays Mozart
like an angel."
The concert choir was voted third choice
among students here, and this type of
music will be represented by the famous
Dessoff Choir of New York, who sing
entirely without accompaniment. This
group specializes in 16th century music
such as that frequently heard (and liked!)
by Williams men in our own chapel.
Two solo singers will be presented on
the series: Olga Avcrino, soprano, and
John Brownlee, leading baritone of the
Metropolitan Opera. Mmme. Averino's
superb musicianship last year made a
return engagement a certainty. Mr.
Brownlee — an Australian — is a fine
vocalist with a genial personality — a
combination which makes him beloved
by all audiences.
One of the most successful concerts of
the past season was that of the Stradi-
varius String Quartet, and for this reason
the committee felt that a return engage-
ment would have great appeal. They
are this year beginning their third conse-
cutive year at Harvard.
The opening concert of the season will
be given by Samuel Dushkin, one of the
few really great violinists of our gener-
ation. He has just returned from Mexico
City where he gave the first world per-
formance of Rodolfo Halffter's violin
concerto, together with the symphony
orchestra in that city.
Scoring three times on the gtound.
twice through the air. and once on an
intercepted pass, an alert Williams eleven
bulled Northeastern under a ,^8-() score
Saturday afternoon on Weston Field
before .3,000 speetatois to rack up the
second \ictory of the year for Coach
Charlie Caldwell.
The first half was just about a picnic
for the home team, for the Purple ran and
passed its way to thirty-two points. The
Williams line had plenty of zip to open the
holes for ball rirriers Herb llolilen. Marsh
Hannock, Gunnar Hayes, Hud Tewksbury.
and Bill Schmidt, This same line also did
some really crucial blocking downfield
after the hacks got free.
Offense Clicks Early
So compU'telv <lid Williims dominate
the play that only twice <liil the Huskies
ever get acr^'ss the .SO — once in the first
four minutes on a Sakovitz-to-Phillips
pass and once in the last minute of the
game. Otherwise, Acting-Captain and
tackle Ed Callahan and the rest of his line
held the Boston teim well in check.
Williams started with a rush in the
nippy afternoon. With Bob Wallace and
Hu Oswald throwing vital open-field blocks,
the team clicked off two first downs in a
row to the Northeastern iO only to lia\e a
Hayes-Hannock pass go astray on fourth
down. But after an exchange of kicks,
on which Williams gained ten yards, the
Purple hammered right back at the Husky
goal line and this time the llayes-to-
Hannock combination hit pay dirt,
Tewksbury Scores Twice
Williams drove lA yards (84 if you count
two penalties totaling twenty yards) for
another touchdow n right after the start of
the second period, .'Kfter lour first downs,
Holden eventuallx' scored from the 0.
Not content with this exhibition, the
Purple whizzed right back for three more
touchdowns in the same period. One of
these was a S4-yard run liy Schmidt, after
he had apparently been tackled foraten-

'Williams Night' Frolic
Drafts College Talent
Williams Night, a replica in miniature
of the hilarious Nathan Jackson Smoker,
will take to the Lasell Gym floor this
Saturday night as a part of the Bowdoin
dance, an annual training table benefit.
Planned as a supplement to the music of
the Williams Purple Knights, the spectacle
under Ringmaster Warren G. Hunke '42,
will stage a combination of undergraduate
tomfoolery, skits, individual acts, and
other mass foolishness.
Russ Morgan May Appear
According to Charles II, Tower '42,
the dance will be held at nine o'clock,
probably on the main floor of the gym,
and may offer a personal appearance of
Russ Morgan as an added attraction. If
the Albany liandleader appears, he will
probably be accompanied by his vocalist.
Campus information about the show
itself has been limited to rumors, some of
which Tower was able to confirm on Sunday
evening. Besides Hunke as master of
cereinonies, the octet will work over four
or five of their best numbers, and a fresh-
man hillbilly trio will be (m hand to take
over when they stop.

experienced illusionist and prestidigitator,

The Fraternity Series
Many undergi'atiuates have so far been hostile to the series of articles
TiiK Hkcdud lias been puhli.sliiiig on Williams fraternities. Some of
them .say: "How can you .sit over there in Jesup like God himself and
preach to men who know just as iniicli if not more than you <lo?" Some
denounce TiiK Rkcoiu) for "attacking" Williams fraternities. Some are
convinced tliat I lie college newspai)er has no right or need to discuss such
a "hallowed, traditional, private matter as fraternities."
TiiK Hecokd's purpo.se in printing the fraternity series is not to
preach or to attack. Its piirjjose is simply to present to the under-
graduate body the best available information on po.ssible methods of
making fraternity life more responsive to the educational purpose of the
college, and more valuable to every man who joins a fraternity.
Last week Thk Rkcoud reported the profjrams now used by two
fraternities to prepare their freshmen for fraternity nieniber.ship. The
piirpo.se of that story was to suggest that Williams fraternities could im-
prove their Hell Week by the addition of a year-long freshman program.
Today The Recoku reports the scholar.shii) ]irograms of every Williams
fraternity. These programs represent a constructive ste|) in the right
direction — the direction of making Williams fraternities indispensible
to college life because they are efficiently supi)leineiiting Williams in its
avowed purpose of e lucation. The Record hojjcs every fraternity will
find something u.seful in the facts printed on this page today. Next
Thursday an article will present the suggestions of twelve professors —
suggestions on how Williams fraternities can make their .scholastic pro-
grams more successful and beneficial Ihaii they now are.
Through the medium of its campus newsjjaper, will Williams frater-
nity men be willing to exchange ideas and programs designed to strengthen
and improve all houses here? Will Williams fi-ateriiities be willing to
prove — by conscientiou.sly living iij) to the .scholastic |)rograms they have
voluntarily createil for their pledges and themselves — that they want to
help the college in the giving of the best po.ssible education.-'
if Williams fraternities will be willing to do this, their fuiiire at this
college is .secure. Hut the traditions or the privacy or the .sacredness of
fraternities will never insii'-e their future existence. Only the .sensible,
cooperative action of a group of men who rightly believe that Williams
fraternifies must never disintegrate into eating clubs will guarantee the
future of the college's present social system.
Home Presidents Report Adoption of Plans
Designed to Aid Their Pledges Scholastically
Every Williams fraternity has adopted a scliolastic program designed to orientate
tlie men of I'M.S into the educational system of the college, the presidents of the
fifteen houses revealed last weekend. Many of the houses have also made plans
to aid upperclassmen scholastically.
The reports of the house presidents are*
printed helow. They are publtshcd in the
hope that each Williams fraternity will
find useful and valuable ideas in the pro-
grams of the other houses. I low successful
each fraternity was last year in aiding its
members scholastically is indicated by the
scholar.shii) ratings of the houses, reprinted
today from Tmk I<Kconr)'s midsummer
issue. The presidents' reports follow:
.4lpha Oelln I'hi: President Oswald
explains that to late the A. D po.icy has
been to emp.iasize scholarship when talk-
ing to the freshman delegation. The A.
D. president did not wish to reveal any of
his fraternity's futuie plans to aid the
freshmen and upperclassmen scholasti-
cally.
Belu Thelu Pi: President Wnkeficld
asked John Hoylston '42, chairman of the
scholarship conniiittee, to submit this
report: "The scholarship committee
consists of three men, one man to coach
the freshman in sciences, one man to coach
them in languages, and another in social
sciences. If the committee member has
not taken the course the freshman needs
help in, he is responsible for appointing
another upperclassman who has taken the
course in question.
"The first step is to go to Tom Wood
soon after rushing and check to see which
of the pledges may have trouble scholas-
tically. The committee cln then keep
their eye on the doubtful freshmen and try
to see that the boys keep up in their work.
"The committee is also responsible for
seeing that a faculty member is invited up
on Wednesday evenings and Sunday for
dinner. In this way, it is hoped that the
freshmen will meet many of the faculty.
Also, and similar to the Phi Gam plan, the
faculty members are asked on occasions to
speak to the freshmen on college activities,
etc.

are assigned to help freshmen in courses
they are having trouble with.
"Before hour exams and finals, bull
sessions are organized for courses that
several freshmen anil upperclassmen are
taking.
"The system, if it can be called that, is
flexible and any measures that seem
advisable in individual cases may be taken
to try and help the boys who seem to be in
trouble. "
C:hi Psi: President Holden writes,
"Chi Psi's scholastic program centers
around a scholarship committee of the
upper three delegations working with the
head of the house. It is the policy of this
committee to find out who is having diffi-
culties and attempt to aid those indi-
viduals.
"The first step is to require all the
members to post their marks in all courses
on a large scholarship chart the posting
includes grades in homework, papers,
short quizzes, hour tests, and final e.xams.
With the information so received and with
the issuance of warnings, the committee
determines the personnel to be involved in
the scholarship program.
"This program is organized as follows:
all freshmen and sophomores wdio appear
to be having scholastic difficulty before
warnings are invited to stud)' in upper-
classmen's rooms fi\-e and six night a week
for as long as the committee deems neces-
sary. The hours from 7:30 p. m. to 10:.?0
p. m. have been set aside as study hours
(luring which period there is to be no noise
or confusion of any kind, .'\fter warnings
have been given out all men in the house
who ha\e recei\ed two D's or one E
warnings, or worse, are re(|uired to attend
a study hall in Stetson librar\' five nights
a week.
"This study hall goes into elTect shortly
after the first freshman warnings are issued
and is compulsory with cheeked atten-
dance. Individual aid is given by the
upperclassmen to the freshmen and sopho-
mores in cases where it is needed...
"In individual cases where the effects of
the library study hall lie doubtful, the
scholaiship committee reserves the right
to recpiest the delinquent student to study
in the lodge under the siiperxision of ii
member of the committee."
Delta Kappa Epsilon: President Mc-
Cann writes, "At our first house meeting
after rushing, we ap|)ointed thirteen upper-
classmen to work indi\'idually with our
thirteen pledges. We are beginning our
scholastic program before warnings to gel
the freshmen off on the right foot.
"The uppercl.issnien will keep private
records of their individual freshman's
marks, will encourage him to work hard in
every way possible, and will discuss any
liroblems he may have with him, his
professors, or with Deke upperclassmen
who are majoring in the courses causing
difficulties.
"If any of our upperclassmen get into
scholastic difficulties, members of the
house majoring in the difficult courses will
immediately aid them. We are encourag-
ing those members who room out of the
house to study in the house if there is too
nmch noise in the dorms. If our program
for freshmen does not help avoid warnings,
we will institute a study hall in the fra-
ternity library — a study hall designed
for work and not for bull sessions."
Delta Phi: President Heyes reveals his
house has a scholarship committee which
begins to act two weeks after pledge night.
Juniors and seniors are expected to take
care of their own scholastic progress, or to
ask upperclassmen strong in their own
weak courses to help them. The com-
mittee works individually with the fresh-
men, one upperclassman being assigned
to each pledge.
Study halls at Stetson Library are en-
forced for those freshmen receiving warn-
ings. Chief purpose of the Delta Phi
committee, however, is to consistently
encourage hard work during the whole
semester, thus helping the freshmen and
sophomores avoid warnings.
Delta Psi: President Swain asserts,
"Early in the year our house scholarship
committee meets with the freshmen to
plan the course for the year. This year
the system has been revised. All freshmen
are requested to bring up any D or E test
papers and have them looked over and
suggestions aic made then. At warnings,
any low men are required to attend study
hall at the house a specified number of
times a week. This is supervised by
seniors. We take no steps, however,
without tegarding the individual case.
Some men can't study in a supervised hall
where others can. We necessarily make
allowances for this."
Delta Upsiloni President Whidden
says that his fraternity posts a list of all
house members, their courses, and their
majors early in October. If any members,
particularly freshtnen, are having scho-
lastic difficulties, they are instructed by

Purple Harriers Nose
Out Middlebury, 27-28
An unusually strong Middlebury cross-
country team, winning first, third, and
fifth places, was virtually assured of vic-
tory on their home course Friday when the
Williams harriers came up to take si.xth,
seventh and eighth places and nose out
the Panthers, 27-28.
Middlebury's sophomore star, Davis,
finished first ahead of Williams captain
Bob Griggs in the comparatively slow
time of 24 minutes, 57 seconds, while two
more second-year men, Parker and Smith,
took third and fifth, respectively, with
times of 25 minutes, eight seconds, and
25 minutes, 42 seconds.
Behind Griggs for the Purple were
Ken Moore, who finished in 25 minutes,
29 seconds for fourth place. Brew Chap-
man and Maurice Goodbody, tied for
sixth, and Dave Brown, sophomore
addition t(j the s<|uad, who finished eighth.

yard loss. 'The next was a miraculous
alTair which saw Williams go 72 yards in
just twa plays. Starting from his own 28,
Tewksbury first skirted the end for 15.
and then on the next play took a pass
from Schmidt on Northeastern 's 26 and
raced over the li[ie after stiff-arming two
tucklers.
To complete this second period spree,
tackle Coby Wilson interce|)ted a wobbly
Northeastern pass on the Husky 20 and
ran across the goal line.
Reserves See Duty
With this substantial margin at half
time. Coach Caldwell gave his reserves
plenty of action in the second half by using
every player on the bench. But Williams
was not quite satisfied with its afternoon's
work. Once more the team dro\e 6"
yar:ls down field, ind Tewksbury crashed
over from the 1 for the final touchdown.
.Mthough Williams had two more good
opportunities, the game ended without

'Daily Dartmouth' Lauds
Graff Repertoire
Opening the theatrical season at Wil-
lianistown at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow in the
Adams Memorial 'Theatre, the Graff
Ballet Troupe will give college students a
chance to see modern interpretive dancing
at its best. Although Williams has not
had any performances by this company in
the past, the enthusiastic recepti(]n of their
program at Dartmouth last week indi-
cates that they have an appeal for college
audiences.
Said the DarlmoiUli, "'To a community
which is not iji the usual sense what is
called hallet-ctinscious, the Graff succeeded
in bringing a type of thiiannc expression
which made mere patronizing politeness
impossible, which made either friends of
enemies, and which in general made warm
friends."
Ten Dances Slated
A varied repertoire of ten different
dances will be on the program Tuesday
night, including "\'intage — 1912", which
was called a "sensational success." This
.satire is built up on two pre-war ragtime
classics, "Darktovvn .Strutter's Ball" and

II a freshman had trouble with a parti-
cular course, an upperclassmaii would be
assigned to work wilh him and check his
progress in the subject which olTered
difficulty. Or, perhaps, if a particular
course seenie<l In be Iroublesonie for
several members, informal discussions on
the subject led b\ an upperclassman would
be helil befori' examinations. Such a
program was helpful, but many felt that it
did not go to the heart of the problem.
Last year the program underwent a
revision. Much of the old plan was re-
tained, but a new |)hase was ailded. Re-
cognizing the vast dilTerence between
college and prep-school work, not only in
coiUent but in requireiuent as well, the
committee made an elforl to help the
freshman make ihose changes in study
habits and stud\ approach which are
necessary for successful college work."
Phi Delta Theta: President Hussey
reports, "A year ago last March «<■ started
a drive to raise our scholarship. I'p to
that time, we had run slud\ halls for those
who hail low grailes or warnings totaling
two points ()2 point- = 1'^ ' I'"'"' ~ f^)-
We found stuily halls inelTicient and dis-
continued I hem. Our new schl^larship
plan went as follows; (I) We had a si.\-
nian scholarship committee; (2) The mem-
bers of this committee were each respon-
sible for the grades of live house members;
(3) They held weekK niei'lings with then-
live-man groups; (4) They heljjed indi-
vidual cases as soon as scholastic dit'ti-
cullirs arose.
"This plan was used ihroughoul the
lirst semester of lasl year. We, however,
continued to supplement anil improve this
sNsteni by (1 ) making index cartls for each
house member so that the scholarship
committee coulil follow each man's pro-
gress more closeh , and by (2 I erecting a
large bulletin board rexcalini^ marks and
warnings.
"This amended program w.is carried
out all lasl spring. .At e\cr\ possible lime
it was emphasized that the housi' scholar-
shi|) must rise. .'\mazingl\ enough, we
rose from l.Uh to 8th place in scholastic
staniling (to 6th place among fraternities).
"The n;itional polic>' of I'hi I )elta Theta
.says that a failure to keep llie chapter
average above the all-men's average will
result ver\- likely in revocation of charter.
This naturally was a real incentive to us."
Phi Gamma Delta : Presidi'nl Shawan
writes, ".-X scholarship mmniittee i^
a|)pointed lo keep dosi' track of freshman
grades ihroughout the ye.n'. This coin-
niittee is sort of a clearing house; it has
each freshman post his daib grades anil
bring to it any tests or papers whose grades
seem unjuslilied for analysis li\ an upper-
classman who in strong in Ihal |);irlicnlar
subject.
".Also freshmen who show a continii;il
tendency toward low grades in an\ subject
are assigned competent upperdassmen
tutors. Last year the liiaise secured a
faculty tutor for several pledges who were
low in the same subject ."
The niendiers of Phi (iamma |)ell;i ,ire
careful not lo appoint ain'one lo ihe
scholarship committee who is not sin-
cereK- interested in the I ask of helping
freshmen. Men with i^nod grades are
usually elect ed to the c-omniittee.
I'lii Simula Ku|i|ia! President Match
reports, "Al our first meeting after rush-
ing, one senior, one junior, iind one soiih-
nmore are elected to llw scholarship
committee, the senior becoming chairman.

scholastic improvement of all house
members, especially freshmen and sopho-
mores. Kreshman charts, with subjects
i'.ml instructors, arc made so that the
cmmnittee can follow the day-by-das-
grade record of the pledges.
"Before warnings, the chairman of the
committee writes the professors of all
freshmen, asking how the pledges are
progressing, and what steps can be taken
by the house to improve their records.
When warnings ccntie out, they are all
posted on our liulletin board. Then the
strong meiubers of the house help the
weaker to impro\e their study habits,
their methods of writing quizzes, and
ultimately to raise their grades."
I'si llpsilciii: President ( iibson states
that the Psi I', scholarship committee goes
into action after warnings. Each fresh-
man receives indivi<ln al attention from a
member of the committee, .A study hall is
organized se\-eral timi's a week. Upper-
classmen in difficulties work out their
problems with house members strong in
the courses causing trouble. The Psi U.
Iiresident beliexes that the scholarship
committee cannot finiction .satisfactorialh'
before warnings, lie said the scholarship
committee worked .so well last spring that
a man with four warnings received a 3.2
aserage for the semester.
Si^inii I'lii: President Kndolph admits
that, "Waiting until after warnings to do
something about scholarship doesn't work.
This week we are posting on the bulletin
board a list of all the courses being t.ikeii
by men this year, all men taking those
courses this ye:u-, and all men who have
done well in them in the past. This chart
will give all men in the house, not (Uih'
freshmen, ready access to help at all times,
A special chart for freshmen on which they
have to record grailes will serve as an
indication of where they need help. .M-
ready several freshmen are working with
upperclassmen on courses in which they
feel they are ha\ ing trouble. .Mter warn-
ings there will be recpiired attendance
each night in .Stetson Library for all men
with warnings. At the same time, a
scholarship conimiltee composed of seniors
will determine from th<ar teachers the
nature of the kind of hi'lp needed b\' men
with warnings."
Theta Delta Chi: President Kowler
writes, "I'he scholarship of our fri'slimeii,
as well as upperclassmen, i-. tinder the
guidance of an alumni adviser who resides
in Williamstown, and an I'ndergraduate

Important Notices!
".Students may entertain women
guests in their dormitory rooms be-
tween the hours of 1:00 p.m. and
6:.W p.m. only." The necessity and
desirability of this regulation is clear
to anyone, and since students are ex-
pected to observe the rule without
that bell-ringing and policing which
would be embarrassing both in the
students and their guests, infringe-
ment will be regarded seriously."

"Members of the Senior and Junior
classes will be permitted to drive this

President, U. C.
.Spring street, dormitories, fraternity houses and cl'iss-rooms scattered at con-
venient places throughout the campus
One of the organizations which attempts
to transgress the limits of the college and
to establish town-college relationships is
the Welfare Committee of the Williams
Christian Association.
30 on Committee
The Welfare Committee, which claims
a membership of over ^0 students, does not
draw on the funds rai.sed by the Annual
Chest Fund Drive (except for small appro-
priations for clerical work), bu,' depends
entirely upon the work and time put in by
its members.
Few students would deny the impor-
tance of such an organization, but fewer
still realize cither its importance or its
functions. Under the direction of Wil-
liam C. Schram '43, this group will work
in conjunction with town authorities and
the Williamstown Welfare Committee in
T scries of year-round projects.
'Old Clothes Drive'
Probably the most important of its
duties is the collecting of old clothes which
will, this year, be in the form of two or
more, probably three "Old Clothes
Drives". The first drive, which Schram
expects will include college-wide solici-
tation, is scheduled to begin within the
next several weeks.
Workers collected three car-loads of
clothes last year and about .seventy-five
pairs of shoes, one of the main objectives
each year. Material collecled in this way
is turned over to town welfare workers who
distribute it as they see fit.
Shut-ins To Be Aided
The secomi important function of the
organization is the visiting of those who,
because of old-age, non-contagious di-
seases or other reasons, are con lined to
their homes. This project, Schram points
out, has been greatly neglected in past
years. He plans to obtain names of local
shut-ins and to send representatives to
talk with them at intervals of about two
or three weeks.
Two years ago the Welfare Committee
canvasse<l the tow^n asking church pre-
ferences, whether or not indixiduals at-
tended and "if not, why not", and taking
constructive criticisms and suggestions for
the improvement of Williamstown church
facilities. The third main objective for
this year will be to extend that canvass to
South Williamstown.
Jesup Bombing; Student
Casualty Mark Air Raid
Williamslovvn's air defense saw vigorous
action Tuesday afternoon in its second
test against the attack of a very theoreti-
cal, very w.ished out 'enemy' Liiflwuffe.
The local defense unit went through its
paces in spite of the absence of the invad-
ing raiders, who had been forced back to
their bases by the weather man.
The air raid ;darm was sounded in the
mitklle of the afternoon by four sharp
blasts of the fire .siren and the ringing of
the chapel bells. .At the alarm signal the
("■ale Hose company dashed out in search
of an incendiary bomb which had been
rc|X)rted on campus. It was discovered
in Jesup Hall. Knotsof students gathered
on the lab campus in the pelting rain,
attracted by the clouds of smoke bilkivving
out of the gutted Sketch othce window.
Students on the scene cheered the
volunteer firemen and assisted them in
entangling and playing out their hoses.
In the absence of explosive bombs some
undergraduates brought along firecrackers
to add realism to the occasion. The incen-
diary bomb (which consisted of a pail of
ignited phosphorous and an electric fan)
was finally extinguished and the (jale Hose
company retired triumphantly from the
field.

A Breach of Tradition
There were his.ses in at least one house the other day when the follow-
ing Adviser announcement was reail: ".\11 interested in volunteering for
service in the .Vmerican Field Service in the Middle East are invited to
meet at \2Aa on Thursday in the Alumni Office in 12 Jesiip. Inforina-
tioii in regartl to the service which provides for draft deferment will be given
out at that time." The hisses were for the italicized words.
More than one imdcrgraduate, too, has voiced an objection to the
priority ratings given to men with draft numbers and seniors in the selec-
tion of students for the new course on machine tools. Not a few have
asked, "What makes a man who is about to be inducted into the armed
services of the nation more eligible for a course on machine tools than a
sophomore or a junior with a physical defect sure to keep him out of the
army?"
Those who hissed and those who objected, too, are ready to grant
that the American Field Service offers duties infinitely more dangerous
than any the American draftee is likely to perform any time .soon; and
they admit that America needs capable machinists far more than .she
needs a fresh batch of conscripts.
Wliat they objected to and what they hissed at, however, was being
offered o{)i)()rtunitics for service in l;erms of draft determent. Correctly,
they wondered what draft deferment had to do with being willing to
serve with the American Field Service. Rightly, they wondered why the
new machine tool course was not offered, specifically, to men whose
opportunities to serve in the nation's armed forces would be hindered by
physical defects.
There are serious justifications for maintaining that the A.F.S.
notice and the enrollment aspects of the new defense course are out of
line with a tradition of which Williams College, founded liy a man who
died in battle, has long been proud.
Freshman Caps — On or Off?
On last Wednesday, this mimeographed notice was posted in fresh-
man entries: "To all freshmen: You are reminded that you must wear
your freshman caps until Thanksgiving vacation — unless you win the
Amherst-fre.shman football game." The notice was signed: "By Order
of the Junior Advi.scrs."
Cyrus N. Morgan '42, Undergraduate Council president, was aware
la.st spring that "reminders" would not be successful sanctions of the U. C.
freshman cap rule. For this reason, he obtained the U. C.'s ])erniission
to delegate its authority for enforcing freshman laws to the Junior Ad-
vi.scrs. Alan (i. .Jame.s, adviser chairman, has found this fall, however,
that the J. .\.'s thciiLselves have no real coercive power to enforce fresh-
man laws. Con.seqiiently his committee has had to resort to the iin-
.successful "reminding" technique which the U. C. utilized a year ago.
The Junior Advisers' failure to enforce the cap rule has not resulted
from a lack of real effort on their part. Rather it has resulted from the
lack of support accorded them by a majority of upperclassmen and social
groups. This fall's experience clearly indicates that the freshman cap
rule can only be effective if the college as a whole gives complete support
to tho.se men who have the immediate ta.sk of enforcing the rule.
The present inability of the Junior Advisers to enforce the cap rule
is establishing a dangerous precedent. Every day freshmen are dis-
covering that they can openly flaunt the rules of the U. C. without fear
of uppercla.ss disapproval. Because this situation threatens the very basis
of competent student government, the freshman cap rule should cither be
stricken from the books, or the U. C. representatives should take im-
mediale steps to .see that their legislation is strictly enforced.
If each social group should instruct all its members to make certain
the freshman delegation is obeying the cap rule, then violators would be
faced by an overwhelming coalition of upperclass opinion and organized
policing.
The freshman caj) rule is not in itself of much importance. If
student opinion — as now indicated by the lack of support accorded the
Advisers — is opposed to enforcing the law, the U. C. could easily repeal
it. But today the law does .stand, and it is being violated at every turn.
FRATERNITIES
(Continued from page 1)
mtchanical end of tlie pr(il)leni. Tlie
(juestion is: arc tlicy really doing all tlicy
say, and, if so, why aren't the results
better?
"As long as there are so many extra-
curricular activities on the Williams cam-
pus, a certain nunilier of men arc going to
fall by the wayside regardless of what the
Dean ami the fraternity scholarship com-
mittees try to do. Are the men who are
most capable and most interested in help-
ing freshmen with their scholastic prob-
lems always placed on the fraternity scho-
larship committees? If not, more atten-
tion to this will probably attain better
results."
Joseph E. Johnson, associate pro-
fessor of history: Mr. Johnson thinks the
greatest fault of the fraternity scholastic
cotnmittees is their failure to contact pro-
fessors concerning the delinquencies of
their freshmen. "As soon as a house sees
a man in trouble, the scholastic committee
should make him contact his instructor
immediately," Mr. Johnson asserts. He
adds that not a single fraternity com-
mitteeman has ever spoken to him about
a freshman's scholastic difficulties.
Professor Johnson lauds the year-long
freshman programs which several houses
have added to their Hell Week as "ex-
tremely sensible."
Charles R. Keller, assislaiU professor
of history: Mr. Keller hopes the frater-
nities' scholastic pmnranis do not represent
a "campaign for respeclable grades," feel-
ing that Williams men should "shoot at
s(jinetliing higher than respeclability."
Professor Keller believes that informal
discussions with professors at informal
meals will help prevent a "campaign for
respeclability." He adds, "I don'l want
to sit at the head lalile when I go to a
house. It's too formal and unnatural. I
want Id sit in some insignilicanl place with
the boys I know."
Ill addition to the informal dinner date,
Mr. Keller feels fraternities could solve
their freshman scholarship problems if
lhe\' would "fasten on the man whom the\'
know is going to have scholastic diflicnlties
and consult with Tom Wood (director of
adnii.ssions) about the particular case and
ihe solutions to it." He advises upper-
classmen to see faculty members personally
about "slow" freshmen and not to contact
then by letter.
Mr. Keller approves of the man-to-nian
adviser .system in fraternities "as long as
the upperclassmaii assigned to a freshman
isn't a well-known loafer." He hopes the
fraternities will pick men of high scholastic
caliber for their scholarship committees —
"men who hold the respect of the entire
house."
Max Lerner, professor of political
science: Mr. Lerner has not \et had time
to read The Rkcoud report of the frater-
nities' scholarship programs. Mr. Lerner
promises The Re<ohd a letter "in the near
future" which will completely state his
views on Williams fraternities. In ex-
plaining why he did not wish to make a
brief comment for publication today, Mr.
Lerner said: "If a man wanted, he could
gel away with talking communism around
here. But when he talks against frater-
nities — I"
Luther S. Mansfield, assistant pro-
fessor of English: Mr. Mansfield notices
that .several fraternities each September
strongly urge their freshmen to participate
in competitions, "stressing the extra-
curricular phase of college life without con-
sidering its relation to the academic phase."
Professor Mansrield feels that the frater-
nities should first make their pledges
realize the importance of the college's
academic side, and should — early in
October — make sure that their freshmen
can do "at least passabK' well" in their
courses before stressing extra-curricular
activities.
Mr. Manslield says that "fraternity
loyalty" can do little to encourage scholar-
ship. He belie\'es the real value of scholar-
ship programs lies in their ability to con-
vince the pledges that upperclassmen are
genuineh' interested in how the freshmen
are progressing scholastically. If the
programs achieve this purpose, Mr. Man.s-
lield considers them more influential that
"anything a faculty member might do or
say."
Fraternity study halls are a good idea,
Professor Manslield asserts, as long as
ihey employ public opinion to regulate
attendance. Mr. Manslield is "skeptical
about any rigid enforcement of atten-
dance."
Richard A. Newhall, acting president:
" Ihe primary weakness of the fraternity
point of view towards scholarship is the
notion that a C is a 'gentleman's grade'."
Mr. Newhall warns fraternities that their
scholarship programs — "mere organiza-
tions" — will not be successful "unless
those organizations arc founded on a sin-
cere desire for education." An organized
program alone, Mr. Newhall feels, cannot
do the trick. "Education of any kind can
only be a success if individuals snap to it
because they sincerely want to." Acting
President Newhall does not consider organ-
ized study halls a solution to the fraternity
scholastic problem; "education goes on
inside an individual, and the desire to
know can't be forced into a man by frater-
nity laws or programs alone."
William G . . Perry, assistant to the
dean: "The fraternity scholarship pro-
grams form excellent means for assisting
the freshman to adjust his techniques of
study to the college situation. If such
programs in their insistence on grades
neglect the primary purposes of education,
they will fail even of their immediate ends.
There certainly should be in every college
some way of making common knowledge
of those techniques of study which stu-
dents have found effective. Perhaps the
fraternity scholastic programs help make
these techniques common knowledge.
"Since methods of study are a field
which has been my own particular interest,
I shall be glad at any time to assist indivi-
dual students or to discuss with their fra-
ternity advisers technical matters of study
which might supplement their more imme-
diate knowledge of particular courses."

CAN CATS SEE IN THE DARK?
Do CATS have eyes that can see in
the (iark? Not in lolal darkness,
Science says. But in comparative dark-
ness their pupils are capable of expand-
ing to huge size in order to utilize what
light there is.
Unlike the cat, man is a daytime animal.
Until a few generations ago, men rose
and retired vnth the sun, using their
eyes mostly for distant seeing of simple
olDJects. Even in the shade of a tree
in summer, your eyes have the benefit of
as much as a hundred

NO WONDER one out of

And no wonder
Science is doing
y^F'
something about
improving your lighting.
Easy to Start Today
Today, while we can't yet bring the sun
indoors, we can come closer to it than
ever before. We can start, in. your
home or in your office, store or factory,
by making a simple survey of your lamps
and fixtures with a light meter.
You'll be surprised and delighted by
the many new ingenious ways you can
get more light at low cost! Just
phone, and ask to have your
lighting measured. There's
no obligation whatever!

'III K Rkcohd has already reported that all Williams fraternities have set up
scholastic programs designed to aid their freshmen in effectively fulfilling thi
academic obligations. Today, Thomas J. Wood, director of admissions, reveals
that the scholarship committees created by these programs face a most serious and
difficult task — if the fraternity experiences with the class of 1944 offer any
indication of what may take place this ^semester,
Mr. Wood declares that last year's
J marks reveal the fraternities pledged only
1 57% of the mo.st intelligent fifth of the
I class of 1944, while at the same time they
I pledged 8.S% of the lowest scholastic fifth
I of that same class. The ratio of fraternity
linen to Garfield Club incmbcis is 70%-

Only Absence of Uniform Standards Mars
Idyllic Labor Conditions of Student Waiters
by S.\M HlNTKIl '44
The Williams proletariat of the platter, knife, an<l fork are neither ihiwii-troddeii,
nor exploited — despite the absence of (organization, colled i\'e bargaining jiowi'is,
or formal grievance — adjusting machinery. A recent Rkcohu survey levealeil,
in fact, that waiting on tables is the most lucrative form of student employment at
Williams.
Average Rate $1.14 +
The averagi' undergraduate waiter is a
member of the campus labor elite. He
works a \bh hour week, including the time
employed eating, anil a 3 l/S week month
for full board. His a\erage hourly wage
rate approximates $1.14 in terms of free
board. He serves nine persons at each
meal, and during the period when he is
actively employed, waits on three break-
fasts per week.
In spite of these generally high average
labor standards, the survey disclosed a
certain lack of uniformity in waiting
conditions among the various campus
social units.
There arc twenty-six waiters at the
Garfield Club, while the number of frater-
nity waiters varies from five to thirteen.
In the Garfield Club only two of the
twenty-six waiters are non-scholarship men
while in the average house from one-third
to one-half of the waiters do not hold
scholarships. In some houses there is
only one full-time waiter. In others there
arc as many as six. The number of per-
sons that the individual waiters, among
the various social organizations, serve
varies from seven to twelve.
Disorspanciaa Cited
The greatest discrepancy among the
campus social groups lies in wage and
hour standards. In one social unit a
waiter must wurk twenty-lwo hours per
week (this includes lime spent eating) and
four weeks out of every month to earn full
board. .'\l another social unit, where the
weekly charge for food is identical, a
waiter must work only fourteen hours per
wei'k and two and two-thirds weeks per
month for full board. Deducting time off
for eating, the hourh' wage rate in these
two ca.ses is found to \'ary between $.(iO
and $1.70. In another social gniup the
full-time waiters work fi\'e out of every
six weeks and fourteen hours per week but
are not credited with full board. Duly the
head waiter receives full board credit.
Subatitution Methods
Other divergences in campus waiting
practices are concerned with the number
of breakfasts each waiter must sei\e, the
methods of obtaining substitute waiters,
and the exemption of waiters from certain
dues and charges. In some fraternities
the student waiters serve seven breakfasts
per week; in others the house members
wait on themselves. The usual method
of obtaining substitutes is by making
arrangements with other waiters for ex-
changing meals. If this fails, the waiter
who desires a leave of absence must hireja
substitute, and the charge varies among
the social organizations from twenty-five

Mr. Wood's Statistics
'riii'iv is .soiiiciliiiif,' of a predicament in tlie .stati.stics Mr. Wood has
icveulod ill toiiitriir.s |)a|)er, and in the relHlion.ship' those .statistics bear
ti) the po.silidii of fiviivv and repo.se tliat Williams fraternities pos.sess on
llii.s eaiMpus.
Whatever the statistics prove about individual hou.scs, added to-
gether they indicate one .strilviiig fact — Williams fraternities don't care
imich aboiil a inan'.s .schola.stic interest and ability to do the job the
college has scl before him, until after he has been pledged.
They say — even more strikingly — that his chances of being pledged
are very much better if he is likely to flunk out than if he is likely to be a
Phi Bete.
And it will make little sense for fraternity men to toss away those
.statistics by .saying, "Well, it's the fault of the Office on Admissions and
not ours that all the bright boys are spooks."
For the very simple fact is that less than halt of the fraternities dur-
ing the recent rushing season bothered to find out what were the scho-
lastic prospects of 1945 from Mr. Wood — who is in the onZy position to
give this information reliably, accurately, and comparatively.
The very .simple fact is that only seven fraternities used Mr. Wood's
office to shai)e their delegations so that on pledge night they had no doubts
about the scholastic calibre of their freshmen.
What does all this lead to?
In one place, it ought to give a lot of people reason to wonder about
the position of ])rivilege which fraternities possess at Williams. It ought
to give a lot of people a good striking position against a system that leaves
scholarship outside the balance of factors that determine membership.
In another, it presents quite clearly evidence that over half of
Williams fraternities, by disregarding scholarship in pledging, give
sanction to the notion that scholastic interest and success are inimical to
fraternity life or a full college career. Intended or not, the fraternity that
refuses to uvigh scholarship in judging freshmen is at the same time dis-
regarding a basic aim of this college.
Let no one think that the only way out of this predicament — a system
of privilege within the college that serves also as a drag — is the abolition
of fraternities.
The solution lies in many directions, but first of all in the readiness of
Williams fraternity men to promoLe the idea that scholastic interest and
success are a part of fraternity life, and a part ot a full college career.
Williams friiternity men should stoj) pretending that they complement
the ])urposes of this college simply because they are not waging an overt
campaign again.st education. Fraternities will not be complementing
the piirpo.ses of Williams until they are waging a fight for .scholastic
interest and success. This fight is lieing waged now — by the f'-aternities
that do consider scholarship in pledging, by fraternities that seek to break
the harriers between faculty and student; by frdternities that ars supple-
menting their Hell Week with full-semester programs intended to center
the minds of freshmen on college and house problems. Unless other
fraternities, too, overcome the fallacy of equating inaction with .service,
the job these houses are doing may, nonetheless, end in the final destruc-
tion no fraternity wants.
CUT SYSTEM
(Continued from lage 1)
suiiK'stiT unclur the Limited Cut System
stiow that the average rati' of ctits per mail
per year course liasheeii reduced from 14.1
to 7.6, the ei|uivalent ol two and one half
weeks. Hdwever, of tho.se students sidj-
ject to this new regulation, il'/p among
sophomores and 40''o among juniors incur-
red the "[lo-cut" penalty at one time or
another. Twcnly-one students in the
tliree lower classes even cut while on "no-
cuts." "
Penalty Increstsed
Since this latter type of repeated over-
cutting showed little tendency to abate, it
was found necessary to increase the penal-
ty from an extension of the "no-cut" period
to inimediate probation. Under new
regulation, penalty for a primary offense
is "no-cuts" for two weeks or one month.
Cutting during; this period will result in
prohation, and if a student misses a class
while on "pro," he will be under consider-
ation for immediate ilismissal.
Since the primary purpose of these
penalties is to prevent the offense, official
notice was published throughout the
qollege. The Committee reported that
while it is too early to measure accurate
results, "it would appear that many
students even now feel little .sense of
responsibility toward the regulations."
'Foresight' Urged
The danger of expulsion is the most
serious aspect of the cutting rules bat the
Committee report showed that "students
shortsightedly sec only the inconvenience,
and neglect to take proper precautions
against 'accidental' cutting. As a result
they do li/)t understand — that they are
receiving a severe penalty Hot just for
'breaking the 'rliles' or 'one careless error'
but rather fm" a genei^ar I6ck of foresight
and responsibility."
"Thoughtful students would not expose
themselves by s(|uandering their cut
allowances, cutting con.secutively, or by
deliberately incurring the "no-cut" penal-
t\'. It is to be hoped that the students
will recognize the full nature of their re-
sponsibilitN' through snmeothernieansthan
that of watching some individual cause his
own dismissal through sheer thoughtless-
ness."
WAITERS
(Continued from page I)
to fifty cents per meal. At one social unit
a sy.stematic substitute waiting plan is put
into effect in the second .semester of every
year whereby each waiter gets at least one
day off per week.
Waiters and Dues
The practice of making special exemp-
tions for waiters in certain assessments
varies with the social organization. Some
fraternities have an annual $75 ceiling on
house charges that can be made against
waiters anti scholarship men. Other
social groups make no reductions whatso-
ever in dues and taxes for their waiters.
One campus social unit, on the other hand,
makes a flat fifty per cent reduction for its
waiters in all house charges.

FRATERNITIES
(Continued from pace 1)
VVilliams fraternities last year did not
consider scholarshi|> as pait of their
ciiteriuii forjudging freshmen. Mr. Wood
adds that this failme to consider scholar-
ship as a pledging policy has added fuel to
the present fraternity problem of low
scholarship.
Seven fraternities, several of them dis-
turbed over the small numlier of capable
scholais pledged last year, consulted with
Mr. Wood during Kreshman Week this
September about the scholastic promise
of men whom they were eoiLsidering for
membership. Mr. Wood gave those houses
his estimation of certain freshmen's
scholastic ability, and tried to analyze for
the seven fraternities the character and
scholastic sincerity of the men of 194.S in
whom they were interested, lie did not
in any way try to hurt the chances of any
freshmen for fraternity membership, but
did present to the houses the facts con-
cerning the freshmen's past records.
Mr. Wood is willing to discuss with any
fraternity representati\e the problems
which some of the men of 1945 may now
be facing, and hopes the fraternities will
make use of his ofiice "at any time, should
any serious question arise concerning the
scholarship of some of the present fresh-
men." Mr. Wood will be "glad to help
any fraternity next September who is
anxious to know the scholastic promise of
the members of 1946 beforcplcdgingthcm."
The director of admissions feels that
pre-pledging knowledge of freshman scho-
lastic ability may help many houses avoid
serious scholarship difficulties, but em-
phasizes that the services of his office
"will always be open to the fraternities,
but will never be forced upon them."
Mr. Wood asserts that the facts con-
cerning the class of 1944 raise two ques-
tions — "Did the fraternities last year
pledge men of low scholastic ability?" or
"Did the fraternity influence lower the
freshmen's desire to study after they had
been pledged?" Mr. Wood himself be-
lieves that the houses last year did not, in
general, harm freshman scholarshiprecords,
but that many fraternities did overlook
scholarship when they were pledging the
present sophomore class.
AMENDMENT
(Continued from page 1)
spoke for the ConferiMjce on Democratic
Processes, sponsored l)y Union College, to
be aired over station WG\' weekly from
Schenectady this year. In the 1940-41
series both Mr. Newhall and Professor
Paul Birdsall, also of the history depart-
ment, took jjart. The latter is scheduled
to follow Mr. Newhall w'ilh a talk .some-
time in January on the Amendment sub-
ject.
'Monitor' Reader Helps
The proposed amendment, now in the
form of a resolution, reached the House
by a very devious route. Though the
campaign began with the letter to the
Springfield Republican, it was really set in
motion by the acting president's letter to
the Christian Science Monitor, which not
only drew a great deal of favorable com-
ment, but prompted David Bigelow, of
Miami Beach, Kla., to write his representa-
tives in Congress on the subject.
Bigelow's letters, not only to the legis-
lators but to leading newspapers, resulted
in the plan's being drawn up into a reso-
lution by the honorable Pat Cannon of
Florida and presented to the House Judi-
ciary Committee.
'Amendments Take Time'
Although Mr. Newhall does believe that
"the state of public opinion is now ripe for
a consideration of this kind," he points out
that the number of proposed Constitu-
tional aiTiendments always by far exceeds
the number passed. If his amendment
doespass, it will be a niatter of years, not of
weeks or months, until the final ratification
of the amendment, Mr. Newhall asserted.
The proposed amendment to Article II,
Section 2 of the Constitution recommends
that;
"Section 1. The President shall have
power, by and with the advice and consent
of Congress, to make treaties provided a
majority of the Senators and Represent-
atives concur.
"Section 2. This article shall be in-
operative unless it shall have been ratified
as an amendment to the Constitution by
the legislatures of three-fourths of the
several States, as provided in the Consti-
tution, within seven years from the date of
the submission thereof to the States by
the Congress."

have a tough time stemming the Purple

Blood, Jeff Threat
Plucking the Amherst rose alwajs in-
volves 1,'etting thorns in the lingers, and
this year will be no exception. Dart-
mouth had little trouble subduing ihe
Sabrinas by a top-heavy .score, but Am-
herst bounced back to hand the Bowdoin
forces a 33-6 shellacking, showing im-
pressive form in every department. Bobby
Blood is again the spearhead of the l-ord
Jeff attack. His passing scored the lone
touchdown this Saturday as Amherst
nosed out Rochester 7-2.
The Bowdoin results would indicate
plenty of trouble, although the breaks
were all going the wrong way for the Polar
Bears. In an Amherst game anything can
happen. Keniember the Williams under-
dogs of 1940, flattening the Jeffs in a 16-8
"Stover at Yale" bombshell and cross your
lingers. We'll give a trembling vote for
the old Purple Cow.

Despite a great improvement in team-
work and sensational saves by goalie Norm
Lowell, Williams' soccer team went down
to its third straight defeat of the 1941
campaign on Cole F'ield, Saturday, when a
scrapp\' R. P. I. eleven oulbooled the
Purple by a 2-1 count.
Coach lid Bullock, in an elforl to throw
off the Williams lethargx' evident in the
Yale game a week before, started three
sophomores in the center of his forward'
line. Bill Brewer took over the inside left
position, while George Crandall, last year's
freshman captain, started at center for-
ward, and Bob Benson began at inside
right .
Torre Opens Scoring
After holding the Engineers scoreless in
the hrsl half, the Purple defense was linally
broken through by R. P. I.'s brilliant
Captain De la Torre early in the third
period en a shot from deep left which
bounced off the right goal post into the
Williams net.
Several minutes later Felix Teran, little
Mexican player, dribbled in close lo the
Williams goal and lured Lowell far enough
out of position to sink another shot for the
Fingineers and give them a 2-0 lead.
Purple Tallies in 4th
The Purple's lone score came in the
fourth period on a short shot by Bill
Brewer after a scrimmage in front of the
R. P. I. goal. The Engineers' goalie was
drawn out of position by the melee, and
Brewer had little trouble slipping the ball
past him.

the ball out of bounds on his own 26. In
just a jilTy Williams turned in a score,
when llerliie I lolden (lipped a LS-yard
pass to Al Ilearne for a touchdown. Fran
Dolan booted the extra point into the
score with a beautiful phieement s<|uare
bi'tween the uprights.
Despite ;i sa\'age Bowdoin defense,
Williams' afternoon uprising was not i|uite
finished, e\'en then. Twii niiiiuti-s later
Bill Schmidt picked up a stray Bowdoin
aerial on his own 48. • The Holden-to-
liearne combination was good for 14,
Marsh Ilannock provided :iiiother 12, and
then i lolden himself took up the burden
with a lightning 20-yard ilash across the
final stripe.
If the Lady who smiled so sweellj'
during the second period had kept up her
goodwill, the Purple might have had at
least another touihdown and perhaps two.
As it was 1 lolden did rip oil a 58-yaril jaunt
into pay dirt in the final tiuarter, after
taking a lateral from Courier, who had
intercepted a Polar Bear pass. But the
165-pound senior stepped just out of
bounds on the liowdoin 30, and at that
point the home offense bogged.
In the last minute Williams recovered a
fumble on the Bowdoin 15 and in three
plays drove to the 6-inch line, but before
another play, time ran out.
WITH THE WATER BOY
Just before the Bowdoin team left
Spring Street to go to Weston F'ieltl, Coach
Adam Walsh hopped out of the bus to
greet former Captain Jack Daly with
"Hey, you big Irishman."
* « * *
In 1925 Walsh was captain and center
of the Notre Dame team famous for the
"Four Horsemen and the Seven Mules."

Buck O'Neill, captain of Williams forty
years ago and later a coach at Williams,
Colgate, Syracuse and Columbia, was in
the stands to watch Williams play.

players for the public address system.

Freshman Eleven Loses
Opener to Norwich, 7-6
Booters Score 3 Late
Goals in R. P. I. Defeat
Two freshman teams split their contests
on Cole Field, Saturday, when the Norwich
first-year men eked out a 7-6 win over
Coach Whoops Snively's eleven, and Coach
Clarence Chaffee's booters copped a 3-0
verdict from the K.P.I, yearlings.
Outweighed almost ten pounds to the
man, the eleven found difficulty in getting
its attack under way. The first score
came early in the game when a Norwich
linesman liroke through, and after block-
ing a Carl Oulier punt, ran it thirt\- yards
for a touchdown. The Snivelymen linally
came to life in the final stanza, and tallied
on a pass, Bob Plunkett to John Brown.
However, the attempt for the extra point
was thwarted b>- the Vermonters, giving
them the decision. Meanwhile, the third
yearling eleven defeated Albany Academy
6-0, by virtue of a thirty-yard touchdown
run by Russ Tucker.
Stalled for three periods in their at-
tempts to score, the soccermen finally
chalked up three (|uick goals in the final
canto for their first victory of the season.
Larry Smith's tally was the first to break
the ice and it was soon followed b\- count-
ers by Bill Eyre and Beanj' Kingsbury.

Intercollegiate Debate
At Williams This Year
HiKlilinlninn an active year for the
Adclphic I'niuii, the New England Inter-
collegiate HebatiiiK 'r<)uriiaiiient will be
held in VVilliainstown next March. This
announcement, alonj; with a schedule of
debates set for the coniinj; season, came as
an aftermath of the lirst meeting of the
entire club with its new coach, Robert S.
Young, formerl>' of Harvard.
Since the Williams debaters won the
Intercollegiate Tournanient last year, they
will act as hosts to the contesting teams
this year. At present, eighteen teams are
expected to accept the invitation.
As the result of tryouts held last Thurs-
day afternoon, Jay L. Nierenberg '42,
president of the Adelphic Union, and
Thomas S. Walsh '44 will go to Harvard
for a radio forum on the subject of govern-
ment ownership and operation of the
telephone and telegraph systems. This
is the first engagement of a schedule that
will include Yale, Princeton, Vassar, Mt.
Holyolce, Union, Middlebury, Trinity, and
Harvard Colleges, as well as several other
single debates still indefniite.
Over Wesleyan weekend, a team of four
sophomores accompanied by Mr. Young
will go to Hanover to participate in the
Dartmouth Sophomore warm-ups. They
will discuss the large debating topic of the
year, government regulation of labor
unions. Tryouts for this trip will be held
next Thursday afternoon in Griffin Hall.
At the same time there will be open
tryouts for any students interested in de-
bating not already members of the Union.
The freshmen, however, will not be tested
until after Thanksgiving in accordance
with an extra-curricular rule. After that
time, they will be under the guidance of
Mr. Young who will also be in charge of
Freshman Public .Speaking.
Hunt Defeats Lamed
In Rockwood Tourney
Runner-up in 1940, Hunt
Takes Cup, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3
.Sophomore tennis star Tod Hunt, play-
ing a steady, aggressive game which kept
his opponent away from the net, defeated
Jack Larned yesterday afternoon, 6-2, 6-3,
6-3, in the linals of the Rockwood Cup
Tournament fon the Williams College
championship.
Hunt, runner-up last year and seeded
number one, played his best match of the
tourne\' as he held the more experienced
varsity captain to two games in the hrst
set and three in the second and third.
Hunt displayed a variety of drives, over-
hand smashes and lob shots which kept
Larned deep in the court throughout the
entire match.
Hunt, who had previously taken a lirst
round bye, trounced Tom Hoover, 6-1, 6-1,
defeated classmate George Stanley 6-1,
6-4, and eliminated Art Holt, 6-3, 6-2, in
the succeeding brackets. Hunt rolled over
Bob Hendrie, 6-2, 8-6, but found difficulty
in taking freshman Dick Hole, number six
in the draw, 2-6, 6-0, 6-2.
Larned, second-seeded entrant, had
advanced into the final rounds by virtue
of a 6-1, 6-1 triumph over Johnnie Finken-
staedt, a default by Ed Engle, a 6-0, 6-0
whitewash over Wolcott Humphrey, and a
6-3, 6-2 win over Stu Wilson in the fourth
round. Freshman Bod Edwards extended
him to three sets, but lost, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, and
Larned went on to top Dude Hemphill in
the semi-linals, 6-2, 9-7.
Wms. Funny Mag Out;
Chock Full of Laffs
Still ostensibly alive, the funny Purple
Cow hit local newsstands last weekend with
what the editors laffingly described to a
Record interviewer as "the hottest
damn group of jokes we've seen yet,
wow!"
Riddled with academic injuries, the
local funsheet has staggeied to press at
last with a "cover" by Lon Hill, "cartoons"
by Hill, Jim Crawford, and Sam Hunter,
and "literary stuff" by Charlie Shea and
Bill Morrissey, as well as "others".
With editor-in-chief Ely "on probation"
and businessboardmen Ward and Dickin-
son "no longer in college," the "Cow" will
send up a desperate shout for freshman
"talent" after first warnings are issued.

Sanford B. Head, Jr. '42, who will be
inducted into the arm>' soon, resigned last
week as president of Cap & Bells. Paul
Murray '42, vice president, will succeed
Head as leader of the society now pro-
ducing Much Ado About Nothing.
Fulfilling a bet, J. C. Laflin, Princeton's
premier Dodger rooter, had to cat his'jhat
because the Yankee's came out on top.
Having coated the straw fedora
with butter and Cheddar cheese he
munched it down to the last sliver. "It
doesn't swallow \'ery well" was his only
comment.
A plea for human guinea pigs to be
used as experimental subjects for the
psychology department at Tufts was
issued by the adminstration of that college
last week. Only requirement was that
the students applying for this forty cents
an hour job have normal eye sight.
Try a couple of packs. We feel sure
you'll be coming back for more . . . because
Chesterfield's right combination of the
world's leading cigarette tobaccos makes
them so much Mlder, Cooler and Seffer-
Tasting that more smokers are turning to
them every day.
Ybs, the approval of smokers is the big thing that's
pushing Chesterfield ahead all over the country.

In a warning to Harvard undergraduates
William liinghani, president of that uni-
ersity's athletic association, staled that
professional pickpockets st.irted the
toal post light after the Dartmouth game
pit that they could lilcli the wallets and
iitches of students more easily. He
j-eporled that .Saturda\'s sleiglrt-of-hand
laul gave further evidence of this fact.
Speaking at |)arlnH>ulh this week, Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt slated that she be-
lieved a plain liberal arts college ccmrse
Ihould not give a student exemption from
Ihe draft. She also voiced her disapproval
\{ sludenl.s' delilierately avoiding service
taking a few specialized courses, saying,
hf local draft boards exempt coUi'ge men
lliat way, it creates a privileged class."
Harvard's student council has formed
I sub-committee to investigate all firms on
llarvard S(|uare accused (if "unfair busi-
Bess practices". The comniitt<'e will hear
lomplnints as registered by students and
lollow-up with an investigation. The
loercive means of opening the books of the
liiore stuliborn merchants accused of
charging high prices will probably be a
printed pamphlet containing the charges.
The Fraternity Series
Below, ill udjoiniiiK coluimi.s, Tiik Riocoitu reviews the purposes,
criticisms, and imipo.sals which its scries of articles onWilliains fraternities
have presented to the cuinpus since October 6.
Th? fraternity .scies has been attiicked From many undergraduate
quarters as "whiney," "destructive," unwarranted, absolutely u.seless,
and as "a stupid crusade again.st a non-existent evil." There have been
tmdcrgraduate charges that the coUcf^e newspaper has no right to discuss
".such a traditional, hallowed, iier.sonal matter as fraternities." There
have been worried queries ahout the advisihility of Tiii': Recokd's "at-
tacking the very social structure of Williams itself."
Read the l)rief .summary of the fraternity series below. Reconsider
the articles' ])urposes and the articles' messages. Then, if you find val-
idity or mis-statement or nonsense, if you find constructive sugge-stions
which your fraternity may consider adopting or if you find i<leas or pro-
grams which your fraternity has already found useless, write The Rfx'oud
so the views of yourself or your fraternity may be represented through the
medium of the college ])aper.
The fraternity series consider sul)jects of vital concern to every
Williams undergraduate. One group's viewpoint has been expressed in
these colunms for the past three weeks. Tiik RECoitn needs the opinions
of all campus groujjs on these proljlems.
Are Williams men basically uninterested in scholar.shii)? Are the
fraternity scholar.shij) programs "pious sops" to please alumni? Do the
fraternities owe the college any .service other than a social one? Is Hell
Week adequate jircparation for fraternity membership? Should scholar-
.ship mean anything to rushing committees, to fraternity members?
These are cpicstions that deserve more than imdergraduate scorn.
They deserve in some cases action, in all cases serious thought. They
deserve more than the one letter on the subject which The Record has
received since the scries began. Beginning in the next issue. The Recokd
will print every letter it receives on this subject.
Letters to Editors
'I'd llielidilor o/Tiik Kecdim):
In response to your retjuest for a sum-
mar.\- of the views we expressed on Mon-
day night's program over WMS, we pre-
sent here our reasons for disagreeing with
you on the role fraternities shouhl play, in
a strictly educational sense, at Williams.
1. We do not feel that fraternities are
called upon to justify themselves in a
.strictly educational sense. By this, we
mean that you must first prove thai fra-
ternities are acting as a drag on the Wil-
liams education, th<'reby counteracting
the valuable contributions they make, both
socially and in providing badly-needed
i-ating and living facililii's, beff)re you can
condemn them for not justifying their
privileged position. T. J. Wood, Director
of Admissions, is reported in the latest
Rkcohi) to have said that fraternities do
n(Jt act as a drag, while you have not even
made the charge, which must be the basis
of your position.
Sops to Alumni
2. In our opinion, fraternity programs
to raise scholarship constitute pious sops
to alumni. Our experience confirms our
belief that, except in isolated cases, scho-
larship programs in general do no good and
can be harmful. Sitting a freshman down

"The fraternities of Williams College,

"It is because Williams fraternities have
failed miserably in a task that is within
their ability — getting the best out of
Williams — that the story on page one has
been written."
— Edilorial. October 6
" TuK RKcoiin'.s purpose in printing the
fraternity series is not to preach or attack.
Its purpose is simply to present to the

information on possible methods of making
fraternit\- life more responsive to the
educational i5Urpose of the college, and
more valuable to every man who joins a
fraternity."
— Edilorial, October 13
"Last week TuK Recdrh reported the
programs now used by two fraternities to
prepare their freshmen for fraternity

Official 'Hamp Guardian of Virtue Reveals
Low Down on What Goes on After Dark
When the Saturday night tralTic jam before the 12:00 p. in. dead line is over,
Ihen un-understanding housemothers have shoved romcos out the door, and
Jhen the last college lover has gunned his way out of the new Quadrangle at Smith,
Jiat's when Sam of Northampton's police force officially inspects the edifice and all
|s surrounding shrubbery to make sure that 750 bits of pulchritude are safe from
ny evil minded males who might be lurking in the bushes.
It isn't that Sam himself was a dis-
ppointment in this view of Smith after
[lidnight The fact is that the lack
action after dark is a result of the
hstitution itself. Officer Sam hasn't even
Ben a girl sneak in a room at night. He
■aims the housemothers keep too close a
peck. Never to his knowledge has a band
drunks even attempted to break into
hat fortress of beauty, nor has Sam ever
Jitnessed an elopement or seen a stu-
Entess sneak down a rope. The fact is
hat there are no ropes in the unromantic
iiildings. There are fire escapes, yes,
ut the doors leading to them set off an
Utomatic alarm upon being opened.
When questioned about having trouble
|ith the more raucous romeos Sam said,
even odt of eight of the girls go for a
guy with a big car, but when he drives
across the Quad lawn or runs over the
shrubbery it's a different story." Since
the girls are responsible for whatever their
dates do, things stay pretty much in line.
If the situation ever gets out of hand Sam
simply bars all cars from the Quad for a
few nights.
Smith's own patrolman hasn't taken a
boy to the city jail yet. Instead he puts
them into his car and heads for Hamp
under the pretenses of driving to the
hoosegow. This usually snaps the offen-
der "out of it". After this he deposits the
boy at a hotel whose management is
always free to phone Sam if it doesn't
appreciate the "forced bid". They've
never phoned back yet.

CRITICISMS
"There is a wide difference in attitude
between the national president of one of
Williams' fraternities who reported to
Thr :;».i>,r,D v.ill, ..utir.fr.jlicn thir, sum
nicr that the undergraduate members of
liis bouse 'work their heads off to see that
the boss have respectable marks' — there
is a wide difference between that attitude
and the attitude of this college which
expects, and rightfully, something better
than respectability in scholarship."
— Editorial, October 6
"There are many who will argue that
the fraternities' purpose is purely social.
If this is true — and we hope that it is not
— then it is paradoxical that organizations
which act as a drag on education should
retain a position of privilege in an insti-
tution which has as its avowed purpose
the giving of the best possible education."
—Quoted from William 11. Curliss
'40, Oclolier 6
"Williams fraternity men have always
fell that it is a privilege to be a fraternity
man. Thej' have always felt that fresh-
men should realize initiation night means
nmch more than a long-awaited jaunt to
the goat room.... It is impossible to be-
lieve that. . threats of branding, twenty-
mile hikes on wintry nights, parading w'ith
guns before the gym . . . have ever con-
vinced a single freshman that he was about
to share in a great privilege."
— Editorial, Octolier 10
"On the average, over a period of years,
I don't think the fraternity authorities
have displayed much interest in the prob-
lem of education."
—Paul Birdsall, Oclolter 17
"A Barrel stave and four days cannot
possibly teach a freshman the manj' things
he could learn from constant exposure to
the right atmosphere," according to Pro-
fessor John H. Roberts, who added that
the year-long freshman progrants which
several houses have now added to their
Hell Week will help provide "the right
atmosphere."
—Page l,Octoi)er 17
"Williams fraternities don't care much
about a man's scholastic interest and
ability to do the job the college has set
before him until after he has been pledged
....Over half of Williams fraternities,
by disregarding scholarship in pledging,
give sanction to the notion that scholastic
interest and success are inimical to frater-
nity life or to a full college career. In-
tended or not, the fraternity that refuses
to weigh scholarship is at the same time
disregarding a basic aim of this college."
—Editorial, October 20
PROPOSALS
"This story makes a constructive pro-
posal based on the experiences of Sigma
Phi and Phi Gamma Delta, that Williams
fiatc'rnifie:: adopt an ir.itiation program
C(jn.sciously designed to prepare freshmen
for fraternity mendiership." A construc-
tive fre.shman program, beginning in .Sep-

OH, YOU MILITANT GODLY!
'J'o the Eilitors of the Amherst Student
Dear Sirs:
We noticed with interest an editorial in your Octoher 16 issue.
Remember? It took the form of a letter to the editors of Time, attacking
that magazine for claiming that "American college students have piled on
the interventionist toboggan," as you put it. You refute the Tihic
assertion by .screaming that students don't want war, that polls and editor-
ials don't prove anything, and that even if American undergraduates do
give the interventionist thesis their O.K., they don't really mean it.
Y''ou say that although students will "agree" with an opinion, "a
distinction must be drawn between acquiescence, the jiassive form of
oi)inion, and conviction, which alone can lead to willing action." In
other words, America may go to war, but her best (or at least most
fortunate) youth won't really have the heart to back her up. O.K.
You elaborate on this to the effect that "American college .students
might go to war for the -strange alliance of England and Russia. But
they must not be expected to think themselves in a crusade when they
fight shoulder with the League of the JNIilitant Goilless. They must not
be expe cted to derive inspiration from the delusive leadership of our
President . . . nor from the oracular talk of small and ambitions men eKse-
where. Nor must they be expected to go into lialtles with a hero yell of
"Save our foreign markets!"
You don't mind if we carry the quotation a little bit farther, do you?
We don't want to make you dig in your files. Anyway, you conclude
as follows: "Editorials and polls. Time, are no measures of real .sentiment.
No doulit we shall consent to go to war, if only to dodge the white feather.
But we will have little faith in it, and faith is what makes resolute and
ruthless soldiers."
Now just a minute. We, at Williams, think that America .should go to
war. Wo have thought so for almost a year. You say polls mean noth-
ing, so we won't cite you any of the jiolls which prove that we think this
way; but if you had been up here last Spring, you would have been forced
to admit that here, at least, was a pa.ssionate majority belief in our im-
perative duty to battle Ilitleri.sni. We siill have this passionate belief,
though a recent poll indicates that our faith wanes as America's cowardly
indeci.sion continues. Williams, of cour.se, is too good to lie typical.
Right?
We don't believe in fighting for "the Militant Godless," or for Eng-
land either. Some of us believe that we must fight simply to save our
skins. Some, we hojie mo.st of us, believe that we must fight because our
.sy.stem and Hitler's cannot both live, because we have a ".sacred duty"
(a phrase you no doubt loathe) to fight in defense of the concept we live
by. We grant th<it our .system is full of flaws; but it is at least a .system
which admits of tolerance and decency and, in the long run, of the right
of peaceful change. You won't find anything like that in Ilitlerism.
Just one more thing. You say that even if America does go to war,
American college men won't put much faith behind the struggle, will offer
a "token battle" in other words. Consider, friend. This means that if
America goes to war you and the rest of us won't .sec that we have a .stake
in the battle's outcome. But you must realize that if we go to war, we
must win or lose. There is no other alternative. If we lose, we and our
way of life peri.sh.
No, Student. If we do go to war, you as well as we must put all wc
have and are into the fight. Wc mu.st fight with jiassionate conviction,
with passionate concern for our own survival. If we fight with this
passion, and win, we win the earth and immortality. If we fight with no
real conviction, we lose. If you are right in saying that we will pqt no
faith behind the struggle, then we and you are lost.
Think it over, Student, before you take your next crack at the Militant
Ungodly The Militant Ungodly are at least fighting, fighting with
passionate conviction, and whether they want to or not they are fighting
our battle. Are we too faithless to fight, with as much conviction as the
Militant Ungodly, for the way of life we love?
Yours with militant godliness.

4. ll is po.ssible to ai'nue that, if (rater-
nilies would consider scholastic ability in
choosini; their freshmen, a blotter study
atmosphere might be created. That is
probably Irue. The difficulty is that fra-
ternities, being neither prayer meetings
nor missionary societies, do not work that
way. In general, a house picks its men lo
lit in with the rest of the men in the house.
If the house as a whole is strongly iiileresl-
ed in the scholastic side of college, il will
naturally investigate the scholastic back-
giiiimil of the freshmen, not because such
an investigation has intrinsic [iierit, bul
because it wants men who will lit in. II
the house as a whole is less interested in ihi'
.scholastic side of college, il will pay little
or no attention to scholastic background
unless driven to it by linancial coiisidei-
ations. And, as we have already .shown,
the attitude of ahouse depends on the
attitudes of its members, which means
the attitudes of the men ccjming to Wil-
liams.
Fraternities Not Perfect
We feel ihat fraternities are far from
being a perfect institution. We also feel
that The Recohd Williams College, the
.State of Massachusetts, and the I'niled
.States of America are far from being per-
fect institutions. They are human insti-
tutions and, as such, should be judged in
the light of human failings and .short-
comings. That does not mean that we
shouldn't do what we can to improve them.
Kul improving them doesn't mean pursu-
ing prolitles,s lines of intiuirv', as we believe
you are doing in this in.slance. In our
opinion, you are barking rather loudly up
what is deliniteh' the wrong tree.
We would like to add that the opinions
presented here are our own and do not
necessarily represent those of the membeis
of our fraternities.

want to study, than if he were at the

ability is that it will merely confirm him
in his dislike of studying. Programs of
individual aid by upperclassmen to fresh-
men fall down because the upperclassmen
lack the necessary qualifications. In the
first place, it takes some time to render
eifective aid, and the average junior or
senior either will not or cannot spare the

lacks the teaching gift to work irreparable
harm in the belief that he is helping an

"Leas Party and More Study"
i. The creation of a fraternity atmos-
phere conducive to study has considerable
merit. There is no question about the
desirability of cutting down on the so-
called party atmosphere. But the head of
a house cannot simply say, "All right,
fellows. Less party and more study," and
1. In the editorials of October b and
20, Messrs. Whidden and Tully will find
direct references to Williams fraternities
as a "drag" on the educational process.
If they will read all editorials on the fra-
ternity subject carefully, they will find out
w'hy TiiK Recoud considers Williams
fraternities a drag.
2. Fraternity scholarship programs
need not aim otdy at raising scholarship.
In one house that uses a scholarship pm-
gram there are two freshmen, right now,
who are gelling help from upperclassmen
because they want it; these are not isolated
cases, l)ecause the s\'slem in (|uestion is
aimed at just that kind of help. Messrs.
Whidden and Tully make the mistake of
concluding, from instances in which scho-
larship programs have failed, that those'
programs in spite of the right kind of fra-
ternity atmosphere could not work.
.^. We cannot change the type — but
that is no excuse for fraternity leaders, like
Messrs. Whidden and Tully, to ignore a
problem they admit exists, or lo fail lo
exert all their elTorts to get the kind of
atmosphere they really want.
4. And as anyone would have a good
reason for saying, "If the hou.se as a whole
is less interested in the scholastic side of
college," then this is definite evidence of a
fraternity dragging cm the college. As
for profitless lines of inquiry, on reieading
the purposes, criticisms, and propo.sals of
these articles as they appear on the front
page of tonight's paper, we are convinced
that there is profit there for anyone who
wants to do something about improving
Williams fraternities.

tpiered comitries, in fact there were nian>'
active sympathizers to the (lerman cause
on the faculty at that time, "an uidieaid-of
thing ill I'Ml." "We cannot really com-
pare wliere we are now with the situation
before April I'M? because at that time the
college and students had not been called
on to <lo anything," stated I'rof. Smith.
"Il()we\'er, just as soon as war was de-
clared, things began to happen," stated
Prof. Smith iji outlining the situation here
(luring the conflict. The country tried to
do three things: ship materials to lingland
and France, build as many ships as
possible, iuid organize a large expeditionary
force. The colleges were used primarily
as reservoirs for officers for this expedition-
ary force.
Students Dig Trenches
"In the autunni of 1918, the college
was made over into a Student Olhcer's
Training Camp," states Mr. Smith, "the
students dug trenches, marched from one
class to another, were taught map-read-
ing, surveying, military science, and
other appropriate courses. However,"
dcclare<l Prof. Smith, "this was merely
superficial instructioEi, the most im|)ortant
thiiin was the physical drill and orientation
to army routine."
To illustrate the extent to which the
college was turned over to the S.A.T.C.
the fact remains that only 31 students
were enrolled in the college itself in the fall
of 17 as compared with .377 in the S.A.T.C.
Also during this period the curriculum was
changed three times in four weeks. "We
started olT with the college curriculum,"
declared Prof. Smith, "then the State
ordered a change which in turn was super-
ceded by another order from the Federal
Ciovernment."
briefly describing the swift reaction in
the college to the signing of the armistice
in November, l')18, Professor Smith said,
"The college jumped at once from war to
post-war era, it happened almost over-
night." "The college reformed and the
period from January to June, V)V) was
countetl as an entire college \ear, war
degrees were granted to students having
completed only three years of academic
work, and the return of men in 1919-20
created the unusual situation of having
six organized classes attending college at
the same time."
Tlie complete re\olution in methods of

"old traditional methods were used, now
the men go behind the tanks, artillery and
planes — tlien, the infantry was often
unsupported in any way."
Student Effort Vital
However, Professor Smith asserts that
there are at least two fields in which the
student can profitably direct his efforts at
present; the field of morale and that of the
pursuit of technical knowledge and skill.
In speaking of moralenow, Prof.Smithsaid,
"we should supply the men with direct
views of what the country is involved in.
Wheeler might call it propaganda. It is
propaganda — l)ut necessary." Professor
Smith went on to emphatically state,
"As things are now, we need no expedition-
ary foice, it is muah more important to
have technicians. The college is not
needed for infantry, the college is needed
as an arsenal of technically trained men."
Professor Smith concluded by saying
that "what the country needs is men
trained in meteorology, physics, chemistry,
radio and similar sciences. To illustrate
this need, I know of cases wheretheUnited
States Army has gone so far as to ask for a
list of those men who were candidates
for Masters degrees in physics and failed
to make the grade."

Cross - Country Team
To Oppose Vermont
Led by Captain Hob Griggs, the Wil-
liams cross-country team will be out to
avenge last je.ir's difeat when it meets a
sirong Vermont s{|uad at Burlington to-
morrow. Last year the Wildcats upset
the Purple harriers tm the honu' course,
setting a lU'W Williaius College record.
Eight men, Griggs, Brew Chapman,
Ken Moore, Dave Brown, Art Richmond,
Ed Shefiield, Hack Neilson, and Maurice
Goodbody, left Willianistown today. Coach
Tony Plansk\' will bank on Griggs, Chap-
man, Moore and Brown, the cjuartet that
eked out a 27-28 victory over Middlcbury
in the season's opener, and hopes to pull a
surprise with one of his other starters.
Vermont's hope to make it two straight
over the Ephnien will rest in the Webster
twins, Charlie and Fred, Bud Hoyt, Mart
McLaren and Merle Cown.

In fifteen games since 1885, Williams has
won eleven lost three antl tietl one with
Tufts. Since the start of the "modern
series" in 1933, Williams has won live,
lost two and tied one. Last year the Eph-

Glee Club Revives Old
Musical Comedy Hits
Featuring Wanen G. Ilunkc '42 and
Geoige D. Lawrence '43, The Williams
Glee Club will inaugurate the first of the
Musical Comedy Recital Scries" featuiing
the works of Jerome Kern, Sunday even-
ing at 8:1. S in the studio auditorium in the
A.M.T. This rccitnl, the first in a pro-
posed series of five, will have Miss Joan
Stokes of Bennington College and Lawr-
ence C. Smith '45 as vocal soloists.
Hunke expressed the hope that these
revivals of musical comedy hits of past
years would appeal to the student body
to such an extent that they might continue
through the winter. Assistant Professor
Roy Lamson, Jr., clarinetist, and the Glee
Club Octet will also appear an later pro-
grams. Tickets for the first recital are
being sold in advance by the Glee Club
for twenty-five cents.
Cole Porter will be the subject of the
second recital on November 9, and Hunke
announced that Porter himself was being
consulted about the program. On the
thirtieth of November, Rogers and Hart
will be taken up along with Artjuir
Schwartz, author of "Dancing in the
Dark" and "I Love Louisa".
The fourth recital on December 12 will
feature songs by the well-known composers
George Gershwin and Irving Berlin, while
the final program on December 18 will be
made up of musical comedy music written
by Williams students.
Art Museum Trades
Assyrian Bas - Reliefs
The permanent collections of the
Lawrence Art Museum have been greatly
enriched by a large number of purchases
and gifts. Of major importance ;ire fifteen
works of art which were acquired in ex-
change for one of three fine Assyiian bas-
reliefs in the Museum's possession. The
disposal of duplicate material in this
manner enabled the Museum to fill gaps
in the collections with original works of
art, which it could scarcely have hoped to
acquire.
The new acquisitions which have been
placed on special exhibition, and will be on
view through October 30, «ere obtained
from the Brummci and Buchholz galleries
in New York, and through the generosity
and interest of alumni and friends of the
college who made a number of gifts.
2 Egyptian Bronzes
The Assyrian bas-relijf, discovered at
Nineveh by Sir Henry Layaid — given to
a Williams graduate by him and then to
the Museum — was exchanged with the
Brummer Galleries for works of art which
are of an intimate character, and can be
studied and handled for practical teach-
ing purposes. Outstanding among these
are two Egyptian bronzes of the Saite
period, one the head of a cat and the other
of an Ibis, and a carved Romanesque
capital in compact limestone in remark-
able preservation, dating froin the twelfth
century. Money obtained in the ex-
change enabled the Museum to purchase a
beautiful statuette of Leda by Maillol,
considered one of the artist's finest works.
Also of interest is an exhibition of paint-
ings by Lojis Tavelli, a talented Williams-
town painter who has studied on his own
and under the direction of a well-known
artist in Colorado Springs and has es-
tablished his studio here.
Stiffest Competition
For Eph Yachtsmen
At M.I. T. and Brown
Saturday morning the forces of the
Williams \'acht Club embark for a week-
end of sailing in tlu' Boston area for the
biggest assignmeiU of the fall season. The
annual Fall bivitatiim Intercollegiate
Dinghy Regatta to l)e held at Brown
University will come tomorrow, while, with
twenty-live to thirty other leading college
crews, the sailors will coiupete for the new
Scliell TrophN' at MIT on Sunday.
Skippers, Romeyn Everdell '42andJohn
Fuller '43, with their respective crews of
Henry Strong '45 and Elliot Payson '44,
will be attenrpting <in Sunday to upset a
favored MIT, Dartmouth combine and
regain the title which Williams captured
two seasons ago. The new Schi'll Trophy
replaces the famed Boston Dingh>- Cup,
which has been withdrawn frimi the fall
competition, antl represeirts the biggest
fall regatta to be held on the Atlantic
Coast. Teams from most of the large
eastern and mitldle-western colleges will
race. The elimination round will come
on Sunday morning and linals in the after-
noon.
'40- '41 Sailors Erratic
The Williams team of last year definitely
tended toward the erratic side with the
high spot of the season coming at the re-
gatta with the Coast Guard, vvhenaslrong
team from Dartmcjuth found the Purple
squad a tough nut to crack and just man-
aged to eke out a one-point victory. This
season the Williams crews, seasoned b\'
two previous fall engagements, will hnd
themselves among the cream of college
competition when they set out to avenge
last year's set-back.

Library
All Day
Saves Money
I ollowing the practice of certain small
iwns in Maine, which burn their street-
Piijlils all day to save the expenses of shut-
ting them off, the Williams College
p.ibrary will henceforth keep the forty-
'wo fluorescent lamps in the stack tiers
piurning during the hours the stacks are ir
«', The phenomena of fixtures aglow
broad daylight last week evoked vari-
"iis explanations, ranging from an affec-
Jlionatc "She's ovcrchBrging!" to a sug-
kestion that the library might be pursuing
P subtle lamp-in-thc-window policy to
►haw the pa.ssing crowd.
A more relevant explanation was offered
|l)y the College Electrician, Mr. Herbert
^Prague. It was discovered recently that
Mic constant turning on and off of the
fluorescent lamps was materially shorten-
p "K their lives, a serious situation in view
of the expense involved in replacement,
and of possible defense shortages. Steady
liurning, with the exception of the night
ijiuura, was the solution hit upon. The
fncrease in current consumption will be
balanced against the saving in wear when
f he bills come in this month'.
Favor Declaration of War on Axis Powers
Williairs Is still s'tting the pace in collegiate interventionist circles,
I'orty-three per cent or 270 of the 62.S undergraduates who voted in the recent
l<i';<oiin war poll favored an inmiediate declaration of war on Nazidermany as the
most effective coursi- of action for the United States to pursue in the present
crisis, Twenty-s;'ven per cent \dted that a repeal of the neutrality act to allow
Americui ships to enter combat zones constituted the must favor ible line of
American foreign policy. Another 27 per cent favored a continuation of the {'urrent
l.end-lcasL' program with extension of unlimited credit to nations resisting axis
aggressian. Only 3 per cent Isolationist
' A meagre .3 per cent in<licated their
support of an isolationist policy for Anter-
ica with restricted Lend-lease shipments
to Hritain and the abandonment of Ihe
naval patrol system,
.Similar mid-October polls at Harvard,
Princeton, and Dartmouth hii\'e re\ealed
a much more gradual swing iway from
their 1040 brand of Ostrich isolationism.
At Harvard and Princeton, traditional
isolationist hotbeds, 20 per cent of the
student body feel the necessity for actively
entering the war against the threat of
Kascist world domination, 33 per cent of
the Dartmouth undergraduates are asking
for an American declaration of war on
Hitler,
Local War Feeling Diminished
l)cs])ite Williams unchallenged position
in the vanguard of New England student
interventionism, there are indications that
the fervor, if not the extent of local war
feeling has languished somewhat since the
spring.
Last spring the most spectacular news
event of the hour was Rudolph Hess'
flight to England, Today, by contrast,
an invading Nazi juggernaut has smashed
through the Russian Ukraine to the Cau-
casian oil field approaches, Moscow de-
fenses totter before the pounding hammer
blows of the German Wehrniacht; Japan
threatens in the Far East; six American
ships have been torpedoed in as many
months. Yet last spiing .Sa per cent of
the Williams student body favored full and
immediate military :ind naval partici
pation in the war with Britain, whether
accompanied by a formal declaration of
war or not. And today, 43 per cent ofthe
college undergraduates favor an inmiediate
declaration of war.
This, however, may not represent a
retrogression in local student war opinion.
It is possible that if the first question were
worded "make war on" rather than "de-
clare war against" more students would
have responded affirmatively.
Dangers of Nazi Triumph Realized
Moreover, many students may feel that
in the event of full American military and
naval cooperation w ith Hritain and Russia
against the axis, a formal declaration of
war would be superfluous.
This analysis is borne out by the sharp
rise in undergraduate awareness of the

Musical Comedy Hits
Pack Initial Recital
Applause for Jerome Kern's splendid
music literally "rocked" the Studio Audi-
torium of the Adams Memorial Phealre
last night as a large audience heard Warren
Hunke and George Lawrence at two
pianos, Joan Stokes, Bennington '42 and
Larry Smith '45 in selections from "Show-
boat", "Cat And The Fiddle", and
"Roberta". Many were turned away as
a large crowd from Bennington, Massa-
chusetts State, North Adams, Williams-
town as well as members of the facult\- and
the student body, turned out for the first
of the new Musical Comedy Recitals,
Outstanding number on the program
was a medley from "Showboat" by Hunke
and Lawrence which featured Larry Smith,
baritone, singing "Old Man River," Miss
Stokes' rendition of "My Bill," a vocal
duct on "Why Do I Love You," and a
piano duo of "Make Believe".
In what was mentioned as "the only
risque number on the program," Hunke
and Lawrence sang a duct "Let's Begin".
Miss Stokes' first number was "Why
Was I Born" in which her clear contralto
voice visibly moved listeners. Another
highlight of the program was "She Didn't
Say Yes, She Didn't Say No" from the
"Cat And The Fiddle" on the two pianos.
Next recital will probably be held in the
auditorium to accommodate a larger crowd
when the Glee Club features Cole Porter's
music on November 9.

'His
Border Patrol Wants
Tough Williams Boys
for Rio Grande Duty
Husky Williams undergraduates, ac
customed to "night work and irregular
hours," will find a hearty welcome in the
United States Border Patrol, a hard-riding
organization devoted to catching illegal
aliens on the Mexican border. Applicants
must have had one year's experience in an
occupation requiring "arduous physical
activity."
However, more is needed than a taste
for adventure and an eye for cactus. If
you are the "active type," enjoy "all kinds
of climatic conditions," and weigh upwards
of 145 lbs, you have a definite chance to
join the Patrol.
McLaren To Head
Committee Selling
Bonds at Williams
Backed Similar Campaign
in First World War;
Seeks Student Opinion
.Stating t hat the purchasingdf government
bon<ls is "one w:iy of hastening the process
of defi'aling Miller and of winning the war,"
Professor Walter \V. .McLaren started his
second cani[)aign to boost the sales of
government bonds in Williamstown, last
week. With Professors l)(mald E. Rich-
mimd and Alan Sweezy completing a
conuniltee of three, Williams enters a
nation-wifle drive in schools, colleges, and
universities to pronicJle the sales of govern-
ment stamps and bonds.
Student Committee Proposed
At a joint meeting of the Indergraduale
Council and Prnfcwor McLaren's gnuip
Thursday night the merits of forming a
companion committee to be made up of
stuilejUs who would work in conjunclicni
with the three faculty niemlKM> was dis-
cussed, Pollowing a sounding out of
undergraduate opinion on such a move
there will he another joint meeting to
further discuss the idea.
It was decided, Thursday that Mr, Mc-
Laren's immediate function is to WDrk up
studeiU allcnlion anil provcjke sales of
these defense stamps and bonds, but not to
canvass the campus as was done in World
War, I, This latter step will In- taken
only if the I'niled St:Ues takes a lighting
part in the luiropean conflict,
McLaren Promoted 1914 Sales
Then a British citizen. Professor Mc-
Laren waged a person to person drive in
1914 as chairman of a committee similar
to the one he heads now to promnfc ihe
sale of liberty bonds. When coxering
Spring .Strcel one day he sold a SIOOO bond
on sight to an Italian laborer when ihe
man pulled that amount of cash from his
hip pocket, W'illiamstown's lolal allot-
ment in the lirsl issue of World War 1 was
$100,000. Almosl four limes that amount
was sold here.
Mr. McLaren stated three reasons for
buying defense bonds. First is the
patriotic motive. The second is from a
savings point of view, since the bonds
yiehl a 2 .9 per cent interest annually, and
the third is to help slop inflation by
limiting the purchasing power of the people
of this country. It is his intention that
students save some of their money through
buying bonds rather than making such
purchase's an additional charge on pari-nts,
.Saying that a student can buy a S18. /.S

McKee Rallies to Gain
Williams Golf Crown
Sophomore Beats Heuer
on Twentieth Green
Three holes down anil six to play,
linksnian Bob McKee staged a late rally
on the 'Laconic Course, Sunday afternoon,
to defeat Charlie Heuer one up on the
twentieth hole for the College Champion-
.ship. Although the freshman star took
fewer shots over the regulation eighteen
holes than the nine over par 82 chalked up
by McKee, the sophomore managed to
keep even with him, finally winning out on
the second extra hole.
McKee reached the final round by virtue
of wins over George Batchelder, Bnli Max-
field, and a semi-final con(|uest of Pete
Davis. Heuer advanced by successive
victories over Munro Steel, Mai Moore,
and an upset 3 and 2 triumph over last
year's champiim, Pete Hussey.
Playing poorly at first, McKee was three
down after the twelfth hole, but a great
rally captured three of the next four holes,
deadlocking the issue. In this uprising,
McKee won the thirteenth, the fifteenth
with a birdie, and the sixteenth, splitting
the fourteenth. After halving the next
three holes, McKee finally broke the ice
and captured the twentieth with a par
four, one shot better than Heuer.

Changing The Driving Rules
III realm nf aiilliority at llu- nuTcy of faculty and students both, the
Uiidergradiialc ('oiiiK'il now takes another lieatinj;.
Tlii.s time from Mr. Ickes, who lia.s called ofT the gasoline shortage.
Thore'.s ga.s enoufih lor everyliody now.
The U. ('. had received a nice letter from Mr. Newhall.
Even the ga.solinc-saver.s in IJo.ston wrote up, and said, "Swell."
Tiie Hoard of Trustees met, and announced at a press conference
that they were looking "with interest" at the new U. C. ruling.
And now Mr. Ickes thi'ows a wrench intt> as pretty a picture of college
bliss as yon would want to see.
*:); + *
Now the r. ('. has to look at the driving question all over again.
Not in terms of a government -.sptni.sored .shortage — there isn't any.
Not in terms of a c()llege-api)roved .shortage — there couldn't even
l)e one of those now.
It nuist look at the driving question in terms of what it has done,
in terms of whatever authority it might have, and in terms of what it
would like to do.
The U. C. should not assume that, as legislation, its recent ruling
would he a handicap and hardship now that the emergency is over.
Nor .should it decide that all is well with the college driving rules and
regulations as they now stand.
Most of all, the V. (\ .shouldn't assume that doing .something or
suggesting something will get .student government in hot water.
The U. ('. has iiotliiiig to lo.se by .suggesting and a.sking — nothing
but more of its .seeniing authority.
It has much to gain — the kind of authority, for instance, that wouhl
make it a .student governing body rather than something to clean up small
things around the campus and take care of a few incidentals for Hopkins
Hall.
1)1 * * 4<
Here is an example of the kind of legislation the Undergraduate
Council might propose to the college. Here is the skeleton of a pvoposcil
new driving law for the college:
1. Soi)honK)res with 3. 1 averages. Juniors, and Seniors may own and
operate automobiles.
2. Automobiles may be ()])erated freely in Williamstown on week-
ends only.
."5. During the week, driving shall be permitted only for entrance to
or exit from town, M'ith certain exceptions similar to tho.se in the recent
V. C. ruling.
•I. All i)enalties under all aspects of the driving rules of the college
shall be in the hands of the Undergraduate Council.
* iN * *
Some are going to .say that this is asking for a lot.
Others are going to say that it isn't asking for enough.
Here are our rea.sons for this proposed new law:
The avowed rea.son for the [jresent legislation no longer exists.
There is no serious hardship — and much advantage — in the U. C.
restrictions now placed on driving in Williamstown.
If juniors and .seniors are allowed to drive, no rea.son can be given for
depriving .schola.stically able .so])homores of the .same privilege, unless it
be the overcrowding of the parking facilities of the town — this evil to he
eliminated by retaining the i)resent U. C. restrictions.
Dean's Office enforcement of driving rules is in large part, by neces-
sity, ephemeral .stuff becau.se the Dean has trouble being "in the know."
Past efforts at undergraduate enforcement, too, have i)rohahly been
inadequate — nH)stly because Undergraduate Council members know that
their responsibility is a pretty whim,sical thing so long as authority is
"seeming."
Here is a chance for the faculty, the trustees, the undergraduate
body to pull one aspect of Williams out of prep school, and to promote
what might develop into an era of real .student government. In looking
at this problem, all three groups al.so would do well to join' in .setting up
permanent nuichiiiery to serve as a clearing house for matters, like this
one, of mutual concern.
Letter to Editors
To ttif Editor of tlic Rkcoud:
A few comnients come to niirul upon
reading tile last issue of the RF.foui). I'o
start with, you have delined your purpose
as that of presenting "the best available
information on ... methods of making
fratcrnlt\- life more responsive to the
educational purpose of the college."
You further explain that it is because
"fraternities have failed miserably in...
getting the best out of Williams" that
the series have been written. Now, one
wonders what you mean by getting the
"best out of Williams." It has always
seemed somehow that what was "best in
Williams" was a subjective matter, and
one to be decided Individually and not
collectively. Yet, tine has only to look at
another portion which has been written
to find that "the attitu<le of this college. . .
(is to expect), . .something better than
respectability in scholarship." The pas-
sage is quoted from one in which you make
reference to the deplorable condition
which exists when a national president of
a fraternity has seen that the members of
his active chapter only seek "respect-
ability" In marks. 1 think from the
Inference here that we may conclude that
you are Interested in seeing better marks
on the part of all fraternity men. This
seems to be at once a very major fallacy.
When any freshman class Is admitted to
Williams, no one assumes that its members
will be uniform In scholastic rating. Nor
does anyone assume that the greatest
fraction of the class will be in the upper
brackets In the marking .system. Like-
wise, the entire marking system Is respon-
sive to particular instances, for the use of a
sliding scale in the majority of courses is
well known. Now, if there were to be,
over a period of a year, a marked increase
in the number of men attaining dean's
list standing, there would be an adjust-
ment to this. Briefly, my point is that
the marking system is a flexible one, and
that any upsurge in scholarship would
only result in a corresponding upsurge in
the results which could be equated with an
upper bracket mark. 1 am hopeful llieriv
fore, that you are really iiilerested In si'c-
iiiH a hit more than a rise In Chi" miinber of
men who get "coiiinieiulable" Krades, tcjr
If ihe rise were to lie general, as you hope,
It would only resull in a reslratification of
the marking system al a higher notch.
I would call your Insistence
that the scholastic inolive be suddenly
made uppermost In I he minds of frater-
nitle:;, such a false reailjustiiienl. He-
cause it Is false, because U will only come
about through pressure, and will disappear
al ihc relaxation of pressure, 1 feel llial ll
cannot succeed. If lis main niolive is lo
make Williams men sliidy Imrdernml ga
better marks from their courses.
In the light of the above erillcisins, I
would like to offer a suggestion. Wlial
seems to lie needed is not a new empbasis
upon grades, nor any dynamic readjusl-
mc^nt of the system. This hopes for re-
wards which can be put on paper, and
whose character Is essenlialh' ephemeral.
What Is desired seems lo be a long term
readjustment of student attitude. Messrs.
Tully and Whidden have pointed out that
this can only be done by changing the t ypr
of man who comes to Williams. With this
1 am In complete disagreement, for it is an
admission that doing what Is desired is
impossible with the Williams un<ler-
graduate of today. I don't think this Is so. 1
frankly think that the condition Is not an
Isolated one at Williams or In VVilliams
fraternities, or even In American educa-
tion. What we face Is the negation of
positive and spiritual values In' an entire
society.
At Williams we might seekabettermeeting
ground between faculty and stuilenl, be-
tween fraternity and non-fraternity man,
between members of different fratcmil ii'S,
and between different fraternity dele-
gations. My only actual and positive
plan would be the reliirth of the sludenl-
facult\- bidl se.ssions which many frater-
nities had. 1 feel that the plan wliicli
some houses have of educating freshmen
is likewise a step in the right direction.
But above all we must havi- a <iuieker and
more open interplay of Ideas among nieii
who are living those Ideas. Such a con-
dition can only become a realiU' in a nieil-
lum which is free and natural, In a com-
munion of interest and exchange. For this
reason, I feel that what we must be in-
terested in Is, above all, the Improvement
of student-faculty exchange. If an en-
riched college career is sought, ll will have
to come this way rather than through
belter houseparties, wider cutting privi-
leges, or the ability to drive a car all over
a small New England village at any time.

Theodore Herberg, C. A. A. Instriuior
from Flllsliekl, will conduct the fl>ing
club's lirst ground school class at 8:00 p.m.
in Jcsup tonight. "At least a dozen girls
from Bennington are going to take this
course," club president John T. Puttie,
Jr. '42 said. ''
Harvard has definitely decided lo give
final examinations next February to all
seniors who are drafted or who are Roing
to volunteer. The scholastic reipiire-
ments for this exam are the same as those
to be held next June.
The Amherst jearling eleven wasted
little time In announcing that It Is the
team to beat in the Little Three this sea.soii
when It rolled up seven touchdowns last
Friday afternoon to shellac the Wesleyaii
first-year men, 46-0. Right halfback, Ray
Smith, returned the opening kick-ofif 95-
yards for a score to give the Sahrinas an
early, never-relinquished lead.
The Play Reading Group, composed
of students, members of the faculty, their
wives, and townspeople, presented Shake-
speare's .4 Winter's Tale, the first of a scries
of five to be given this year, bcfori' an
audience of eighty persons In the Jesup
Hall auditorium, Saturday night.
The purpose of the Naval Air Corps
posters recently put up on the campus is
to get enough interest in Naval flying so
thataWilliams instruction group can be
formed from seniors after their graduation
and from students not intending to return
next year. According to John B. Larncd,
Jr. '42, who is working In coordination with
the Naval department, the Navy would
rather have students finish college for
their own good before following this plan.
Seven seniors will be initiated into the
Williams chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
tonight at the Faculty Club, Dr. Willis I.

Lord Jeffs Top Hard-Fighting Wesleyan, 16-7
AinluTst won the first lap of the Little
Three race Saturilay, by nosing out VVes-
I leyan, 16-7, oil Pratt Field. This is the
first Amherst victory in l.ittie 'I'hree foot-
ball for the last three seasons.
With l.'ackfielil aces, Hob Blood and Tom
Mulroy, side-lined by inj in ies received in
I he first half and the score deadlocked at
-7, .\iiiherst's line asserted its power,
I blocking two punts for a touchdown and a
safety that gave the Lord JelTs a 16-7
margin of victory.
Carrier Passes For First Score
Captain JIni Carrier opened the scoring
111 the finst period with a perfect pass to
rml, Morrill, in the end zone. Carrier con-
Mited to put the VV'esiiieii into a 7-0 lead.
All Amherst drive in the initial period was
slopped by a pass interception on the 17-
\,ir(l line, but a fumble on Wesleyan's 20-
yard line set the stage for the Jeffs. Tom
Mulroy carried the ball across the line in
nvo off-tackle spuits, and Koebel's drop
kick evened the count at 7-7.
liefore the half ended, a fumble on the
one-foot line foiled one Amherst chance to
score, and Carrier's sustained drive to the
lelT two-yard line was prematurely nipped
li\ the end of the half After a see-saw
kicking duel, Wesleyan again threatened
ill the final minutes of the third frame.

Williams' yearling teams split even on

week's 7-6 defeat from Norwich, eked oul a
win over Choate by the same score, and ihe
'45 cross-country team dropped a decisive

The freshman footballers, held scoreless
during the lirsl half, broke the Cmld and

Fluky Extra Point
I he attempted conversion was bhjcked
by several Choate linemen, but Russ
Tucker snared the ball and lateralled to
Johnnie lirown, who in turn tossed to
lleindon for the all-important e.xtra point.
Despite beautiful kicking by Herndon,
Choate dominated the first-half play,
pushing a ragge<l Purple team deep into
its territory on several occasions, and
scoring in the second <|uarter on a reverse

of the belief that the United States must
join and play an active role in the estab-
lishment of a post-bellum world-state
organization that will be able to assure a
peaceful and fruitful development of
democracy. Only '' per cent championed
a post-war policy of autarchic nationalism
for America.
WORLD ORDER?
When faceil with a concrete choice
between a league of Tiations, a world order
based on the regional concept of "spheres
of influence", and a world dominated by
the English speaking powers, as the ideal
post-bellum world system, 67 per cent
alligned themselves with the league prin-
ciple, and only 11 per cent went out on the
limb for the regional doctrine. 27 per cent
favored the principles proposed in Clarence
Streit's "Union Now" as the basis for the
new world state. One student found this
question impossible because all the choices
were "too damned idealistic."
WAR AND LABOR
The issue concennng pro])er measures
to be in\'oked in defense strikes was quite
controversial and produced a slight 57
per cent majority in favor of legislation
empowering the president to forcefully
suppress strikes. 25 per cent expressed
the desire that the president take over
defense plants where strikes occur. 12
|)er cent urged that the situation con-
cerning government intervention be kept
static. Only 6 per cent urged abolition
of all forms of government interference in
management-labor disputes.
Poll Taken at Other Colleges
The Williams survey is part of a general
intercollegiate poll being conducted at ten
other representative eastern colleges of
less than 1,200 enrollment. Colleges, be-
sides Williams participating in the survey
are .'\mherst, Howdoin, Rhode Island
State, New Jersey College for Women,
Connecticut College for Women, Uni-
versity of Maine, University of Connecti-
cut, .Springfield College. Trinity, and Wes-
Icyan, the sponsoring college.
Final residts of the student poll will be
published in a subsequent issue of The
Ri-.coun. Questions used in the poll were
selected from a series of questions con-
tributed by each participating college.
The judges were Arthur Krock, Wendell
Willkie, Max Lerner, and Wilbur liender,
prominent American History teacher at
Andover.

and to extend last year's facilities.
Several young people's groups have
already been formed under the direction
of the committee, most successful of which
has been that in South Williamstown
where the\' sponsor bi-weekly parties and
discussions.
Program To Be Expanded
Other special features in mind for this
year Include a repetition of the Easter
morning sunrise service, .successfully spon-
sored last year by the organization; the
procuring of speakers to instruct the in-
structors; and the formation of a teaching
branch in Monroe Bridge, a small town
beyond North Adams. It is also hoped
that the committee will be able to extend
preaching facilities which were quite limit-
ed last year.
The Deputatitms Committee annually
receives a portion of the $300 appropriated
to running expenses by the Williams Chest
Fund, with which they hold their annual
picnic for Sunday-school pupils and obtain
new bonks.

Board to Make Laws
Professor Charles R. Keller's sugjjestion

on all problems mutually concerning

the Williams Lecture Committee's first
round table, yesterday afternoon inGriflfin

graduates present supported Mr. Keller's
proposal, dcclaiing the committee would

for student and faculty opinion.
New Program ''Highly Desirable"
Professor Paul Birdsall, Dean llalfdan
Gregersen, and Mr. Keller debated the
"Theory ind Practice of Williams Disci-
pline" with undergraduates for almost two
hours. With Robert F. Allen '43, round
table chairman, leading the discussion, the
group reached the conclusion that the
undergraduate body and the faculty do
not at present have mutual confidence
over disciplinary measures, and that some
new program which will create that con-
fidence is "highly desirable".
Comments on the present system of
legislating and enforcing college rules
came from every undergraduate present.

108 Students Attend
Ground School Class
Over a hundred Bennington and Wil-
liams students packed the lecture room of
the Thompson Physical Laboratory, Mon-
day night in the opening class of the Wil-
liams Flying Club's ground school. Mon-
day's topic, "Compass Navigation", will
be continued in next week's lecture.
Conducted in the same manner as any
lecture course, flying club members take
notes and are required to do outside read-
ing in books that are on reserve in the
Cage. Instructor Theordore Hcrberg, a
Phi Beta Kappa and C. A. A. instructor at
Pittsfield, announced at the opening meet-
ing that this course will be completed
before the beginning of Christmas vaca-
tion.
As yet, the flying club is still negotiating
for a flight instructor. Until one is ob-
tained, the only flying at the club's air-
port will continue to be done by students
having solo or pilot's licences.

regulations. This change in policy on the
part of the student governing body came
as a result (jf (Jas-Coordinator lekes' most
recent decree revi'aling thai no i;as shorl-
.i^e exists.
Council Split
.Morgan ilisclosed ihal the Cinineil
was split on the measure, declaring that
one faction favors complete repeal of
driving restrictions, while the other bloc
insisted upon retaining some sort of regula-
tion. Morgan, himself, feels tli.it "the old
law, the way il was, w.is just about right,"
pointing out Ihe fact thai the law was not
unpopular with students, while at the
same time it succeeded in solvini; certain
pertinent problems involvini; parking
and congestion.
The president of the Council declared
that if a law was fin.ally decided upon, it
must be, above all, practical, saying that
he would "much rather see unrestricted
driving than halfway measures that would
be difficult to enforce."
The bloc opposing re])eal fei'ls that the
retainment ot the regulations would serve
as a wedge that minhl open up an entire
new system of student governmenl. These
men point out that if the Council could
secure the necessary authority to enforce
the law itself, instead of submilling
it to the Dean's Office, it would be
taking the first step toward a slroiig and
practicable student governmenl.

Hunke Notes Dushkin's 'Sensational Digitry'
In Recital Surveying 250 Years of Music
l>y Waihiek G. Hunkk '42
Thursday night's audience in the Adams Memorial Theatre heard a violin recital
by Samuel Dushkin. tlu' first in the l'Ml-42 series of ten 'Thompson Concerts.
'The program was realh' ideal in content since it surveyed a period of about two
hundred and fifly years in musical history. Such variety is the (miy proper type of
recital for a college audience; and besides being varied, il was rich in good music.
Begins With "Devil's Trill"
Not always up to the ((uality of his
program, Mr. Dushkin nevertheless tlis-
played noticeable skill on several occasions
during the evening. He began with the
"Devil's Trill" Sonata of Giuseppe
Tartini. Historically, it was the most
ancient piece on the program and musically
it was the least engrossing. As Mr.
Dushkin pointed out in a discussion
Thursday afternoon, the "Devil's Trill"
is a prime example of an eighteenth century
"pyrotechnics" display on the violin.
As performed 'Thursday night, it was just
that and often so much so, that Mr.
Dushkin sacrificed accuracy of pitch for
sensational digitry. His bow stpieaked
often, but we may thank the AM'T'S
perfect acoustics for the not-to-be-heard
noises.
Dushkin Best with Brahms
Mr. Dushkin was at his best in the
Adagio movement of the Brahms Sonata
in D Minor. Throughout the work he
shared the honors with his accompanist,
Erich Iter Kahn, and often the capability
of Brahms pianoforte dimmed the capabil-
ity of the violinist. Yet, in the Adagio it
was Mr. Dushkin's complete recognition
of the value of quietude thai made the
performance almost memorable. Il was
the most highly .sensitive interpretation
in the whole program. As nmst often be
the case whenever this sonata is played,
the odil syncopation in the third move-
ment confused the larger part of the audi-
ence until both violin and piano dis-
continued displacing notes wdiich seemed
misplaced when they were being plaxed.
Accompanist Excellent
n'he remainder of the program consisted
of Mendelssohn's Concerto in K Minor,
during which Mr. Dushkin was applauded
warmly after the first movement; two
familiar Hungarian Dances also by
Brahms (Numbers 1 and 4); a brilliant
Debussy minuet; the Spanish Dance from
De Falla's "La Vida Breve"; a Habenera
by Ravel; and finally a Russian Dance
from the Stravinsky ballet "Pelrouchka".
Mr. Dushkin received more applause as
his program grew more familiar, of course,
but that should not be considered as a
deformation of his capabilities as a virtu-
ous«. Mr. Kahn, at the piano, deserved
every bit of appreciation he got.

Letters to Editors
Need for \e\v Slutlenl (ioveriiineiil
Tiii'ii' lias been a growing senliinent at Williain.s for a new kind of
.shidiiil gDveriiiiieiil, Tiiis sentiment ha.s .sprung from the lack of
racnlty-stiidenl confidence and iiiider.standing in the cutting controversy
of hist year, il has .sprung, niore recently, from Monday niglit'.s meeting
of the I'lKh'rgradnate Council when that l)ody displayed .some of the
weaknesses of lis oiganization : The doubt about Ihe extent of its authorit.v
,'iiid icspoiisibilily, ihe doubt iil)oul how much rei)ie.sentation of opinion
and ho
vote
That Ihe piesenl form of government at Williams makes no room for the
miilnai adjnslmenl of sliideiit-facnlty problems, and that the Under-
grailnate ('oiineil lacks autbority, initiative, and responsibility,
II Overhauling' the U. C.
.Vmong Ihe suggestions that were aired at the round table on discipline
yesterday aftci'iioon was that of overhauling the Undergraduate Council
to overcome the current objections to the nature of our government.
This is an approximation of that jjroposal:
1, The .social units .shall elect to the U,C., men who shall l)e "leaders
and not Gallup Polls," who will decide on questions and matters of
legislation as men with qualified opinions and not as men taking polls of
oj)inion in their organizations,
2, A coniinittce of the U,C. will meet regularly with members of
the faculty for the di.scii.ssion of mutual problems.
3, The College Oi.scipline Committee (now coinpos?d of a majority
of faculty members plus the presidents of the U.C. and S.A.C.) will be
composed einially of faculty and students. Four of each, the four stu-
dents to lie elected from the IJ.C. by its members,
4, The IT,C, .shall assume the responsibility of enforcement of rules
and its own legislation.
III Is Not Enough
There are a number of good reasons why overhauling the U.C, would
not go far enough in this matter of getting effective government at
Williams, Not every house can guarantee a leader every year, and the
best kind of government df)es not consciously provide for dead weight.
(Choosing legislators for the college on a house basis, moreover, is un-
natural. The representative, in s|)ite of the iucentions of the law,
would always have to reckon with his liousc allegiance because of the
nature of his election. The U.C, is too big a body; it reminds one of the
Congress of the United States — which has succeeded increasingly in
showing how to get in the way of decision and action. Moreover, the
U.C. has not the confidence of the faculty — a serious consideration if
we are to have student govermnent with authority. Nor, after Monday's
meeting, has it the undivided confidence of the .student body. It has not
Ihe confidence of its own members. In other words, its tradition is weak
— so weak that a new start offers the best ])rospects of effective govern-
ment.
IV A New Slarl
On the l)asis of suggestions made at the round table, the following
form of new government is suggested as a pattern with which the college
community could work in setting up a government without the flaws of
the present V.C. or without the disadvantages that would bo retained in
an overhauled V.C
1, Each social unit .shall elect, as now, a representative to an
Undergraduate Council which will deal merely with hou.se matters like
pledging, lion.se parties, etc. This body can legi-ilate only in matters |
solely related to the functioning of the social system,
'ollege government shall be in the hands of a ten-man committee student govfrning Irady, A compromise
equally .selected from faculty and students, the members to discu.ss and | ^^'th tiiciuiministration wlicieliy wo wouid
legislate on matters of mutual concern. The enforcement of that legi.sla- ' p''""-^"''^'^' for 'xaniple, no student dilving
lion is lo lie in the handsof the eoinmittee, which is to be headed by that
senior receiving the most votes under the .system of flection described
below,
3. The student members of the committee are to he elected, under
Ihe No Deal .Vgreenient, and are to be three seniors, one junior, and one
.sophomore. Men can lie put in nomination by petitions signed liy a
specified miinher of mcinliers of their own class. Every undergraduate
is entiileil to vote on election day for three .seniors, one junior, and one
sopliomore from a ballot made up of all boiui fide nominees. Elections
are lo take place at a definite jiolling place,
1. The commit tee will call college meetings, on its own volition, and
on the petition of a specified luimber of undergraduates or faculty niem-

It is really a minor, insigiiifirant proposal,
w much leadcr.shii) of opinion .should go into a U.C, memlier's "'^''""Sh it is hardly more insignificant
, , ■ . . . ■ i. , I than the subject to whieh jt refers. My
I use arr serious ciiicstions, and t ley nomt to two .serious tacts: ■, • . , ., f ,._ n i
' •' ' idea IS to change the name ol our Under-
graduate Council from the "I!. C." to the
"H. C." The "H" stands for "House-
party," which, bcsitles t)eing the only word
that is relevant to inulergraduate govern-
ment anymore, is a pleasant and dream\-
term anyway. .Since last Monday our
council has become the judge on such
matters as what girls may be trusted in
student bedrooms, who will sell corsages
to Amherst weekend guests, and how
many petals a three-dollar orchid should
have. I imagine that the Council will
debate the latter point because there is
nothing else to discuss anymore uidess it
be announcements of pledging. There is
no longer any desire to determine what is
sensible on the Williams campus and what
is not. For last Monday evening the
"Houseparty Council," after a harrowing
and forceful discussion, repealed its no-
driving-in-Williamstown law. Just as it
had created the rule largely because of
faculty pressure, it abolished it because of
faculty pressure of a different \ariety As
soon as Secretary Ickes cleared up the gas
shortage, our professors no longer cared
whether Williams men sa\'ed gas or drank
it. But the symbol of Mr. Newhall is
somehow teriifying to the student con-
science, and just for s|)ite the Houseparty
Council repealed the no-driving law. As
early as the next morning it w^'s legal for i
certain senior to park his station-wagon in
front of the library at 8:00 a. m.. in front
of the P O. at 10:00 and outside Lawrence
at 11:00!
In a word, Williams motorized citizenry
is reactionary — a term we hiss in history
and political science classes. I would
venture to hiss it right now. To think
that the Undergraduate Council itself was
the cause of it is to conclutle immediately
that our stu;lent government has passed
up a golden opportunity to correct a cam-
pus trait that is becoming a disease.
Granting that the law as it stood was de-
serving of repeal purely as a matter of
principle. But why should the action
stop there? 1 would advocate a nego-
tiation with the administration itself in
order to procure for the Undergraduate
Council complete responsibility concerning
student driving. I would like to see the
undergraduates, themselves, havethe power
of determining whether or not a man on
no-cuts or probation shall drive. With
this authority in its own hands, the Under-
, graduate Council could really become -
m town e.vcept on weekends, might give us
the aforementioned authority and resjion-
sibility. This idea probably sounds rev-
olutionary to the motorized reactionaries,
but I maintain tlv.it it would be a far
strongei assertion of student government
th-in just plain "repeal". The Council
will haidly bother to act on my suggestion,
however, so once more I ask you, Mr,
Editor, to iiropagandize my original re-
quest concerning the Houseparty Council,
And by the way, how many petals do you
think a three-dollar orchid should have?
(Signed) Warren Hunke '42
bcrs,
V UpoTi Which To Think, Act
The plan iiropo.scd above, it .should be made clear, is suggested as a
pattern on which undergraduates and faculty could now direct their
thinking. It leaves many mailers still undefined; there are a.spects that
will be questioned by faculty and students and by both. We offer it,
nonetlieless, as .somelhing to begin with in this job of repairing student
government and student -faciilly relations at Williams.
There are many reasons why this plan commends itself. Although
its method of elections is unlike anytiiing now in ii.se at Williams, it is a
system which will provide for entliu.siasm and responsibility in the elec-
tion of .student governors. It provides, through nominating petitions
and an all-college election, for .serious attention to the qualifications of
men. It |)nts government on a college plane rather than on a social
unit jiiane. It provides for a meeting ground of students and faculty.
It gives .students more than .seeming authority and greater responsibility.
To lite Editor of 'fan I^ecord:
In the recent controversy raging in
Tins REconn, it seems to nie that the
functions of various elements of the
college hav<> been confused. This be-
laboring Ihe upperclassmen for not doing
more to educate their younger friends, is
rather absurd. One element in the college
is entrusted with fostering intellectual
attitudes and pursuits— the faculty. If
social groups, who arc now helping the
college inestimably by furnishing decent
dining rnonis and lodging for the students,
do also further the intellectual life here,
all honor to them; the college -should be
and is, grateful. But it is nothing the
college should scoldingly demand.

Always Denounced Appeasement
Fischer studied the policies of all the
leading Powers in the Western state
system, and foresaw the disaster which
the democracies' impotence was making
inevitable. He denounced the policy of
appeasement from its inception.
Fischer went to S|)ain during the Civil
War. Me saw the Loyalists fighting
democracy's battle, a "Holy War", and
joined the International Brigade to take
pait in the battle. He watche<l the cor-
rupt democracies betray Spain's cause and
their own by the cowardly device of "non-

From the .Spanish War to the present,
Fischer has fought to make democracy

Charles H. Tower '42 declared that many

from the committee on discipline who will
enumerate the established |)enalties for

he felt violators of the same rule are now-

C. (iorhani Philli|'s '43 said he believed
undergraduates had little confidence in

White Oaks Chapel Honors Williams Founder,
Prof. Albert A. Hopkins, in Anniversary Fete
Celebrating last Saturday the sevenly-fiflh anniversar\ of its establishment, the
White Oaks Cnngr<>galional Church of Williamslown honored . I'njfi'ssor Albert
A. Hopkins of the Williams faculty, the founder, for his zealous efforts that brought
about the iTeclion of the chapel in 1860. The history behind the present church
and the closely knit ridalions with ihe college throughout tlu' years form a
significaru part of the religious activities and attitudes at V\'illiams.
Students Attended Chapel Twice Daily
Ihe ri'ligious compli'xion of the campus
and the c(imnmnil\ while Prof. Hopkins
was active is illustrated in the wcjnls of
Addison Ballard, class of 1842: "All
studeius were re(|uired to attend both
morning and evening prayers in thi' chapel
....attendance was re(|uired (jf all stu-
dents at the regular nicaaiing and after-
noon serxices held in the village church. . .
Of the 128 students in the period 18,?8-42,
fifty-four either became ministers of the
Gospid, or became candiflates for the
ministry."
During 1864-65 Prof. Ibjpkins became
intensely interesleil in the While- Oaks
district, a section {)f town infamous for its
poverty, degradation, disregard for proper;
ty rights, and hai'boring of a "fearful
prevalence of vice"; but he had faith in
the power of the (jospi-l to reclaim this
s(iciel\ .
Hopkins Builds Chapel
He fir^l established a Sabbath Schoiil
through which he gained the lo\c and
respect of the people. 'Then, as the
culmination of his efforts, he plunged into
the building of the chapel — he made it a \
conimuiiit\- project and, keeping U|) the
enthusiasm of the pi'opli', was alile to' Knu
complete the structure in a short time.
Through the remaining \'ears of his life
Hopkins acteil as pastor of the church;
folhiwing his death the pulpit was lilled
by volunteers from the Willianrs faculty,
local clergymen, lay-worshippers, and
numerous Sunday-school teachers from
thestudeiU body. 'To this day the C(jllege
and church have thus maintained their
close relationship; the present pastor,
Charles K. .Monteith '42, being a member
of the Williams student body.
Mr. .Monleilh. with seven \cars of
seminar\' stud\ behind him before arriving
at Williams, occupies the unique pi^sition
of both attending college classes and ex-
ercising the duties of a minister — preach-
i[ig ever\' Sunda\ , leading a scout group,
conducting \caing people's activities, and
s|)iinsoring a 4-11 gar<len gr(jup — in his
spare time.

Williams Soccer Team
Faces Hamilton Eleven
Line-up Change Caused
By Loss of Forwards
Crippled by the loss of its two first-
string wings. Uncle lid Hullock's soccer
team will meet the Hamilton eleven on
Cole Field tomorrow. In spite of the
shifts, Captain Joe Cochran is expected
to lead a victorious team from the field.
.\ twisted knee and a Nipponese con-
scription law have played havoc with the
Purple attack, the former sending George
Simson to the showers for two weeks and
the latter sending Kiyo Turumi back to
Japan for a physical examination. Bullock
has filled the gaps by putting Hugh
Masters in at right wing, and former full-
bick Bruce Brown, by game time a for-
ward of full five da\s' experience, into
Simson's left outside position.
Though the Williams booters beat
Hamilton's squad last season and are
expected to do so again this year, the game
wmII be no push-over. The lack of punch
in the Purple attack and the stellar pliy-
ing of the Hamilton center half and center
forward, will keep Williams fighting to
ward off an upset.
FOOTBALL
(Continued from page 1)
Al Hearne, with Coby Wilson and Kd
Callahan at the tackles, and Mit Hall and
Johnny Stiegman filling the guard assign-
ments. Bill Courter, who has been earning
a reputation as a pass intercepliir, will
start at the pivot post.
Garnet Has Won But One
In the backlield with Hamiock will be
Cy Morgan, blocking back. Herb HoKlen,
powerful plunger, and Bill .Schmidt or
Gunnar Hayes, who made a dynamic debul
from the sick list by scoring three limes
against Tufts.
To date the Garnet has won only a
single game, s(|ueezing out a 7-6 decision
over Wrmont, and falling before Middle-
bury, Trinity, Hobart, and R. P. 1. The
only team that could serve as a yardstick
for tomorrow's encounter is Middlebury,
who nosed out Union, 6-0, and whom the
Purple shut out in a 33-0 avalanche.

ing explanations of unusual decisions, and
more consistency in law enforcement
might help restore undergraduate confi-
dence.
Birdsall Cites Example of Cooperation
Dean Gregersen revealeii that he and
William G. Perry, assistant dean, had
already visited several fraternities and
discussed college rules and the adminis-
tration's enforcement of them. Mr. Bird-
sall noted that the Honor System Com-
mittee, which makes recommendations to
the committee on discipline, was one
example of close cooperation between
students and faculty in enforcing college
rules.
Harriers Face Union
At Home Tomorrow
t)ut to do their part to make it a clean
sweep over Union foi the day, the Purple
harriers face the Garnet on the Taconic
course, in their only home meet of the year,
at 12:15 tomorrow.
Led by Captain Bob C.riggs, the Eph-
men will take t he field as heavy favorites to
annex their second meet of the year. The
Dutchmen, with an unimpressive record
behind tliem, were trounced by the
Mid<llebury Panthers, while Williams has
recoided one \ict()ry and one defeat,
nosing out Middlebury 27-28 and dropping
last week's encounter to \'ermont by a
23-32 count.
Coach Tony Plansky will |)robably field
the si'ine team which ran against X'ermont,
and will bank on Griggs, Brew Cha|)man,
Ken Moore, Maurice Goodl)o<l\' and Da\e
Brown. Art Richmond and either Ed
Sheffield or Hack Neilson will probably
rouiul out the team.
Charley Snell, Bob Shepherd, Dick
Conly, and veteran Reed will be the big
guns for the (kirnet, with Herb Adams,

for duty.

academic and extracurricular work, to
work with freshmen. The students In
their attitude seem to expect from their
instructors only the attitude shown by
the camp cook who shouts; "Come and
git it or I'll throw it away."
Gentlemen of the facultx , there is an
art of teaching. This art is your art, > our
province, your reason for being here. If
blood is to be sweat over getting learning
into freshman heads, it should be your
blood. You are equipped with special
knowledge; can you impart it? Do you

The fraternities are primarily social
groups, nor is that statement an accusa-
tion. There are ways in which they can
and should better the life at Williams;
those ways are social ways. The problem
of drinking is one which nnglit well be
handled by the fraternities. The morale
of the student body is largely in their
hands; the business of friendship. They
were never founded as int<'ll(ctual groups;
they are doing a great service lo the college,
which is dependent on them I'lr living
quarters and dining rooms for the majority
of the students. It is wonderful that the\-
help their freshmen as they do. We, the
faculty, nia\- well shoulder the burden
w-hich is rightly ours, of pnjclucing well-
trained and alert minds.

Advocate Revision
Of Governing Body
I Two Faculty Members
Also Favor New Plan
Of Stronger Council
by Gkorob Y. Nehiibah '44
riiree uiulergraduate leaders and two
I iiiciiiticrs of the faculty Sunday expresBod
iiureement, at least in part, with the plan
I for revising the Undergraduate Council as
|iut forth in the Friday issue of Thk
Kf.<<)K1), while one faculty member and
one undergraduate went on record as
I fa\()ring the present system.
In statements released yesterday to The
Ki;<(inu, David K. Peet, member of the
linilergraduate Council and President of
I the Student Activities Council, Herbert
llolden, also a member of the Under-
I graduate Council, Charles II. Tower,
manager of varsity football, Ehvyn L.
Perry, associate professor of geology, and
I'homas J. Wood, IJirector of Admissions,
I favored a proposed plan whereby a smaller
(•\ecutive committee conipose<l of five
I stuilents and five faculty members would
liMiidle matters of mutual interest.
Cyrus N. Morgan, President of the
I'ndergraduate Council, and Allyn J.
Waterman, assistant professor of biology,
I are not dissatisfied with the jiresent
arrangement.
U. C. Head Gives Opinion
Said Morgan yesterda>', "I sec no reason
I lo change the present Untlcrgraduatc
Council. The II. C. did, however, lose its
liiggesl opportunity to ojien up a whole
I new field of student government when it
liled to retain the driving law under new
I principles."
lleixpressed the view that had the U. C.
etaiiied the driving ban faculty respect
would have increased and greater powers
for the Undergraduate Council would
probably have resulted. Waterman, in
f.ivoring the existing "representative"
sysleni, stated that legislation could be
I f.icilitated by use of committee investi-
gation.
Peet '42 Favors Plan
Said Peet in favor of the "new start"
plan, "I think the idea advanced by Mr.
Keller, of having a small executive com-
mittee would work very well, es|)ecially
through my experience with the .SAC.
"In the executive committee of that
liixly the three faculty members, who are
appointed for a term of three years, add
I lie necessary continuity to the student
policy. The smaller governing body
within the U. C. would undoubtedly be
ini}i(' adaptable to policy formation.
'It's fairly evident", said Poet, "that
1 time is no authority now. The only
i|iiistion in my mind is whether increased
I stmlent government would be suitable to
tile faculty and trustees, especially in
connection with the car problem."

Williams Has Own Kindhearted Quasimodo
Ringing Bells in Thompson Memorial Chapel
Quasimodo MacGruer '43, at times one of Williams' most cursed undergraduates,
pulls himself up the steep stairs of the Thompson Memorial Chapel almost every
morning to make 8:00 a.m. music fi.r the college and to warn all good students that
the time of judgement has come. Not quite stone deaf , MacGruer has the same
kind heart shown in Victor Hugo's character since he always waits until the latest
possible moment before reminding the campus of the awful truth.
Never Missed A Morning *
MacGruer tolls out an 8:00 a.m
melody on every weekday morning except
Mondays when his assistant takes over.
To date Senior Bell Kinger MacGruer
has yet to miss one of these four and three
(fuarter minute recitals. However, his
noonday record of chiming is not un-
blemished. One time a fa.st chrcmometer
resulted in his letting all "eleven o'clocks"
out ten minutes ahead of time. On that
single occasion he didn't follow the usual
system of wailing twenty seconds after the
campus-wide buzzer system which dis-
misses classes had rung.
Ten Bells Chime Out
Modern conveniences remove the neces-
sity of MacGruer's swinging on the bells
AMT Production Heads
Announced by Michael
Set Will Be Completed
For Monday Rehearsal
Although all the members of the cast
are letting their hair grow, the production
end of Cap and Bells is allowing no grass
to sprout under its feet in preparation for
the Shakespearean comedy Much Ado
A bout Nothing to be presentetl on Amherst
weekend.
James E. Michael, Assistant Director of
the AMT, announced yesterday that the
one unit set, designed by Dion A. Hoy '43,
would be completed and painted about the
middle of this week. This, he went on,
will enable the lighting crew to practice in
anticipation of the first dress rehearsal
next Monday.
Barrow Composes Music
Michael declared that they are going "to
use the cyclorama to its fullest, even more
than in Marco Millions, while the side
extensions will also be employed for the
first time."
Music for the play has been composed
by Robert G. Barrow, Assistant Professor
of Music, and it is now being recorded by
the William.sto\vn Syiuphony Orchestra
under the direction of Joaquin Nin-Cul-
mell. Instructor in Music.
Michael stated that Trevor A. Hoy '43,
Joe M. Pohlzon '44, and Thomas R.
Fowler '43 arc designing the scenery,
costumes, and make-up, respectively.
Other heads of departments, he added, are
Bruce V. Brown '43, Scene Technician;
John M. .Spencer '44, Scene Construction;
J. Spencer Dickenson '42, Propetties;
Edwin H. Stubc '44, .Sound Technician;
Charles \V. Benfield, Jr. '43, Costumes;
Theodore K. Carter '42, Production Man-
ager; and Andrews D. Black '43, Stage

I Texas Pappies Bust Their Bankrolls
For Honey Chile's Boots and Beanies
by William C. Brewer '43
Go West, young man, go West— there's sure gold in them there hills if glil:tering
Texas co-eds can average $768 apiece per year on clothes. Design For Living's
C. B. I. (we mean campus bureau of investigation), a super-duper, nose-to-the-
I'lnny, Fourth Avenue, espionage organization, is willing to vouch for this strain
"11 Texas pappies, as well as for other rare tidbits about our Young Modoms —
pardon us — Moderns.
Average Co-ed Spends $240.33 *
Miss Average Co-ed, though less of a
Kolden chariot than her Texas sister,
planks down $240.33 each year for sarongs
and other exterior equipment, if C. B. I.'s
ranking sleuths have put the finger on the
figure. And well they may have. All
along the waterfront, from Smith to Iowa
"■, from Bryn Mawr to Oregon State,
fclentlcss agents have been tracking down
I'iich morsel of fact about our chicker,
chic — collegicnnes, according to the
latest release from Fourth Avenue.
Bar* Leg* Brav* Blaita
These hordes of feminine dicks have
unearthed other salient facts — about
bare legs, for instance. A goodly number
"' the girls are now "baring legs in ankle
socks despite wintry blasts," while others,
more industrious or less popular, "take
time out from patriotic 'bundling' to knit
their own." Other co-eds, on campuses
presumably nearer Williamstown, find
rubber boots appropriate footwear.
The hat situation is also on the up-and-
up, C. B. I. snoopettes find. "Dickeys
are definitely in, while big hats collect
dust ..." is the report. Besides dickeys,
beanies, baseball skullies, pill boxes, baby
bonnets, and ear muffs really rate with
gals "in the know."
Further garment-to-garment tabulation
reveals that southern girls are going for
cffiminate formals" in a big way, while
northern sisters, not so concerned with

himself. Instead, a keyboard made up of
five-foot levers attached to the ten bells
above is the method employed. Even
with this improvement over the old body
contact system playing a few verses of
a tune is work out enough for any man —
especially at the daybreak hours that the
task demands.
Jazz Playing Out
Whether Williams is aware of the fact
or not its carolons chose their selections
with the utmost discrimination. Gloomy
Sunday, the piece that caused a half
dozen Austrians to commit suicide, is the
number played on big houseparty week-
ends before evening vespers while High
Ho, High Ho, It's Back to Work We Go
is featured on the following morning's
program. The more varied repetoire of
"the good old days" has long been done
away with in answer to the somewhat
justifiable objections of townsfolk con-
cerning jazz peeling from the chapel tower.
After every Little Three football game
on Cole field, provided the Purple is
victorious, the chimes are played in cele-
bration. First tune is always The
Mountains, followed by other Williams
songs. This custom was started in 1907
when the bells were installed and has been
carried on ever since.
No Bats in BeUry
In regard to the status quo of things in
the belfry MacGruer reports that "every-
thing is just dandy" meaning there are no
bats or pigeons bothering the tones, no
bolts that need lightening, nor any bells
that are on the verge of descending. His
only difficulty was experienced with
workmen last Fall who were repairing
the spire that had been damaged in a
thunder storm. They insisted on rapping
the bells with hammers upon ascending
and descending to and from the job.
MacCiruer's tolling out in E flat, the most
potent bell in his set, temporarily deafened
the masons and permanently remedied the
trouble.
An issue of the Collegiate Digest last
year ran a picture of MacGruer beside

Fischer to Discuss 3
War Leaders Thursday
This fall's lirst big lecture will get under
way Thursday evening at 7:45 in Jcsup
Hall when Louis Fischer, brilliant author
of Men and Politics, talks on "Churchill,
Stalin, Hitler."
The Lecture Committee has scheduled
the Fischer address for Jesup, but it is
expected that the size of the audience may
force a removal to Chapin Hall. Fischer's
renown as an analyst of the post-Ver-
sailles international crisis plus the time-
liness of his subject will probably draw
crowds from all over the Berkshires, the
Committee feels.
PARAGRAPHS
IN THE NEWS
Amherst students were somewhat
taken aback at the results of a recent poll
amimg Smith girls. The results showed:
(1) .Smith girls were reluctant to spend
their overnight permissions at Amherst,
and (2) they were cool on tlates with
Amherst men.
'Robbed' Cries Adelphic
Union When Lone Qirl
Judge Decides Debate
'There just ain't no more justice left in
the world.' Hitler is still winning the war;
the D<Klgers lost the series; and, according
to the latest, two very earnest Williams
debaters were the victims of very foul
play at Harvard last week.
It seems that Adelphic Unioners Jay
Nicrenberg '42 and Tom Walsh '44 jour-
neyed to Cambridge last Thursday to do
battle in perfectly good faith with the
Crimson word manglers on the issue of
public control of conmiunications. I'hever-
bal tussle was to be sent out over the air
waves from a Cambridge radio station.
Although the actual judges for the debate
had not been previously revealed to the
Williams team, the purple orators anti-
cipated two or three Harvard faculty
members well-versed in the general issues
of the topic under discussion. This is the
usual procedure in such affairs.
Instead, however, Messrs. Nierenberg
and Walsh were very casually informed
two minutes before air time by their
affable Harvard hosts that one of the
Harvard fellows' girl friends from Radcliff
had graciously consented to officiate.
During the debate the young lady evi-
dently became very bored with the weighty
verbal pyrotechnics and walked out on her
boy friend ten minutes before finis had
been written to the argument not neglect-
ing, however, to leave a little note indi-
cating 'whom she liked best.'
After the final negative rebuttal had
been presented, the announcer picked up
Milady's slip of paper, perused itfaithfully,
and, weighing his words, declared that the
Harvard team had won the debate "by the
unanimous decision of the judges".
A Christian's choice in this war is not
between an evil war and a good peace, but
between the two evils of a war and a
Hitler dominated peace, stated College
Chaplain A. Grant Noble in the chapel
sermtm yesterday evening. A peace under
Nazi control is the worse of these two evils,
he continued.
Campus police at Yale have been forced
lo remove all keys left in dormitory doors
ever\' Saturday, since professional
thieves posing as .students from other
colleges have been cleaning out Eli ro(mis
this Fall. In one case tickets to a foot-
ball game on the following Saturdaj' were
stolen and resold in New York.
Announcing the results of a poll taken
by a leading advertising concern, WMS
revealed thai although students don't
listen lo the radio very often, when they
do listen, they listen to WMS. The poll
also showed that Williams undergraduates
prefer light classical music to all other
types.

Williams Pilots Wait
For State Approval
With the obtaining of Richard Petras of
Bennington, Vt., last week as flight in-
structor for the Williams Flying Club,
John T. Tuttle '42, president of that
organization, announced that the approval
of the airport is the only thing preventing
the club's giving flight instruction.
In a letter of a month ago the state
director of aviation, John W..Lasell '20,
said he was anxious to inspect the club's
field at his "earliest convenience." Since
no word has been heard from him since,
Tuttle wrote again last week urging him to
come as soon as possible.
Instructor Petras who has been giving
flying lessons at the Bennington airport
has 1200 hours of flying time to his credit,
most of which was obtained through in-
structing. Since he has recently com-
pleted a government "refresher course"
which includes training in heavy planes
he will be able to instruct at Williams only
until a government position is available
to him.

Paced by game-captain Marsh liannock,
the Williams football team statistically
massacred a stubborn Union eleven Satur-
day afternoon, but was held by rain and
muck to a mere 13-0 victory. Pierced by
two lightning touchdown thrusts in the
opening quarter, the Dutchmen appeared
to be in for another mauling in their long
string of 1941 whitewashings, but the
Garnet dropped mud anchor and checked
the Ephs four more times within paydirt
territory.
Purple Attacks Halted
The Eph offense rolled over the Dutch-
men in the initial period lo rack up two
touchdowns within as many minutes.
But when the field had been churned to a
quagmire, Williams was halted three times
within the visitors' KS-yard line by a
plucky Union defense and a steady deluge
that made passing too dangerous an<l
effective broken-field running almost im-
possible.
Schmidt, Hearne Score
The first time Williams ha<l the ball,
liannock, llolden and .Schmidt drove .S.S
yards to the Union \S in six plays, but the
Garnet stiffened and took possession.
Piatt kicked to the 42, and on the third
play Williams scored its first touch.lown.
Bill Schmidt dropped back to pass, dis-
covered a hole, and behind the beautiful
downfield blocking of Powers and lian-
nock dashed 58 yards to score standing up.
Mil Hall converted and Williams kicked
off.
Within two minutes, the score was 13-0
as Williams completed its first aerial for
another touchdown. Herb Holden faded
to his 28, fired an electrifying pass over
the heads of the defending Dutchmen to
Al Hearne, who raced 40 yards for the
tally. Hall's attempt for the point sailed
wide.
Williams threatened again when, with
Hayes and Holden alternating, they drove
to the Union 12, where Lee Sherman
grounded a fourth-down pass intended for
Hearne in the end zone.
Courier's Play Stands Out
The first five minutes of the second half
was three-man affair between Sherman and
Enstice of Union and Courter of Williams.
On the initial play following the kick-off
Sherman plunged 6 yards and was tackled
by the Williams center. Sherman then
drove for 2, again being stopped Ijy Cour-
ter. Then Enstice tried his hand at
breaking through the middle of the Eph
forward will, only to be downed by Cour-
ter after a one yard gain. There was
nothing for the exasperated Dutchmen to
do but take to the air, so Enstice dropped
back and fired a 20-yarJ heave that was
intercepted by Courter, who carried the
ball 17 yards to the Union 48".
Tawksbury, Power* Kick Well
The spectacular kicking of Bud "Nub-
bins" Tewksbury and Tom Powers high-
lighted the second half. After Hannock
brought the ball to the Williams 33, the
Eph kicking star booted as long a punt as
has been seen on the Purple gridiron in
many a season. From his own 28, he

Money and Music
Till' I'iiiuiK'iul threat to llu' Thompson Concert Series i.s liy no means
over. Last year tlie 1910- H Tlionip.soii eomniittec went $500 into debt —
not heeau.se iiiiileijjradnati'.s did no! ()ledf,'e llieni.selv;'.s lo Iniy tickets for
liie c'oniplcic l*>IO-ll i)rofjrani, l)iil liecause a hirgo minority of them have
not yel paid fur the concerts tliey atleiided. This year many under-
graduates arc not supporting the series because they believe there are no
\)\)i names on the program. These men do not realize that Du.shkin
ranks with Spaiilding as one of the two greatest American violini.sts, that
Joliii Hrownice, like Til)bett, sing;s first baritone roles at the Metropolitan,
or that the New Krieiids of Music Orchestra and the Stradivarius String
(inartcl enjoy iialion-wide repiitalion.s.
Ti) combat llic d()ul)le threat of bad debts and lack of undergraduate
iiilercsl, those men at Williams who really want to a.ssure the future exist-
ence of the Tiionip.son .series must do three things. First, those students
who enjoy good imisic .should purchase tickets for the remaining nine
concerts. For only l)y atlvance knowledge of dependable sources of income
can the committee operate on a sound financial basis. Second, under-
graduates who feel they miss big names on the 1941-42 program, must
realize that only by strong financial support this year can the Thompson
committee secure the services of a Tibbett for 1942-43.
Finally, next year's connnittee itself must find a new method of
selecting really efficient house agents. Perhaps the committee could ask
each house president to apf)oint the agent at the fraternity's first Septem-
ber meeting. This official action will help convince house members that
the success of the Thompson series depends heavily upon the support of
each social group. If the house presidents appoint men who are interested
in the series, it will also prevent a repetition of this year's haphazard
selection of agents, some of whom are extremely efficient, and some of
whom are totally inefficient.
There can be no doubt that undergraduate support this year will
determine the future of the series. The 1941-42 connnittee has scheduled
ten programs which will cost around $4,000. The Thompson Fund will
provide §1,500, leaving about $2,500 to be raised from ticket sales. A
substantial share of this .$2,500 has not yet been pledged by either under-
graduates, faculty, or town residents.
If undergraduates really want the Thompson series to continue nexi,
year, they .should pack Chapin Hall next November 18, when a "big name"
— the New Friends of Music Orchestra — conies to Williamstown to help
carry on a valuable community enterprise.
WILLIAMS
IN THE WAR
A Citadel and a People
riuTi' is a story to l)u told about
Williams College. 'I'htTe is a story to be
told alxiul Williams Colk'gu and the World
War. The story isn't fini.shed yet, but
there are chapters ready to add to it now.
There was a good foreword and part one
for that story written last spring. There
is a very poor part two ready for the
presses lliiw.
l"or Williams lias lost what she had.
Williams was the pride of t he intervention-
ist niovenietU. Williams was pointed to,
talked abdiit, and [iraised. Williams had
arrived.
And now Williams has lost thai. 1 1
isn't all at Williams, because the American
people have losj a lot. Unfortunately,
the goveriiineiil of the country has as yet
not taken the action that Williams de-
maiiiled last spring. And Williams feels
hurt. Williams feels that if it will not be
heard, it will slop shouting, Williams
feels that since it did a good job and failed,
il nia\' slop trying to do the job again,
Williams doesn't feel that there i.s very
much to argue about in the difference be-
tween tragic conclusions and pathetic ones.
The story that Williams is now telling is
pointing toward a pathetic ending. Wil-
liams has hist ground, and Williams may
lie ashamed of that.
What is going on in the worUl today is
no matter to which we may c'ose our eyes
;>n<l allow them to focus on the worldly
matter of driving a car at our discretion.
What is going on is a bit more important
than whelher we can sleep a while later
and still gel to our eight o'clock by driving.
And what is going on won't be escaped by
closing eyes. What is going on isn't
quite the same as a decision lietween
Stetson Library and a trip to North-
ampton. What is going <in has already
been decided. There isn't any more room
for judging the issues. 'That's all over,
and the result i.sn't very hard to discern,
nor is the single course that is open diffi-
cult to see.
But there is a difficult problem. 'There
is a problem that all the resources of all |
the minds that know about it must face
with all the power and faith that those
men own. 'There is the problem of act-
ing, of bringing a nation to act, upon a
decision which has alread\' been made.
It's a big nation, and Williams is a small
part of it. But there isn't a part of that
nation that isn't meaningful. There isn't
a part of that nation that can be given up
without giving up the entire nation. And
Williams is a part of that nation. And
Williams can't give up. None of the men
who realize so pressingly the exigencies of
today's world can give up, for they doom
themselves to the pathetic end as they do.
And none of those men can want for them-
selves or their nation anything but a
glorious rebirth of every meaningful con-
cept of its history, a rededicalion to the
passionate faith of Hamilton, Paine and
Jefferson, a world ordereil as this world can
be ordered, and lias not yet been, and bar-
ring this, a tragic ilealli. America knows
that it has a course, and it knows that il
wants only that course. 'That course
leads neither lo tragic nor to pathetic
death. 'Thai course leads to a birth. Il
leads to the hatching of the widest horizon
in human history, the greatest, and the
last, ami the best hope of all mankind.
Il leads to the birth of a humanity which
will have emancipated itself. It leads to
an era of the city of man, an era of truly
human meaning. 'This is America's course
It means war. It means war now. It
means passionate action now. It means
the end of the debate. It means winning
the war. And it means winning the peace.
And it means winning them both for all
liunianit\- for all the years. 'This is the
role that history has assigned. We have
the means to do the assignment, and we
alone have them, 'To fail to do this a.ssign-
ment will remove that opportunity for all
time.
Williams must see that this is the job
at hand. Williams must rekindle last
spring's interventionism, and rekindle it to
a greater flame. For America needs what
Williams has to contribute, and it needs
it now. If Williams, which does know
what directions we must follow, is to fail,
neither America, nor Williams, can expect
others to do moie. Neither Williams nor
America can expect to go to anything
nior<' than a pathetic death. All history
can sketch no darker end. All hLstory can
point to no greater crime. AH history
can .show no greater laments. All history,
and all men, and all time will stand as the
accusers of America if she now fails her
role as the final, and the most tremendous,
of all the hopes of all the days,
—W. P. C, 3rd

Mr. Wood, emphasi/ing that "Any
change would probably be for the better",
pointed out that a policy of electing the
executive committee by campus-wide
rather than by individual fraternits' polls
as proposed in the "new start" idea, would
promote individual leadeishi)),
"In the, past U. ('. men lia\'e just taken
orders from their respect ixe houses. The
men in each house are going to want this,
that, and the other thing, and their
appointees have become representatives
rather than campus leaders.
"Certainly", he continued, "the faculty
has no confidence in a group that repeals
the dri\'ing law so (piickly when ob\iousl\'
there was considerable .student opinion in
favor of retaining a few restrictions."
Tower Gives 3-Point Plan
Tower, who had at first been skeptical
about the new plan, recently came out in
its favor. "The suggested program is
sound for three basic leasoiis", he said:
"first, it would help to bring about a co-
ordinate faculty-student point of view;
second, I belie\c that the split of repre-
sentatives shouldn't be on a fraternity
basis; third, members of the new council
would realize increased responsibility,"
.Although he does not belie\e it to be the
best possible program, Holden said, "1
think that's a pretty good iilea. While
there will undoubtedly be a lot of kicking,
it would be the only way to get something
done. Undoubtedly it would be a good
substitute, but I'm not sure it would be
the best."
Perry praised the plan, eni|)hasizing
benefit of a non-political group which
would work for the college as a whole
rather than on a fraternity basis, but
stated that a division of jurisdictional
powers between student and facult)- rep-
resentatives would probably be necessary
to prevent stalemates. Such a group, he
said, would be based on the same principle
as the Honor System Committee, and
similarly, would ha\e "to be armed with
certiin penalties for rule violations."

qiuck-kicked a wet ball that traveled 65
yards in the air, hit and bounded into the
end /one for a total yardage of 70.
Powers' most skillful punt followed a
IJnicni interception of Tewksbury's pass on
the .30, the closest view the Dutchmen were
to have of the ICph goal line. After
Johnny Stiegmaii, brilliant sophomore
defensive guard, nailed Killian for a 7-yard
loss, lied) llolden intercepted a pass,
bringing the ball to his own 45. l~rom
here Powers sailed a bullet-like ([uick-kick
that went out of boimds on the Hy at the
Union 4-yard line.
Offenses Fail To Click
Hoth offensi's failed miserably in the
third period, while Davis aii-.l C.oldblatt
of Union arul Kenzi and Courter shared
defensive honors. Only once did an Eph
back come close to breaking away when
(lunnar Hayes was dropped by a shoe-
string tackle by the last Union man in
front of him. Williams was held to a net
gain of 11 yards and was limited to one
first down, while the Ciarnet picked up a
total of 8 yards rushing.
Eph Threat Falters
With two minutes to play, the Purple
drove to the two-yard line, only to be
stopped by a wild center. Starting on the
47, Hannock picked up 20, Orr and
Schmidt each drove 5, then Schmidt
whipped around the end for 16 to put the
ball on the 6. Orr and Wells drove to the
2. Then, with 10 seconds to play, the
center flew between the halfbacks to be

Definitely outplaying iheir opponents,
the Williams soccermen failed in ihe more
important function of oulsc(iring the
ILimilton team, and |)la>ed to a scoreless
tie on muddy Cole Fiidd .Saturday after-
noon.
Purple Forwards Lack Unity
The Purple, e.spected to carry the clay,
played a very uninspired brand (jf soccer,
failing lo capitalize on its frequenl oppor-
tunities for a tally. A serious lack of
unity and punch in the forward line kept
the hcjine team from taking advantage (;f
the excellent playing of fullbacks Captain
Joe Cochran and Amos Barnes, who
managed to keep the Williams territory
well cleared for the greater part of the
game.
Late Goal Called Back
Late in the third quarter Coach Hul-
lock's charges did start a drive down the
field that was culminated by Art Lee's
kicking the water-logged ball into the
nets from a scrambling melee in front of
the goal. The goal, however, was called
back by the timekeeper and the referee
as it was made some two seconds after the
period ended.
Although neither coach made any
substitutions during the first half, L'ncle
Ed Hullock did start the second sjian with
a new attack composed of Jack R<'ed,
Ben Hurd, Bruce Winter, Art Lee, and
Sink Hart. Later in the same ciuarter,
I'rank Wozencraft replaced Hedley Rey-
nolds at left half-back to give a rest to
the latter, who was slowed down by a
bruised muscle.
Two Overtime Periods
Two five minute overtimes were pla>"ed
in an attempt to break the tie. The
Purple maintained the upper hand through
both, hammering repeatedly at the
Hamilton goal, but with little success.
The slippery condition of the field and
the ball made long shots difficult and the
lack of unity turned all attempts at close
teamwork into confusion.
The visitcjrs from Clinton never showed
themselves to be bett<'r than mediocre,
with the highly-touted Meier unable to
exhibit his best form, because of the cold
wind and the rain that made judgement
and speed very difficult.

to the direct and anticipatory elTects of
the Selective Service Act and to the high
wages ottered by <k'fense industries.
As a result of this decrease practically
all colleges and universities face a "grave
financial problem". In addition to the
cut in tuition receipts, endowment yields
are less than they ha\e beeci in the past.
Colleges of Arts Show Gains
ln<lependent colleges of arts and science
show the largest attendance gains while
public institutions were the hardest hit.
Williams, a college of "arts", lost over
twenty students to branches of the mili-
tary service alone. Only four of the fort>--
nine state and other public universities
surveyed showed gains, while the rest ha\-e
suffered losses as high as fifteen per cent.
The University of Connecticut leads the
field with a twenty-fi\e per cent increase.
Independent teachers' colleges reported no
enrollment gains and law schools also lo.st
a large number.
Deferments Aid Medical Schools
Attendance at medical schools is the
highest on record while engineering depart-
ments show a similar increase. The Times
explains these statistics by pointing to the
deferments offered students in medicine
an<l certain branches of engineering.
The national emergency's influence upon
masculine enrollment is emphasized even
more by statistics resulting from the 101
woman colleges included in the survey.
Thirty-eight of these have enrollment
increases, thirty-nine approximately the
same number as before, aiul onl\' twenty-
four have experienced decreases.

Cliapin Hall. "The outcome of the
u and the whole fate of the world", the
iM-oiisly anti-Nazi foreign correspondent
lUnmly declared, "rests directly in the
;ii(ls of the United Stales."
.Xddressinn a near capacity audience
!i 1 railed from all over the Berkshires, Mr.
'lecher, three weeks returned from Lon-
discussed current developments in
\.irl<l War II, ventured a prophecy on its
liiicome, and outlined a politically real-
lie program of American action as the
Jc means of insuring a democratic
iclory.
Neither Side Holds Upper Hand
Mr. Kischer's primary contention on the
,isis of European observations made in
ii~ most recent London excursion was that
biiilcr present conditions neither Germany
i"i Hritain decisively hold the upper hand
I he war. Britain cannot win hecause
|h>' (h«'s not have sufficient industrial
ililiesand military e(|uipnient to invade
|lii' continent or not suflieienl air power to
unil) the Nazis out of the war.
(In the other hand, Ciermany cannot win
Ihe war either without a successful niili-
liirv invasion of Britain. The Nazis lack
irnianent air superiority over the chan-
il. which is a prere(|uisite for such an
it.asion.
"U. S. The Decisive Weight"
Mr. I'ischer pointed to the Hitler-Soviet
|j;Krcssion as an indication that Hitler hini-
t.M has realized the futility of a British
nvasioii and is consolidaling his resources
li I he Fast for a drag-down, stalemate war
|f attrition against "the Uxiniing Anglo-
iixon coalition". "The decisive weight
1 the conflict", Mr. Fischer continued, "is
vilh the United States."
Only a more intensive American partic-
ipation in the war will write a ("mis to the
l)laKUe of dictatorship. Only an imme-
piate American declaration of war, he
sscrted, will force America to make those
.irrifices necessary for a stinmlation of

[Hitler and Supporters -- Damned Barbarians',
Asserts Van Mesdag '45, Netherland Youth
"Adolf Hitler and his supporters area gang of damned barbarians."
Such is the indictment of the present German regime delivered by Jan Bart van
^It sdag '45, a native of the Netherlands, and only recently arrived in this country.
He feels that the present war being waged by England against the "bar-
trians" is an ideological war and that the English are cast in the role of "the saviors
\l civilization." As such they deserve all the support that can be given to them
\ the peoples of free countries, declares van Mesdag.
Williams Complacency a Paradox ' "
Ihat any Williams student could
toniplacently assume an attitude of
|"tal unconcern in a conflict which holds
|he fate of occidental civilization in the
balance is to him a paradox. He deplores
|hc lackadaisical attitude of the average
vnerican citizen as one sure method of
|nviting disaster.
I'his attitude of levity concerning issues
pf vital importance, according to van
lesdag, brought about the fall of France.
I'uring his travels in France two years
Igo he noticed that, although the morale
If the troops was excellent, the statesmen
fi France were mostly interested in "wine,
»'omen, and song." To this national
Iharacteristic he attributes the humilia-
|ion of France.
Travals on Continent
Jan Bart van Mesdag was born eighteen
fears ago in Hilvcrsum, Holland. He
went to school in England, and has travel-
ed much on the continent of Europe.
During his travels in Germany, van
Mesdag, because of his status as a visiting
foreigner, was accorded privileges ordi-
narily not enjoyed by the citizens of the
Reich. Apparently this extra-special treat-
ment was calculated to create a favorable
impression of the Nazi regime, but Jan
declares it was easy to see that Hitler's
power was based on propaganda and the
Gestapo.
Hitlar Works on Youth
The most sympathetic recipients of der
Fuehrer's propaganda ire the German
youth. Van Mesdag feels that this policy
of "getting them while they're young"
constitutes a self-perpetuating factor
within the Reich,. and thus increases the
urgent necessity of prompt action on the

New Chem Building
Will Be Completed
In Early February
Addition to Laboratory
First Step Towards
Realizing Dennett Plan
liy NioN R. TucKKH, Jii. '44
Although originally scheduled to be
compklid by October 1 of this year, the
new $100,000 addition to the Thompson
Chemical Laboratory is now expected to
open next February, ready for use during
the second semester.
Contrary to general belief, the delay was
not due to defense priorities. Main
"bottleneck" was the difificuky in getting
the three-ton I-beams from the Bethlehem
Steel Company mills. These girders that
span the distance between the biology and
chemistry buildings supporting the suc-
cessive floor levels had to be specially
rolled and then shipped by flat-car to
Pittslield. Though the masonry was
ready for the placing of the beams in late
June, they were not delivered until mid-
September holding up work nearly three
months.
Skilled Labor Scarce
Scarcity of skilled labor was also a
limiting factor in the building schedule.
Though the supply of masons and brick-
layers was abundant, electricians and
carpenters became increasingly scarce as
the summer went on. It has now become
difiicult to employ even unskilled laborers.
Just s{|ueezing under the barrier created
by the National Defense Program, orders
were placed in late June and early July.
According to Professor John Fitch King
of the Chemistry Department, it has been
estimated that some of the orders placed
from Williamstown must have been among
the last accepted not subject to priority
ruling. Most of the copper and metal
equipment, now impossible to secure, has
arrived and is now stored in local ware-
houses. The last of the furniture to be
shipped is expected to leave Chicago by
the seventeenth of this month.

Midyear Degrees
For '42 Draftees?
No Demand from Seniors
As Yet for February
Exams, Says Newhall
Rumors that Williiims would fall in
step with the recent Harvard-Princeton
educational streamlining policy of holding
final examinations in February for drafted
seniors were denied this week in college
administration quarters.
No Desire For Plan Indicated
Acting President Richard A. Newhall
declared Wednesday, "Nothing has yet
come to the attention of college authorities
to require imitation of the Harvard-
Princeton policy" Most of the drafted
seniors have been deferred by their local
draft board for the duration of the college
year. Those seniors who have not yet
been deferred and those who intend to
enlist, Acting President Newhall pointed
out, have not yet indicated any desire to
have the diploma requirement shortened.
Harvard Undergraduates Petition
The Harvard action in shifting examina-
tions to midyears "to enable qualified
seniors to enter the armed forces before
the end of the academic year without
losing their degrees" was not an antici-
patory move. It was rather the direct
result of undergraduate petitioning. Un-
willing to lower any curricular require-
ments, the Harvard faculty has insisted
that to be eligible students must be
qualified to carry five or six courses and
prepare for examinations between now and
February.
This latest step which the university
has taken to meet the demands of the
American armed forces on college men
complements its Three- Year acceleration

Record Crowd Due
Amherst Weekend
Over 7000 to See Game;
Notable Alumni Return
to Cheer Purple Team
With all seals, both on the permanent
and temporarily erected grandstands, sold
out for over a week, the Office of the
Graduate Manager of Athletics is still
being swamped for tickets for the Amherst
football game. All records of attendance
for Williams-Amherst games held in
Williamstown will be broken, according to
Albert V. Osterhout, Graduate Manager.
Not since the same weekend in 1932
has there been nearly so large a group
coming to Williams for the "big game".
.Saturday's record-breaking tilt is expected
toatt act well over seven thousand people
according to the latest estimate.
Well-Known Alumni Returning
Some of the better known of the return-
ing alumni are Judge W. A. Burns '97 and
Cohinel Clark Williams '92. The presi-
dent of the Society of Alumni, Stuart
Tenipleton '10, and Joseph B. Ely '02,
lormcr governor ot the state of Massacnu-
setts, have both sent in applications for
tickets.
In the stands Saturday afternoon to
hear undergraduates and alumni together
singing the song he composed while an
undergraduate himself will be Clarence F.
Brown '09, author of "Yard by Yard."
Loyal Williams rooters Julia Sanderson
and Frank Crummit, well-known for their
stage and radio exploits, are scheduled to
return to Williamstown for their regular
Amherst weekend visit. For the past
two years dr more they have been jointly
conducting a radio quiz program known
as the Battle of the Sexes.
Former Football Captains Expected
At least three former football captains
are expected, the first of which is Al Vinal,
a classmate of President J. Phinney
Baxter '14 and leader of the 1913 grid
squad. Of more recent vintage are
Chester Lo.sall and William C. Fowle who
headed the 1929 and 1931 teams respec-
tively.
Mr. Osterhout has notice that at least
seven former football managers are plan-
ning to return for this year's liattle, the
earliest of which is E. M. Kennedy '04 and
the most recent, Roger Snow, Jr. '40.
Charles B. Hall '15, Hen,ry Flynt '16,
Joseph Dorrance '31, E. M. Walker '34,
and C. S. Brown '37 have also applied for
tickets.
Debaters to Enter

Williams debaters today invade Dart-
mouth, seeking revenge for the Harvard
"robbery" last week, for the practice
tournament to be held at Hanover this
weekend. Accompanied by Adelphic
Union coach, Robert F. Young, two teams
will represent the college in contests with
live other colleges on the topic. Resolved :
That the federal government be given the
power to regulate all labor unions.
Charles Carothers and Milton Prigoff

Robert TuUy '42 and Alex Westfried '43
will debate the negative. Other colleges
convening this weekend at Dartmouth are
Vassar, Amherst, the University of Maine,

Guard in last week's downpour shows that

year's 40-6 man-handling, and Coach
Wesley Fesler will be pulling all his magic
out of the bag to hand Williams a few

herst a tough fight before going under

game put Jim Carrier's passing genius at
a disi\dvantage. Williams' pass defense
has shown up poorly again this season,
especially in the Princeton game, and the
Cardinal aerial attack may be hard to
stop.

171 Freshmen Receive
Preliminary Warnings
Phi Delt, Sig Freshmen
Head Scholastic List
Sixty per cent of the class of 194.S re-
ceived the preliminary warnings Monday
which are issued annually to fieshmcn.
Of the .^38 warnings sent out from the
Dean's Office sixty were E warnings while
277 were D's.
By comparing the.se with |)revious
statistics, the present sophomore class has
the best record in receiving preliminary
warnings during its first year. Only
twenty-nine per cent of 1942 went through
this period unscathed as freshmen, while
thirty-six per cent of 1943 and forty-one
per cent of 1944 were not warned at that
time.
Since these notices cover such a short
period they are not necessarily indicative
of mid-semester standings. They do.
however, act as a fair basis of discussion
for any freshman who wishes to plan his
work with Assistant Dean William G.
Perry.
Going from the least to the most pre-

$6.50
The attention of the people running around campus boldly asking
$6.50 for a few hours of imisie Aniher.st weekend is called to the following
quotations from the W illiams (^iiurtorly of 1859:
June: On tiie ijcca.sion of the announcement that Gilniore'.s Band
from Hosloii would play at Comnieneeiiient : "Probably the most expen-
sive l)aii(l of llie country, as well as the ino.st nnisical, it will doubtle.s.s
give .s|)eeial eelat to ('omiiieiiceiiient exercises."
Seplvniln'r: "The introduction of expensive music at Conimeiicc-
meiit is strikingly illii.sti'ativc of the tendency in fiollege to give too great
iini)ortance to things merely .seconrlary."
Le.st .some one figure that Tiiio Mioromi is against house i)arties,
may we state simi)ly that lioii.se i)ai'ties are .swell.
Also — for tlie sake of the recortl — we're not at all convinced that
anyone is going to get $6.50 worth of music Amherst weekend, nor that
this is the exact point in our history at ■wliich "special eclat" at any price
is worth very nuich. We're miglity .sure that there are a thousand and
one l)etter ways of .spending that much money, and we wonder if the people
who an running this show have heard of such sundry things as stationary
incomes and increasing |)rices; such things as sacrifice and national de-
fense, the United States Army, Navy, and Marines; as useful ways of
using money and wasteful; as the Williams Chest Fund Drive; such
things as the Japanese Navy, Adolf Hitler, freedom, decency.
We wonder, because four hundred times $6.50 is something close to
$3,000 — which is a lot of money to be pouring into a weekend of dancing,
when the things in life that matter depend upon pouring many times that
amount into defen.se bonds and stamps, into machine guns and bullets.

part of all opponents of tyranny — par-
ticularly on the part of the youth of the
United States, cm whom will devolve to a
large degree the task of combatting their
fanatical German contemporaries.
Jan himself has already attempted to
enlist in the R.C.A.F,, but because he
was un<ler-age, and because of an optical
deficiency, he was rejected. Neverthe-
less, the idea of freeing his enslaved
countrymen is still uppermost in his mind,
and he declares that, should an oppor-
tunity to enlist in the ranks of the enemies
of Hitler present itself, he would not fail
to take advantage of it.
In describing the situation in the con-
quered Netherlands van Me,s<lag quoted
the following phrase from a letter he re-
ceived from a friend in Holland: "Things
used to go better, now they go best, hut
I wish they would go better again."
Holland Very Damocratic
Of course J.an's own feelings dictate a
much stronger statement of the evils of
Nazi rule than does this cautiously worded
letter, but he feels that the above quota-
tion gives a fair impression of the attitude
in Hf)lland today. Jan described the
Holland of three years ago as the most
democratic nation in Europe. He said
that Holland's democracy was an exact
duplicate of America's.
But he declared that this similarity
between the two countries amounted to
more than the acceptance of the same
political philosophy. American cars, A-
merican refrigerators, American stoves,
and even American slang and profanity
are extremely common in Holland.
Van Mesdag feels that a similar affinity
of interests among all nations must form
the basis of any post-war order. He is
equally sure that the post-war order will
be drafted by American and English
statesmen, since to him a German defeat
is inevitable.

CHEM LAB
(Continued from page 1)
The addition now under construction is
part of a plan proposed in 1935 by Presi-
dent Tyler Dennett. This scheme sug-
geste<l that the three Thompson Labora-
tories be joined into one large building
which would serve as ^ science center for
the college. A common corridor would
run from one end of the present Physics
Lab to the opposite end of the Biology
building with e,\tra classrooms to be used
by all three departments. It also pro-
vided for an enlarged shop to do the work
i)f all three scientific branches with one
large reference library and a central office
system.
In accordance with this general plan, the
new wing will connect the two buildings
it lies between, on all three levels, while the
new lecture rooms being built are expected
to be available to the Biology Department
when not being used by the chemists.
Fourteen Rooms Added
The wing will bring 8,500 additional
square feet of usable floor space to the
department as well as fourteen more
rooms; — lecture rooms, small laboratories
for specialized work, faculty offices, a
physical chemistry laboratory on the top
floor, and a very large organic chemistry
workshop in the Ijaseinent.
The latter will be the largest lab on
campus, even though it is of the most
expensive type to build. Under ordinary
conditi(ms it will be able to easily accom-
modate 48 students, 24 at a time. Should
conditions arise warranting it, this lab may
easily be expanded to handle nearly twice
as large a working group.
To show that the growth of interest in
chemistry which tnotivated the construc-
tion of the new wing might continue to the
point of necessitating such an expansion,
Dr. King cites the example of the Chemis-
try 3-4 course, in 1934 a class of around
twenty, and this year a class containing
well over eighty.
Reminiscent of Cornell's 1940 'fifth
down' loss to Dartmouth, the movies of
last Saturday's Harvurd-l'riiicclon en-
counter reveal two vital plays on which
there 'appears' to be some dispute. As
stated in Tlie Daily Princelomiin , "Mo\'ies
appear to show Franny Lee tlowii be-
fore crossing goal line and MacKiniiey
out of end zone while kicking." However,
it is reported that no action will be taken
by the Tiger coaches or A. A. Office unless
the "Harvard Athletic Association initiates
some action to change the decision."
Theodore Dreiser will probably be in-
spired to write another chapter to the
Amfican Tragedy if he happens on the
startling ad which appeared in a recent
issue of the V'assar Miscellany News. It
read: "Whoever took my green sweater
and skirt by mistake from the dressing
room of the Junior Party last Saturday
please return it to me at 215 North."

omores, and juniors will be able to com-
plete their education ind acquire their

A similar plan is under consideiation at
Yale, although no definite decision is ex-
pected in the near future.
The latest development in the sopho-
more campaign for drixing permission was
revealed in last Tuesday evening's Jesu|3
Hall meeting of the class of '44. This
development involved a plan which, as it
was presented to Acting- President Richard
A. Ne\vh]|l, Dean Halfdan Gregersen, and
Cyrus N. Morgan, '42, proposed that the
members of the three upper classes be
allowed to use cars only during weekends.
Cole Porter Recital
Will Feature Octet
Cole Porter will be the subject of the
second in the series of musical comedy

recently announced. In addition to the
regular cast of Hunke and George D.
Lawrence '43 at the pianos and vocalists

The program, which has been personally
arranged by the composer himself, will
be presented in the studio auditorium
of the AMT. Two weeks ago at the first
recital, even though about twenty stu-
dents sat on the floor, more than twice
that many were turned away because of
the studio's lack of seating facilities.
Despite this great show of undergraduate
enthusiasm, the price will remain at

opening eleven, will probably start Charlie
Wheeler and Andy Knox on the flanks.
Art \'orys antl C"arl ( '.ruber at the tackles,
Fred Wardwell and liill Kossell at the
guards, and John (dasgow at the pivot
post. This line weighs about 185 pounds
a man from tackle to tackle, although the
light ends bring the average of the forward
wall down to 180 pounds.
Backfield Averages 165
Behind this line will be a backfield that
averages a little under 165 pounds. Line
plunger Larry Hrashears, the weightiest of
the backs, will hold down the fullback
position, while John Brown, Em Herndon,
and Les Johnston will round out the
quartet.
Since the Wesleyan booters already lead
in the Little Three competition, having
disposed of the Sabrinas by a 4-1 score
they will be favored over the Chaffecmen
in tomorrow's engagement. However,
the Purple booters will be out to protect
their season's near-perfect slate, marred
oidy by an overtime 2-2 deadlock with
Deerfield. In their only other conflict to
date, the booters posted a 3-0 decision over
the R. P. I. first-year men.
Hoover in the Nets
Coach ChatTee will field virtually the
same club that has started in the Deer-
field and K. P. 1. contests. Tom Hoover
will protect the nets, with Hob Chamber-
lain and Chink Walker at fullbacks. Full-
back Hart N'an Eck, who has been a regular
all season, is home sick, and in all probabil-
ity will not see any action.
Nes Bangs, Denny Volkmann, and Art
McComb will play the halfbacks, while the
forward line will have Cory Wickershani
and either Beany Kingsbury or Elliott
Stearns at the wings, Hernie Seelback and
Bill Eyre at the insides, and Larry Smith

Gym Decorations Will
Be Like Parisian Cafe
Ticket to Long, Berigan
Dances Will Cost $6.50
Lasell Gymnasium will be transfer red
Amherst weekend into a scene reminiscent
of ga\' Paree of the pre Vichy ilays, accord-
ing to Arthur V. Lee, 3rd '42, business
manager of the Glee Club. The motif of
the decorations is a Parisian cafe, complete
with Prench doors and windows, awnings,
and lampposts.
The entire ceiling and the walls above
the balcon\' will be covered with massive
blue cloth, wliile the rest of the walls will
be green. In reply to complaints that
previous house party dances have been too
dark, the dance committee decided that
the lights will be brighter this year.
Arrangements ari> now being made for a
Coca-Cola and ice cream bar in the side
gymnasium.
Long Plays Friday
Fiddle-playing Johnny Long has been
contracted to perform Friday night from
ten until three at the formal dance. On
Saturday, Bunny Berigan will pla>- twice,
first at a tea dance in the afternoon directly
after the game, and again that night in an
informal dance. The tea dance, innovated
this year for the benefit of alumni and
Amherst rooters as well as Williams under-
graduates, will last until six o'clock.
Combination Tickets -- $6.50
Combination tickets for all three dances
will be sold by the Glee Club compets for
S6.S0. This is a slight rise over other
years, caused by the increased federal tax
and general rising prices. Individual
tickets for the dance Friday evening are
$3.75 a couple and $3.50 stag, for the tea
dance sixty and fifty cents, while those for
the Saturday night affair cost $2.50, couple
or stag.
The Fhior Committee for the formal
dance consists of Cyrus N. Morgan, Hugo
A. Oswald, Jr., and Herbert Holden '42.
For Saturday night's dance the Committee
will be Warren G. Hunke, John M. Gibson,
and L. Philip Muller '42.
WESLEYAN GAME
(Continued from page 1)
Purple attack was not clicking well after
the first period. A lot more dri\e will be
needed to push the Cardinals around if
Williams expects to continue its rule in the
Little Three roost.
Wesleyan's Record UnimpreBsive
Weslcyan's record to date has been un-
impressive, including a trouncing from
Brown and a 13-6 loss to Bowdoin. They
beat a weak Haverford team 33-11, and
then lost to Amherst 16-7, although the
game was closer than the score indicates.
But the victory over the Coast Ciuard is a
real feather in their cap and shows that
Wesleyan is improving fast as the season
advances. The Coast Guard Academy's
eleven downed a strong Norwich outfit
earlier in the season.

For Shot at Wesleyan
Cardinal Game Seen As
Difficult Assignment
Long overdue, the Williams soccer
machine has high hopes of breaking into
the win column tomorrow against the
Wesleyan stjuad. The Cardinals will
play host to a far more determined team
and unified attack than Uncle Ed liullock
has been able to muster on the field so
far this year.
The same combimition that faced
Hamilton last weekend, with the excep-
tion of Norm Lowell who will replace
.Shep Poor in the goal, will take the field.
After a week's concerted practice, the
soccermen shouUl ha\'e overcome the
faults apparent in the Hamilton en-
counter with an eye towards a toe hold on
the Little Three Championship.
The Wesleyan booters are no mean
opponents. Not content with the Little
Three title last season, they went on to
annex the New England Championship
as well. More recently they downed
.Springfield, early season victors o\'er the
Purple
More cheerful is the fact that Wesleyan
found Vale as tough i foe as did Williams.
Moreover, the long list of bad breaks that
have been partly responsible for the un-
attractive record of three losses and one tie
should be well o\'er l)y now. W'ith a few-
good breaks, the soccermen are expected
to "find themselves" and make the first
notch on their guns a deep one.

"The AiiK'rica I'irst (■oiiiiiiitUe is opposed to all foriign isms, such as Com-
niiiiiisiii, Nazism. Union Now and Fascism. We believe in a strong defense for
.America, but in staying out of the present foreign war." This is the pullished pro-
gr iiM of the .'\merica First t'omniittee. Last week we attended one of its rallies in
lioston to determine what it really stands for.
We le-.irned little from the speeches of
.Senator liurton K. Wheeler and ex-
.Amb.i.ss idor C'udahy except the techniques
of nbble-ronsing. .'\lthough Cudahy ap-
peared to be keeping his speech on an
intellectual level, his basic appeal was to
till' emotions of his audience, using the
well-worn shiblioleths of "Constitution,"
"American Way," and "Thank God I'm
an American." Wheeler made no attempt
to cover up his demagogy. Every anti-
administration, -.inti-liritish incident,
story, or joke l)ecanie his tool.
Priest Opens Rally
Both men echoed time and again the
catholic note struck at the beginning of
the meeting. The rally had been opened
by a priest delivering a Catholic invo-
cation, followed b>' ,1 responsive uttering
of the Lord's Prayer. Wheeler and Cud-
ahy quoted the isolationist sentiments of
Cardinal O'Connell and the Cardinal of
Ireland, scoffed at the President's claim of
religious freedom in r<ussia, and drew an
analogy between political offices and the
Catholic hierarchy. These appeals found
their marks.
The audience, itself, consisting mostly
of women anil men o\'er the draft age, was
overwhelmingly in favor of America First.
It rose to its feet and cheered at each
mention of Lindbergh's name. It booed
when Cudahy referred to the President.
It laughed when Wheeler suggested that
the statues of Britishers throughout the
country be torn down an<l melted into
bullets. It agreed, if we wanted to pre-
serve freedom of the seas, we would do
better to fight Uritiin than (iermany, and

it remained ominously silent w hen Cudahy
said, "I detest Hitler and all his works."
"You Wouldn't Give a Nickel,
Wouldcha?"
Before the inceting we had decided
merely to observe, but during Cudahy's
speech we couldn't restrain ourselves.
We booed when the audience clapped, we
cheered when it hissed. The people
around us soon realized that our colors
were not theirs. During the intermission,
when the hat was passed, the woman next
to us taunted, "You wouldn't give a
nickic, wouldcha?" From then on to the
end of Wheeler's speech, our neighbors
parroted the traditional insults and de-
cayed arguments. "I wish I were in
C.ermany." "What are you. Commu-
nists?" "If you're so an.xious to fight,
why don't you enlist in the R. A. F.;
Koosevelt will give you back your citizen-
ship?" "Just a couple of capitalists."
"If you had four brothers laid in the fields
of France, you wouldn't want to go to
war." "Shut up!" "Vou ought to be in
a concentration camp." The lines along
which these people thought were alarming-
ly evident.
Wheeier, himself, ending his address,
shouted, "To those of you who love Bii-
tain, Russia, and China so much, I say, if
you love them, go over there and live."
Our friends cheered and could not wait to
throw at us, "I guess that'll hold you."
With this we rose and walked over to a
table where America First literature was
being distributed. "This will help you
win your arguments," the man said as he
handed us a jximphlet.
Williams Still Biggest
InterventioniMt Seat
Williams is still the biggest strong-
hold of intercollegiate interventionism
according to all polls taken last
month. Nearly twenty-five per cent
of the 5,548 students covered by one
particular survey favored immediate
declaration of war by the United
States. In answer to that same
question forty-three per cent of
Williams gave its assent. Those
colleges that yielded the 5,548 opin-
ions were Wesleyan, Trinity, fihode
Island State, Springfield, Connecticut
College, New Jersey College for
Women, and Williams.
Latest individual results favoring a
I'. S. declaration of war are:
Princeton 20%
Harvard 20%
\'ale
Dartmouth
21%
33%
Machine Shop Training
AttractsManyMoreThan
Expected ; 41 Enrolled
Originally planned to acconuiiodate
eighteen to twenty seniors and students
holding draft numbers, the mechanical
training course recently organized by
Ralph P. Winch of the physics department,
has gotten under way with forty-one en-
rolled for instruction.
Because of the limited facilities of the
shop, sixteen applicants had to be refused
admission to the course. Only one of these
was a senior, whose application was filed
too late. Three undergraduates other
than seniors or those registered for the
draft have been accepted with the under-
standing that they will help as assistants
in the course next year, should it he con-
tiniued or enlarged. These are C". Stewart
Larc '43, and Harry J. Rendell and John
C. Richmond '44.
The classes, five a week, handling eight
students each, are expected to continue
until March, when the fifteen week period
planned will be over. At that time, should
the demand warrant it, Mr. Winch and
Cieorge E. Woods, laboratory technician,
may extend the course for a smaller num-
ber with a more intensive curriculum.
The course designed to give "a general
knowledge from which a souml specific
skill may be built at some later date"
is run as a one-cut subject. After more
than the one allowed absence, the stu-
dent is automatically dropped and sub-
sequently replaced by one of the appli-
cants previousl>' turned down.
The instruction "is taking hold quite
well" Mr. Winch stated, adding that he
had found no one inx'olvcd so far with
"two hands of all thuiubs." In view of
the present world and national situation,
he further believes that the coursa should
not only be continued next year, but
expantled.

Hitler. Only the Unitetl Slates with its
industrial power and resources can assume
leadership in rebuilding Europe, and can
make the posl-war world a more decent
place to live in." America owns the
Future if she will but assume her rightful
responsibilities in the world conuuunity.
Citing the traditional bulldog spirit of
the Hritish |)e(jple, the aslute political
observer assured the audience that Lng-
land "would never (juit". The govern-
ment and the peoph'," he continued, "are
uiudterably in favor of all out aid" to
Russia and any other nations resisting
Fascist conquest, and "it makes no dilTer-
ence to them whether or not Stalin goes
to church."
Mr. Fischer asserted that Britain might
win the war from the air only if she had
3000 planes to throw at Gernuui\- dail>' for
sixty successive days. This would re-
(|uire 40,000 planes. "40,000 planes pro-
duced in America and England can win the
war and probably will someday," hi'
declared.
Speaking of the Soviet invasion Mr.
hischer placed the blame for current Ger-
man successes chiefh' on bad Red Army
staff work, a direct result of the 1937
.Stalin purge. He augured that the Ger-
man Wehrmacht would smash through the
industrial Dcmet basin, through the Cau-
casian oil fields to the Volga and perhaps
the Urals by the Spring. Pointing to the
German losses of 2,000,000 men or 25 per
cent of the flower of their armed forces, and
also noting the degeneration of German
domestic morale, he expressed the opinion
that rumors of an invasion of Britain could
be discounted.
The factors of German diversion in
Russia, poor home morale, added to con-
tinental discontent and sabotage and the
increasing R. A. F. power if supplemented
by inuuediate American action while the
time is .still ripe can spell the pattern of
victorj- for the democracies, the speaker
predicted.

vi.irs. This will be the dramatic organiza-
tiiin's first production in the Adams
Memorial Theatre since the opening per-
Imiiiances of Eugene O'NciU's spectacle
Mfirco Millions.
Much Ado marks the revival of an old
( ,ip and Bells' custom of putting on at
Ic.ist one Shakespearean play every year,
ll\( last production being King Henry IV,
Part I four years ago in the old Opera
House. Since then, only the Chekhov
Thi-aler Studio's highly entertaining ])res-
.nl.ition of Twelfth Night in October,
1<I10, has been given.
Play o{ Contrast
Written at the height of .Shakespeare's
London career. Much Ado is highlighted
liy the author's mastery of dramatic
suspense -- by his e\-er-present contrast
between comic anil dramatic scenes. It
is a play about love, friendship, and mar-
riage, interspersed with dialogues and
characterizations that are both witt)'
.Hid coarse.
Mrs. Clarence C. Chaflee and Kellogg
.Smith '44 will play the roles of Hero, the
wrongfully accused maiden, and Claudio
iif I'lorence, her impetuous young Italian
lover. The other romantic couple, liene-
dick and Hcatricc, whose piercing \'erbal
dsslus are some of Shakespeare's wittiest
lines, ire portrayed by Lawrence Sladc '44
uiH Mrs. Lawrence H. IJloedel, both

Uncle Kd Bullock fought a highly touted
Wesleyan eleven to a scoreless tie Saturday
morning. Fooling the dopeslers who had
them soundly drubbed on paper, the Wil
Hams booters held off their opponents
through four (piarters and two overtimes
to leavi' the road open for a try al the
Little Three Championship.
Purple Fullbacks Outstanding
The Cardinals, led by their spectacular
captain, center-halfback Muckley, pressed
hard at the visitors' goal but were unable
to make the telling impression, due mainly
to the superlative playing of the fullback
pair. Captain Joe Cochran and Binnie
Barnes, and the Purple goalie. Norm
Lowell.
The scoreless tie is more than a moral
victory for the Williams invaders. Since
the Wesleyan-Amherst score was also a tie,
the November 15 game will necessarily be
the determining contest in the Champion-
ship race. A win over the Sabrinas will
bring the crown to Williamstown.
Coach Bullock made use of a great many
substitutes to keep his best men fresh,
utilizing all but one of the squad's for-

that it is the Republican role to take the
jump on the faltering Administration by
pushing a more aggressive foreign policy,
'his policy would follow the lines laid

Neutrality Act and for a "forthright, direct

I Hitler "by whatever means necessary".
I'ointing to the isolationist Republican

No Predictions
Mr. Davenport would venture no proph-
ecies on the outcome of the conflict
between hidebound Republican isolation-'
ism and the Willkie brand of G. 0. P.
interventionism. "I've quit making pre-
dictions ever since I graduated from college
and predicted that within two years Amer-
ican political parties would be split along
radical-conservative lines," Mr. Daven-
port explained. "I will say, however," he
added, "that the future of the Republican
party does hang in the balance."
Turning to PresWent Roosevelt's de-
fense administration and war policy, Mr.
Davenport emphatically asserted — though
he admitted that he might be somewhat
prejudiced— that "Willkie would have
provided much more effective leadership
than has the President." Mr. Daven-

A chance to take advantage of one of
modern education's latest de\elopments
will be offered on a \-oluntary basis to all
Williams undergraduates by A.ssistant
Dean William G. Perry at 1:00 p.m. in
Goodrich Hall Wednesday The new
plan is a course to increase students'
rate of heading through the use of films
and reading matter especially adapted for
this purpose
Because Dean Perry expects a large
turnout for this instruction, students
wishing to increase their reading capa-
bilities must first take a speed test in
Goodrich, Wednesday afternoon. The
purpose of this test is to select applicants
whose rate of reading shows that they
would best profit from such instruction.
Limited facilities are responsible for IVIr.
Perry's suggesting that only those who are
seriously considering going through with
the course take the examination.
Regular Classes
Regular classes in the subject will meet
at 3:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays for a period of five weeks.
By following such a schedule students will
have ample time to study for midycais
upon completing this training.
A preliminary meeting to explain the
course to those applicants selected will be
held in Goodrich Hall, Monday, November
17, with actual class exercises beginning
the first day after Thanksgiving recess.
If more than forty-five applications are
made the course will be divided into two
sections with the second starting in F'eb-
ruary. Mr. Perry, who will instruct these
classes, stated that there will be a charge
of $5 to cover the expense of equipment.

Twelve seconds before the end of the first
half Herb Holden raced 55 yards into ])ay
dirt on a screen pass from Hayes, game

In the opening minutes of the last frame
two lightning toucluliiwn thrusts, totalling
oiiK' six plays, gave Williams an undi.s-
puted 25-0 decision over tlu' Cardinals oil
the (Golden anniversary of this rivalr) .
Williams' evident superiority in ever\-

Hayes, Schmidt Spearheads
Gunnar Ha\ es was the spearhead iif the
Williams attack, and Mill Schmidt shared
running and passing honors with the elu-

scoring, and his screen pass to HoMen led
to the second tally. Holden weaving

This concentrated drive from the Wil-

whole afternoon. It began with a 16-yard
dash by Hayes and a I layes-W.iUace lo.ss

New Reading Course
Since Septemijer, Mr. Perry has been active in the Dean's Office,
tciichiiif; niulergraduates how to be efficient in studies. And now, to
those men whose slow reading ability niakes them feel they "haven't the
tinu to get good grades," the college will offer a new reading course.
For $5, and fifteen hours of hard work, undergraduates can increase
t heir reading speed as much as 100 words a minute, and can — at the same
time — learn how to get more out of their reading, spend less time in
inefficient study, and jjroduce tietter scholastic results. Undergraduates
who now believe their slow rate of reading is a definite handicap might
well consider making an investment of $5 and fifteen hours.
The Band's Caps and Capes
Revamped and revitalized, this year's band has become one of the
college's respected organizations. Its contribution at every game, and
the important role it played in Friday's Wesleyan rally (the best in years)
make it an essential part of the football season. But no self-respecting
college forces its band members to wear caps and capes as ridiculous as
ours. It wouldn't cost the band a cent to discard its present unifomi.
Harvard and Yale have two of the snappiest bands in large-college circuits.
Their members wefir the sweater and white flannels which every Williams
band member now possesses. A Williams band, dressed in a uniform of
white flannels and black sweaters with Purple Ws (large, plain letters
without any effeminate lyre superimposed on them), would make an
impressive appearance.

Mr. Seeley, the Dean of coaches in the

kept himself in peifect physical condition.
He was classified by doctors as a "medical

years was able to carry on actively, box-
ing a few rounds, going through setting
up drills, skipping rope and out-pointing
many of his students.
Testimonial in 1933
In the words of a testimonial of apprecia-
tion presented to him in June of 1933 by
the President and Alumni, something of
the feeling of his friends towards his ability
not only to build "winning teams", but to
also build men and character is reflected:
"His sound counsel, his friendly comrade-
ship, and — above all — the aiding
influence of his sterling personality have
been among the most valuable and effec-
tive contributions that the college has
made to generations of Williams men."
Loved not only by VVillianis men but
by those of Amherst and Wesleyan, Doc
Seeley received as a tribute from the
Amherst Track Men in 1935 a plaque
commemorating the last Williams-Am-

strongly deprecated Roo.sevell's extrava-
gance in non-defense expenditures. "Will-
kie," he poiiitetl out, "would have effected
many more economies."
Mr. Davenport, however, expressed the
view that the Administration's e.vcess
proli(s lax was a satisfactory measure.
1 he legislatiim gives corporations the op-
tion of deciding whether they will be
assessed on the basis of 95 per ceiU of their
average earnings in the years 19.36 to 1939
or on the basis of 8 per cent of their capital
investment. This measure has been se-
verely criticized in some quarters for per-
mitting certain heavily capitalized com-
panies to maximize their profits. Mr.
Davenport disniisse<l such criticism as
unfounded.
No Profits From War
Citing his experience as Fortune editor,
he declared— "I feel certain that no busi-
nessman wants to make nione>' out of this
war, and what's more I don't think any-
body is going to make anything from it."
"Businessmen merely want to make sure,"
he a<lded, "that we keep the rudiments of
the profit system during the war in order
that we may keep it after the war." Mr.
Davenport expressed assurance that the
American system of free enterprise would
survive the war.
Mr. Davenport was (|uestioned on the
significance of the Spring Fortune poll of
15,000 business executives which revealed
a strong flavor of appeasement; only 10.6
per cent were sure they would not "do
business" with a victorious Hitler. "That
was eight months ago," declared the
Fortune editor. "Today I'm sure business-
men are aware of the threat <if fascism.
Businessmen are willing to co(jperate in the
emergency, but Roosevelt's inefficient
defense administration is not making their
cooperation effective. "

The Flavor Lasts
A fast-breaking freshman soccer com-
bine outran the slightly favoreil Wesleyan
crew at Middletown Saturday to chalk up
a 4-1 victory and take the commanding
position in the Little Three race. At the
same time, the yearling gridmeii, starting
out at a terrific pace, bogge<l down, and
were finally overcome, 14-13, in the closing
minutes of the game.
Displaving the year's best form, the
booters grabbed an ea ly lead when Beany
King.sbury dribbled around the opposing
fullback and drilled the ball past the goalie.
From then on it was all Williams, except
for a brief ofTensivc flurry in the third
period which netted the Wesmen their only
tally.
Seelbach Nets Two
Larry Smith and Bernie Seelbach also
converted before the half, and Seelbach
came back again in the fourth stanza to
head the ball into the goal, after Cory
Wickersham's corner kick had been re-
layed to him by Denny Volkmann.
In the first five minutes of the football
game it appeared that the Cardinal year-
lings were set for a repetition of the 46-0
drubbing that they suffered at the hands of
Amherst two weeks ago. Em Herndon
set up the first score when his quick kick
from deep in Purple territory went out of
bounds on the Wesmen's ten-yard stripe.
After the Redbircis had booted back to
midfield, the freshmen began a sustained
march, climaxed by Hernilon's 25-yard
sweep around right end behind beautiful
blocking.
Then followed a series of plaxs that was
(See SOCCER page 4)

(Continued from page 1)
of scoring opportunities they had in last
week's Hamilton game, but they did show
a material improvement in technique
Early in the game, a large pile-up in
front of the goal gave the Williams rooters
an exciting moment as the Cardinal goalie
had been drawn out of position and a lucky
kick was all that was necessary to turn the
balance. Though this attempt came to
nought, the identical situation occurred at
the opposite end of the field later during
the game, with Lowell scrambling to get
back into position. Captain Cochran,
however, broke up the melee and emerged
with the ball to clear his territory.
Brown Almost Scores
The one other close try for the Purple
occurred late in the game when Bruce
Brown received a long pass down the field
on his left wing and headed unhampered
for the Wesleyan nets. He was called
back by the referee, however, on an off-
side ruling.
though the second half of the game was
pretty definitely Wesleyan's, the two five-
minute overtime periods were very even,
and quite characteristic of the whole game,
which was not a spectacular encounter by
any means. Phe result was the one in-
spiring feature of the game; the first shut-
out for Wesle>an this season, and an upset
over last year's New England Champions.

WESLEYAN GAME
(Continued from page 1)
consecutive bull's-eye from Schmidt's pass-
ing arm. From here to the final whistle
the game was more evenly contested as
Coach Caldwell made free use of his long
line of reserves.
Cardinal captain Jim Carrier played a
magnificent defensive game and contin-
ually threatened with his passes, but his
lone stand was not enough, especially with
Wesleyan ends muffing his best offerings.
The lack of reserves began to tell on the
home team in the second half, although the
Fesler-coached eleven showed spirit and
drive throughout the game.
Powers Sets Stage
Bud Tewksbury gavi> another .sensa-
tional kicking exhibition and Tom Powers
showed himself not far behind the soph-
omore booter. Powers kicked out oi
bounds on the Wesleyan 5-yard line to set
the stage for Hayes' first touchdown
sprint. Tewksbury produced the long-
distance kick of the season with a terrific
boot from his own ten to the Wesleyan
fourteen-yard line. Carrier and the Wes-
leyan line, however, broke through to
block two Purple kicks.
With The Waterboy
Amherst scouts sitting in the press box
were looking none too happy as Hayes,
Schmidt, and Holden demonstrated their
talent as breakaway runners to match
Bobby Blood.
Thirt>- Williams players saw action
Saturday, and their performance showed
that there is no such lack of reserve
strength as in the Princeton game.
Amherst nosed out the Cardinals 16-7
two weeks ago on Pratt Field.

game. Carl Gruber dropped back from
his tackle slot and split the crossbars with
a pt!rfect placement. However, the year-
lings were penalized fifteen yards on the
play (or illegal use o( the hands.
With the ball on the 17-yard stripe,
John Brown's attempted drop kick went
wide, but since Wesleyan was off side on the
play, the 1945 team received a third
chance to convert. This opportunity went
for nought, though, when Larr\' Brashcar's
pass was knocked down.
Brashears Tallies
A minute later, after a long drive. Brash-
ears tallied for the j'earling's second score
on a IS-yard reverse around the left flank.
Gruber again place-kicked a strike.
Finding that they could not gain
through the Ejih's forward wall, the Wes-
men took to the air, and it was via this
route that they scored, once in the third
(luarter and finally with about five minutes
remaining in the game. Both conversions
were successful, although the game-win-
ning placement was grazed by one of the
Purple linemen.
With time running short, Williams
started its aerial attack and Les Johnston
completed three in a row to Brown, bring-
ing the ball from deep in the yearling's
territory up to the Wesle\an 30-yard line.
Here a Cardinal back intercepted another
Johnston pass, and one play later the final

READING
(Continued from page 1)
Williams is the first other institution to
use it in this particular form. Its principle
is first to increase eye speed and then to
etiuatc comprehensive abilities with eye
motion. Dean Perry explained that at
each class films will be shown which are
"designed to increase eye span, to pre\ent
regressions, and to control eye movements
by reducing the number of fixations per
line." This is all done by teaching stu-
dents to see words in groups rather than
visualizing them individually. Compre-
hension tests will accompany each film.
Object to Increase Speed
.Speed passages of equal clilficulty will
be given at class meetings so that in
dividual improvement can be recorded.
Other comprehensive tests of increasing
difficulty will include excerpts from college
te.\tbooks. Eventually, the course will
take up training in skimming, outlining,
and in separating irrele\'ant from relevant
material.
Mr. Perry stated that Harvard stu-
dents taking these exercises have shown
an average improvement in rate of read-
ing from 210 to 310 words per minute and
that large corporations are now planning
to use this medium in training entire
office staffs in efficiency.

Purple Minutemen Capture Paint Squadron;
Amherst Sidewalk Artists Sadly Mop Up
If you've ever seen some blue-bottomed
baboons scraping Imnana skins on the
floor (if their cage, you have a fair idea of
how eleven Amherst men looked last
Tuesday night when their "paint up
Williamstown" plot backhn'd. and they
were forced to scrub their own "Jeffs" and
"Amhersts" off the W'illianistown streets.
As a pre luili to a night-fought action
that would have done credit to Colonel
Eph Williams himself, alarming whispers
came in over the Berkshire grapevine from
points south and west at about two in the
morning. Around the dark snowy Bill-
burg streets went the word, "The Jeffs are
coming!" and even the license numbers and
car models of the Sabrina pioneers were
shortly in the air.
Morgan, Hall, Leaders
First to be roused from bed were Cy
Morgan and Mit Hall, who worked their
way towards Jesup gathering on the way
such stalwarts as they might. Al James
was contacted in the <iua<l an<l came with
a group of three or four freshmen. Morgan
Hall was aroused by a self-appointed
recruiting oflicer who travelled about in a
cloud of cigar smoke shaking out all the
inmates whose lights were lit.
By the time forty had gathered at the
12:40 center, a nuclear group had been
organized to intercept the incoming arniy
aiid follow it tv) town. When the scene of
its operations had been determined, the
group was to send a runner to summon the
shock troops lying in wait at Jesup.
Acting on a last triumphant tip from the
grapevine, a earful was sent out to meet
the Jeffers coming in from North Adams.
It followed them into town but lost them
as they separated to go into action.
Amherst Heads for Bennington
The first operations discovered were on
Park Street, midway between the Theta
Dclt house and the Faculty Club, where
one of the attacking s(|uads was busy
painting a large "Amherst" on the asphalt.

Wary Jeffs Gird For
Eph Assault on Sabrina
Fearing Williams retaliation lor
Tuesday's thwarted raid, Jeff uniler-
classmen covered all roads leading to
Amherst with a guard of students dis-
guised as state troopers last Wednes-
day and Thursda\' nights. The
"state troopers" were prepared to
halt all Williams cars, arrest the
drivers for speeding, and force them
to park by the side of the road for two
hours, allowing Amherst time to pre-
pare for the raid.

Sports Editor. The Amiitisl SInilcnl
Preparing for the .S8th annual game in
the time-honored rivalr>" between Am-
her.st and Williams Coach Lloyd P.
Jordan has been putting his squad through
intensive drills in an effort to bring Ani-
her.st back into the win column of the
Williams series and also to annex its first
Little fhree championship since i9i9.
Although the Johnston Trophy is ofiicially
no longer in existence, it too can be con-
sidered as something at stake for it g(H\s
without saying that the Jeffs are out to
establish their superiority in the year's
athletic competition.
For the information of Williams fans
and prognosticators, it might be well to
dwell for a moment on the record of the
Sabrina team to date. When practice
was called on Septendier 3, Coach Jordan's
main problem seemed to lie in shaping
adequate reserves. All indications point-
ed toward a fast and moderateh' powerful

Experienced Line, Tricky

by CouiiT WnrriN '43
A fast, hard-billing Williams eleven
which has .swept all opposition before it in
six out of .seven games comes to grips with
Amherst on W'eston I'ield tomorrow before
a sell-out House Party crowd with hopes
riding high to keep the Little Three crown
in Williamstown for another year.
The Purple steam roller has piled up a
total of 163 points against 27 for their
opponents, 20 of which came al the hands
of Princeton. Tufts is the only small
college team to break intt) the scoring
ciilunm, and the Jumbos were decisively
s(iuashed, 34-7. Middlehury, North-
eastern, Bowdoin, Union, and Wesleyan
failed to cross the Purple goal line.
Princeton is the only black mark on a
clean slate.
Holden Leads Team
Fullback Herb Holden will he game-
captain for the season's finale, the last of
eight seniors to fill the shoes of missing
Captain Jack llaly. Also pla\ ing th.lr
last game for the Purple are Kd Callahan.
Mit Hall, Marsh llannock, Al Hearne,
Johnny Irwin, Cy Morgan, and Hu
Oswald, seniors who have been the back
bone of this year's top-notch eleven. A
victory over Ainhersl will crown as suc-
cessful a season as any in Williams history.
Purple Line Well-Balanced
Caldwell will pit a well-balanced team
against the Jnrdan-roached Sabrinas to-
morrow-. The line is heavy and esperi-
enced, with ends Hearne and Boh Wallace
top-notch both defensively an<l as pass
receivers. Bill Schmidt, Gunnar lla\es,
and Haimock have been tossing hiill's-eye
passi-s all ov<'r the field this season, and
these men are fast, dangerous broken-field
runners, Holden is the answer to any
coach's dream for a shifty, hard-hiding
fullback with three \ears of varsity ex-
perience behind him. Bud Tcwksliur\'
can inatch hoots with an\' kicker in the
East, and Tom Powers is not far behind
in this department.
Fresh from whitewashing Wesle\an
25-0 last wec'k. Coach Charlie Caldwell's
eleven will be on the right side of the
betting odds, hut odds signify less than
nothing in a wide-open Williams-.'Vinherst
battle. Sounding an ondnous note from
Amherst, Captain Tom Mulrox- says his
team is "more keyed up than I have ever
seen it, and we will be gunning for vic-
tory... No matter what the outcome,
your team will know it has played a ball
game."
Amherst Beaten Twice
Before last week's 13-8 setback from an
unbeaten, untied Trinity outfit, Amher.st's
record had been marred onK- hy a 47-7
shellacking from Dartmouth. .Amherst
has not won a Williams game for two years;
so the Sabrinas were probably saving them-
selves against Trinity in favor of to-
morrow's contest. A tight 16-7 derisi(ni
over Wesle>an is the first Little Three
victory for the Lonl JcfTs since l')38.
Secret practices have kept the Purple
squad working late hir the past four da\ s
as Coach Caldwell pulls a few last-niinule
tricks out of the bag — something that
the JelT scouts won't have in their note-
books. Reserve teams have been running
through Amherst plays to give the varsity
defensive practice.
Eph Lina-Up Indefinite
The Eph line-up is still indefinite, but
the starting team should be much the
same as last week. Coach Caldwell

WMS To Throw Party
At 3:00 Saturday Morn
Johnny Long Interview
Other Special Feature
"WMS, the powerful little six-watter
up in Jesup, will interview Johnny Long,
and throw a terrific party Saturday morn-
ing, but we're really just going to cele-
brate the weekend quietly," said William
R. Witherell, '43 Program r)irector, last
night. "Only a limited number of people
can fit in our studios, even at three in the
morning."
Long To Be Interviewed
Johnny Long, leader of Friday night's
dance band, will be interviewed by
Witherell at 5:15 that evening over WMS
airwaves. "It is possible that Long's
vocalist, Helen Young may be on hand to
say a few words to Williams weekenders.
A great deal of efifort is going into this
interview to make it as colorful and in-
teresting as possible."
High note of the weekend will be struck
at WM.S' party, (no stags allowed) in,
over and around the studios at 3:00 Sat-
urday morning, when Williams' dates will
get a chance to get a word in edgewise.
"Educational topics, thai is, academic
topics, ma>- be slightly overlooked at this
point in the discussion, but it is certain
that we will get around totbefundainental
interests of most Williams men. Strict
censorship and choice of ideas may be
slighted but it will be colorful, colorful,"
said Witherell.
Invitation Open To All
Loyal listeners of WMS will have the
opportunity at last to see the station from
the inside when they bring their dates up
to the to|) of Jesup Saturday. The official
invitation is not yet out but a proiluctiim

Much Ado About Nothing is, as Shake-
speare's apt title indicates, some two and a
half hours of sparkling wit, rowdy humor,
romantic burlesque, dainty devices, and
less daint\' trickery — all of which accom-
plish exactly nothing. The two pairs of
lovers are enamored when the play begins,
and they are still just this side of the altar
standards brought about by the passing
of three centuries. In last night's per-
formance, Dogberry was too zealously
overplayed. I^eonato and Hero were loo
sincerely tragic in scenes which should
have been played so that the audience
never once doubted that things would
come right in the end. Several characters.
at the end. The play is magnificent I in the earlier scenes particularly, enun-
theatre — everything is done for effect and ciated so carelessly that their lines were
for the audience's delight. It is comedy
and the audience is meant to know it is
comedy. In last night's performance at
the Adams Memorial Theatre what
Shakespeare intended was not always
achieved; the comedy was sometimes
obscured, but there were moments, even
whole scenes, when the play came through
clear and true.
Dogberry may think, but not Shake-
speare, that "Comparisons are odious;"
certainly no critic could get along without
them, nor will this one try. The use of a
unit set is to be commended, and the one
against which the play was performed was
excellent — appropriately simple and sug-
gestive. The stained glass window which
marred the two church scenes was un-
happily extraneous. For one thing, it
added too much realism to scenes already
too .seriously played to fit into the comic
mood of the play. Dancing should be
suggestive of joy and the holiday mood;
the dance at the end of the play was half-
hearted and so prolonged as to be anti-
climactic. The music, it seems to me,
should have had more volume. The
vocal music was rendered in the true spirit
of the play, though even there more light-
ness and gaiety would not be amiss.
If a play is perfectly performed, the
crit ic is often at a loss in making comments
on individual actors. I am sorry that I
find it relatively easy to single out indi-
viduals and even particular scenes in
which those individuals appeared as the
highlights of the play. It is, however,
difficult to decide whether direction or
interpretation or acting was the reason for
my being unmoved by other performers
and other scenes. Since Dogberry, for
instance, has not seemed funny to me in
last night's performance or in either of two
1 had seen earlier, I suspect the blame may
be mine, or .Shakespeare's, or the fact
accounted for by the change in humorous

lost. It was a joy to hear Claudlo's voice
ring out clear and vibrant. All too seldom
was the audience aware when the dialogue
was in verse. Throughout 1 should have
liked more lightness of touch, more feeling
for words and neatly turned phrases, more
truly comic reading of the lines. It was
when the play had these, and in many
scenes they were there, that it moved
swiftly and amusingly. There were few
scenes in which the pace might not well
have been more rapid.
Since Much Ado is their play, it is fitting
that Beatrice and Benedick should be
saved for the last. Benedick began hesi-
tantly but after his lir.st appearances let
himself go, and was riotously witty and
amusing. The part calls for letting one-
self go. Beatrice was, as the play demands,
the saving grace in ever\' instance, keen,
and pert, and saucy — occasionally' so
saucy as to den>' the audience part of her
lines, but always sure to make up for it
with a sly and impudent gesture. The

McLaren's Own Group
Working with Faculty
Acting on |Hnver delegated to him by the
Undergraduate Council Cyrus N. Morgan
'42 appointed a three-man committee
Monday of Willard C. Hatch, Jr., Arthur
A. Richmond, Jr., and Alexander M.
-Swain, Jr. '42 to promote the sales of
defense savings bonds in the under-
graduate body. In the meantime the
faculty group, formed three weeks ago,
has swung into action under the leader
ship of Chairman Walter W. McLaren.
Swain, who heads the student com-
mittee, stated that the first move of his
group will be to confer with Professor
McLaren so that some coordinated cam-
paign might be developed between the two
bodies. Mr. McLaren, who headed the
campaign for the sale of liberty bonds in
Williamstown during World War I is of
the opinion that the two bodies should
"work in close harmony," yet each com-
mittee should look after its own field
individually.
At the last faculty meeting Mr. Mc-
Laren urged professors to purchase de-
fense stamps and bonds. His committee
of Professors Donald H. Richmond and
Alan Sweezy has already decided to send
out circulars to the faculty and the
administration in the near future. These
circulars would ask the receiver to pledge
so much towards the purchase of bonds.
These bonds may be bought at various
prices with ten-year appreciation.

The
Letter to Editors
III Re Last Tuesday Night
To the liditors iif Tun Kicciiud:
Receiill\' we Amliersl men were abso-
lutely (luiiibfoumlid to hear that some
ruffians had tried to paint up the Williams
bicaeheis. Piut we were e\en more
startled and disnuiyed to hear that the
men of Williams were lilaminn their sister
college for the dastardle act of last
Tuesday night.
We wish to assert that no Amherst man
would pull a rotten trick like that. We
admit with regret thai Williams did throw
a lot of paint around here hist >'ear,
but we certainly wouldn't think of copy-
ing you. Even if we had contemplated
painting up the Williams campus, we
certainly wouldn't have been so stupiil
to let our plans lie known before going up
there. Hesides, if Amherst men had been
in Williainstown Tuesday night, they
could easily have taken care of the small
grotip of WilHams men who wtnild have
turned out to stop them.
No Amherst man has ever gotten down
on his knees to a Williams man. In all
friendship, yon must admit that no Wil-
liams man or group of Williams men could
easily capture a group of .Amherst painters,
had any Amherst man contemplated such
a repiehensible stunt as happened in
Williainstown Tuesday.
We've always considered Williams men
to be on the same level with and etiual to
Andierst men. Vet when we find Wil-
liams men accusing the members of their
sister college of an act for which they
have no evidence, wc feel we must protest
fiercely.
Very truly yours,

(Continued from page 3)
"All invited." The program, correspond-
ing to girl quizzes of former years, will be
generally unplanned and left to Fate as to
the course the discussion will follow.
Other programs will be run on regular
schedule save for the Friday Musical
Nightcap which conflicts with the formal
dance. The station will not broadcast at
all on Saturday evening but will be on the
air Monday at their regular time.
C\rus N. Morgan '42, president of the
Undergraduate Council, released last
Tuesday the official regulations adopletl
by the U. C. to govern the activities of
students and their guests during house
party weekend.
The college regulations compel all stu-
dents that intend to have, girls in theii
dormitory rooms to register at the Dean's
Office. Guests will be allowed in the
rooms from 1 1 :00 a.m. to 7 p.m. and at nii
other times.
List of Regulations
The following rules have been drawn up
by the Council for Amherst weekend am
will apply to all undergraduates as we
as alumni:
"1. The head of each house is asked to
cooperate with the Floor Committee from
the Undergraduate Council in assuming
responsiliility for the contluct of the mem-
bers of his bouse at all dances.
"2. It is understood that the conduct ol
students at the houses will be adequately
regulated by the individual organization.
"3. There shall be gentlemanly conduct
at all times at all dances.
"4. Each house shall submit to the
Undergraduate Council list.s including the
name of every girl attending the weekend
dances, the place where each will sta\',
and the names of the chaperones.
"5. Girls are allowed to be in the college
dormitories from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and at
no other time.
"6. Any case of individual violation of
these rules may be under the jurisdiction
of the Undergraduate Council and, if
necessary, be referred to the Coinniitlee
on Discipline of the College.
"7. A eop\- of these regulations shall lie
sent to all houses."
WEEKEND
(Continued from page I)
that the evening will still be young.
At 8:30 p. m. tonight Cap and liells will
make its olTering to the festivities through
the production of Much Ado About Nothing
in the AMT. Acclaimed by some critics
as the most brilliant of Shakespeare's
comedies, it is supported b\' a east of
twenty-oni'. live of whom arc factil
\v i\-es.
Gym Equals Parisian Cafe
From the AMT the scene of action shifts
to tlie Lasell Cymnasiuin. Johnny Long's
Duke band with Helen Nouiig doing the
vocals will take o\er for five hours of
formal ilaneing midst an arrtiy of awnings,
lampposts, and French doors that has
trarisfornicd the Gym into ii Parisian cafe.
Another iio\elty is the eoiii|)ctitioii for
"best house party girl" with the winner's
escort getting all his weekend expenses
paid. At the 3:00 a. m. curfew WMS will
take to the air with free beer and lots of
party for all coujiles in the studio.
For the early morning riser who really
wants to do the weekend up right there
are three games at Cole Field Saturday
morning. At 10:30 a. ni. the varsity iind
freshman soccer teams will start to go
after Amherst shins and the yearling
eleven will tackle a powerful Sabrina
squad.
Game Seats All Sold Out
•Since Graduate Manager of Athletics
Albert W Osterhout '06 ann.iunced that
tickets to the Williams-Amherst game were
sold out long ago and that he expects a
record crowd here tomorrow the parade
down Main Street is sure to be the biggest
one since 193.S when 9,000 fans storm on to
Weston Field. At tomorrow's game the
memorable Williams-Amherst struggle of
oughty-ought will be reenacted by Wilson
Uarnes, Jr. '42 and troupe during the
half. Another betwcen-the-haK-es feature
will be the bagpiping of Johnny Row-
trotham who will make his initial appear-
ance of the year having recently repaired
his appar,atus with a blowout patch.
Music continues to take the limelight
with Bunny Berigan playing at a tea dance
in the Gym after the game. Continuation
of this innovation in years to come de-
pends on the crowd attracted to it to-
morrow. As for Saturday night's dance —
it will be the same Parisian Cafe setting as
the night before, only Berigan will be
giving out with his / Can't Get Started
With You. Both afternoon and evening
dances are informal with the music stop-
ping at 6:00 p. m. and 12:00 p. m. respec-
tively.
Friday and Saturday nights will sec
Spring Street wide open until 2:00 a. m,
and later in some cases. Mr. Milham
reports that on neither of these nights will
the moon be large enough to make looking
for it worthwhile.

Reading Class Starts
Monday In Goodrich
Open to all undergraduates who ha\'e
received letters from Assistant-Dean Wil-
liam Ci. Perry to the effect that their read-
ing test show they would benefit by taking
the instruction, a preliminary session of
the course to improve reading abilities
will be held in 4 Cioodrich at .^00 p. ni.
Monday. The purpose of the meeting is
to explain the method of instruction by
demonstrating some of the films and read-
ing material that is to be used.
After the showing of a film on eye
motion Dean Perry will attempt to arrange
students' schedules to fit in with the hours
of the class. If enough applicants show
up two sections will be formed with the
latter one probably starting in February.
Regular classes in this training start the
first Monday after Thanksgiving and will
be run for five weeks on Mondays, Wed-
nesdays, and Fridays.

For Soccer Crown
Greatly Improved Purple
To Meet Undefeated
Amherst on Cole Field
hy NioN K. TncKEB, Jn., '44
Coach I nek' Ed Bullock plans to un-
leash the- sanu- starting line-up that held
\\'esle\'aii at l)a\ last week aRainst Am-
herst soccer eleven on Cole Field tomorrow
niornini-. This last and crucial battle for
the Little Three Soccer Championship
will he the tcmRhest the Purple has entered
this season.
Cliniaxint; a year of had breaks, the
Williams soccer s(iuad is looking towards
a victory over their traditional rivals,
basinj; their hopes on the large improve-
ment and creditable showiiij; made against
Wesleyan in Middletown last week.
Weak Attack Hampers Purple
The main drag oil the Purple's power
has been a weak attack. The trouble
stems from iiii early season blow that stole
Coach Bullock's threi> best forwards.
Johnny Gibson, returning letterman, seri-
ously sprained his ankle and has bem
kepi off the field until eaH\- this week,
and George Simson, efficient left wing,
tore a muscle that is still not completely
healed.
Wilhin a week of these injuries, Kiyo
'I'urumi, the Purple's nimble right wing,
received an order to return to Tokio for a
|)h\sical examination required by the
terms of the new Nipponese c(mscriplion
law.
Since these losses, Bullock has been
hard set to fill ihi' gaps in the forward litU';
the main troubh' is no deficiency of in-
dividual skill, but a real lack of uni(y and
concerted punch. The constani switch-
ing that has been necessary to find the
best combination has made this lack a real
problem.
Brown Converted to Forward
With the conversion of fullback Bruce
Brown to the left outside position, and
the placing of sophcmiores Hill Brewer,
George Crandall, Boh Bensen, and Hugh
Masters acrn.ss the front line, the Purple
coach seems to have found a good work-
ing group. This attack changed, in one
week's practice, from five good soccer
pla\ers to a forward line gciiid enough to
w(irr\- the goal of last year's New England
Champions during most of the Middle-
town game. From this last week's work-
out, Bullock expects them to beconte an
A-1 scoring combination.
Main.sla\ of Ihe Williams booters will
be the fullback combination of Captain
Joe C<ichran and Binnie Barnes, both of
them exp<'rts at keeping the pay dirt
cleared during critical moments. Barnes'
playing against V\'esleyan was nothing
short of exceptional, while Cochran's
slead> playing is becoming proverbial
with thes(|uadand its followers. Behind
these two, guarding the goal, is Norm
Lowell, veteran keeper of the nets.
Between the defense and the new for-
ward line are center halfbacks Larry

changed his mind three times before iho
opening whistle of the Wesleyan niuiic;
so it's hard to tell. Al Hearnc, who has
played in every game for three years, is a
sure bet for one flank, and Bob Wallace
will be on the other. Oswald, mentioned
as Ail-American material, will be sta-
tionarj- tackle, and Satch Lare scenis the
best bet for the other tackle slot with
Coby Wilson and Callahan in reserve,
Johnny Sliegman or Ralph Renzi will
pair up with Hall as guards on either -.id,.
of rugged center Bill Courter, who has
sensationally filled the hole left by Daly's
absence.
Excepting Holden at fullback, backfielil
starters are still indefinite, but indicat juris
point to Morgan as quarterback with
breakiiway runners Guimar Hayes and
Bill Schmidt or Marsh Hannock al the
halfback posts. Powers and Downs will
be on hand for plenty of action, with Huil
Tewksbur\' to help in the kickin^; de-
partment.

Re: Tomorrow's encounter with lie'
Sabrina
Those happy-go-lucky gri<lders at .Ar-
kansas A. and M. have come up with a
manoeuvre that you might very well ,iild
as a novelty act to the coming Andirrsi
engiigement.
Against Bradley Tech, the Aggies lined
up for a kick-off with the man who |ire-
sumably was going to kick down undei Ids
own goal posts. Me took off like a luii-
away locomotive, charged up the field al
a tremendous speed — and fell flat on his
face on the 30-yard line. At that insl.ini
one of his teammates kicked the ball, a
short one which A. and M. recovered as a
successful onside kick, gaining a lirst
down in Bradley Territory.

familiar lalc-nts of Captain Tom Mulroy
and Bobby Blood. In the opener against
Bates, the attack was slow to get moving

newly actiuired passing ability, the Bates-
men went down to the tune of 31 to 7.
The following week saw the Amherst club
hopelessly outclassed bv Dartmouth 47

can be made between the two schools by
looking at scores, and, as is only too well
known, it is hard to pick the outcome of
such a game since nnjst anything is apt
to happen. Injuries as always have been
a hindrance to the AmhersI sqtiad bul
this weekend should find the squad at top
strength. The AmhersI ends will be
strcmg and will [jrovide trouble for their
opponents. Bill Smythe and Bud Hasse
will fill those positions with Bob Johnson,
Bill Morrow and Bob Agnew as capable
reserves. At tackle will he "Kollo"
Smith and Jack Heald with Verne Wil-
liams and Dick Major backing them up.
Sid Peck and Ken Hardy are probable
choices at guard with Dick Kimball and
Jack Lindsay also possibilities. Bcb
O'Connor will be back in action at center
with "Red" Thomas due to see action also.
In the backfield, most anything is apt
to happen as far as the starting lineup
goes, but it is a cinch that Blood and
Mulroy will play a good part of the time
at left half and full back respectively.
Bob Agnew and diminutive Chick Koebel
will trade oflf at the other halfback post
while Perry Sawyer is the probable starter
at quarter. Other backs due for action
are sophomore Jim Carey, Obie Slinger-
land, Johnny Wilder and Bill Hart.

Eph Harriers Seek
Little Three Title
Hope to Upset Favored
Wesleyan; Lord Jeffs
in Role of Underdogs
With Wesleyan a favorite to retain its
1 itle, Amherst the underdog, and Williams
east in the role of a 'dark horse', Coach
Tony Plansky's cross-country team jour-
neys to the home of the Lord Jeffs 4:00
|). m. Friday afternoon in an effort to re-
irain its Little Three title lost to the Wes-
iiien last season.
According to a comparative-score yaril-
stick, the Amherst entrants are due to have
.1 tough time of it. Their 1 7-44 loss to a
Springfield crew which in turn was de-
uated by the Cardinals 26-29, points the
i\ay to the probability of a battle between
Williams and Wesleyan with Amherst out
n the cold.
Williams Line-up
ICntering as practically the same team
liat captured the championship last year,
he Wesleyan aggregation is led by Cap-
ain Holmes, winner of the 1940 race, with
erguson and Giza coinpleting a powerful
rii). Opposing this combine, Coach
i'lansky will fieltl a well-balanced team led
iv the quintet of Dave Brown, Brew
I'hapnian, Maurrie Goodbody, Captain
Hcdi Griggs, and Ken Moore which nego-
liated a clean sweep at Union two weeks
iiio. Art Richmond and Ed Shefiield are
ls{i likely to place well up in front for the
I'urple.
Since its l.S-4() shellacking of I'nion on
\civeinber 1, the Williams harriers have
liien going through a set of rigorous work-
ails, with special emphasis on hill work
>ncl time trials, in pre|)aration for the
■u])-hill-down-dale" Amherst course. The
nid\' casualty thus far for th<- I'urple has
lieeii a slightly sprained ankle suffered by
Itrew Chapman <'arl\- this week. Chap-
ni.in feels, however, that, barring all niis-
liaps, this misfortune should make no
■ lilTi-rence in his running ability.
Williams will go into the triangular meet
with two weeks of stiff practice under
iludr belts and a record of two wins, over
linion and Middlelmry, and one lo.ss, to
Vermont, behind them. Wesleyan boasts
viet<iries over Springfield and Coast
C.nanl, a 23-.^2 loss to Yale, and second
ipl.iee in the C(mnecticut Valley Cham-
pi(Miships held last iVIonday.
Williams Flying Club's
Field Approved Monday
Foundations to be Laid
for New Hangar Soon
With the certification of their new air-
porl by Massachusetts Director of Avia-
lidu, John W. Lasell '20, on Monday, the
Williams Flying Club realized another
important step in their planned increased
.letivity.
.'\ided by a borrowe<l bulldozer, the
' hdi metiibers have completed their main
I nnway and are preparing to pour the
' "iicrete for the foundations of the new
' ingar. Whether or not negotiations for
I he long sought hangar are successful in
he near future, the foundations will be
^ ill as soon as possible.
For this year, the Flying Club plans to
! irticipate in at least three meets between
Williams, Amherst and Smith, one of
hich will be held in the winter, the others
■1 the spring.
.\lso in the spring will come the Inter-
'llegiate Air Meet, featuring the c(mi-
vlition of at least six other entrants.
IN illiams was able to place fourth in this
"eel last year, and, by dint of its in-
riased size and the large growth of
'Uerest in flying, hopes to finish even
' l"ser to the top this spring
Go Get 'Em, Williams— If You Can, Amherst
Wesleyan Coach Wes Fesler Gives Purple
Eleven Undisputed Edge over Lord Jeffs
Williams' well-oiled football machine should have little trouble in subduing
Amherst in the Little Three title match on Weston Field Saturday, according to
Wesleyan's head coach Weslej- Fesler, interviewed after last Saturday's game.
Coach Fe.sler is in a position to know what he is talking about, since his team has had
unsuccessful contact with both elevens.
Williams Better 'All-round'
"From the performances of both teams
against Weslejan," said the Cardinal

forward wall that asserted itself in the
16-7 decision over Weslexan. In this
first Little Three tilt it was their line that
gave the Lord Jeffs the margin of victorj'

a safety. Wesleyan held the Sabrinas at
7-7 for the first half, and narrowly missed
another score when the half ended with
the ball on the Amherst two-yard line.

The Turn on Title Clash
Coach Lloyd Jordan :
"A football contest is most difficult to
predict. Your Williams team has proven
outstanding during the season with plenty
of speed, power, and ability; in fact, they
looked to be one of the outstanding teams
■n New England this fall, so we look for-
ward to playing our best and hope we can
make it a typical Little Three contest."
Captain Tom Mulroy:
"We are not in the habit of making any
predictions before a ball game. The team
is more keyed up than I have ever seen it,
and we will be gunning for victor\- on
November 15. Just let me say that no
matter what the outcome, your team will
know it has pla\ed a ball game."
Coach Charlie Caldwell:
"It'll be like any Little Three game.
Pre-game dope just doesn't mean a thing.
The outcome will be decided tomorrow
afternoon right clown on Weston Field."
Captain Herb Holden:
"We have the team to beat Amherst,
so all we need now is a good day and the
proper determination."
Chaffee Primes Yearling Booters to Win
Little Three Trophy Tomorrow Morning
Underdog Eph Gridders Meet Powerful, Undefeated
Sabrina Eleven in Attempt to Deadlock Series
Successful to the tune o( 4-1 against Wesleyan last Saturday, Coach Clarence
C. Chaffee's yearling soccer combine is favored to round out an undefeated season
tomorrow morning at 10:30 on Cole Field when it clashes with the Lord Jeff booters
in an attempt to regain the Little Three title lost last year. At the same time

out to scalp an undefeated, untied, and unscored upon Sabrina eleven.

Purple Defeated Choate
The Pur|)le's record for the season has
been decidedly mediocre, with only a 7-6
triumph over Choate on the bright side of
the ledger. In their other two encounters,
the Ephs have lost out because of a failure
to convert points after touchdowns.
Norwich took them into camp, 7-6, while
Wesleyan, the eleven whom the Sabrinas
smeared, 46-0, defeated them, 14-13,
despite three penalty-awarded attempts
for the conversion after the first tally.
Knox Calls Signals
Signal-caller Andy Knox and Charlie
Wheeler appear to be Snively's choices
for starting (lankmen, with big Art Vorys
and Carl Gruber at tackle. Gordon
Johndroe has one of the guard berths
clinched, but Fred Wardwell and Bill
Rossell are scrapping for the other.
John Glasgow will fill the running center
post.
The starters behind this line are not
definite as yet with Howie Adams, Larry
Brashears, John Brown, Ev Gidley, Les
Johnston, Em Herndon, and Bill Elder all
due to see plenty of action.
With a record of two setbacks in as
many starts, the yearling cross-country
men go down to Amherst this afternoon
as a decided underdog in their attempt to
regain the Little Three championship
that the 1944 harriers copped last fall.

in the goal.
Beany Kingsbury and Elliott Stearns

at present. The rest of the line remains
intact, having Cory Wickershani at right
outside, Bernie Seelbach and Bill Eyre as

Williams Guns For 34th Victory In
Ancient Rivalry; Amherst Its 21st
"A cow is a vers' good animal in tlu* field, but we kick her out <if our garden."
When Sam Johnson uttered these derogalor\' words of wisdom, he never fancied
a cow that might be contented with superiority in the field. But when
Williams' lioggling bovine seeks its thirt\ -fourth victory against Amherst's naked
nymph tonioncjw she will not be striving for horticultural finesse.
Rivalry Started 1884
.Since Williams started its rivalry with
Amherst way back in 1884, the Purple has
accumulated a batting average of .622,
winning thirty-three games, tying four,
and dropping twenty.
For the first two \ears, when it was
customary *to play two encounters each
season, the Ephs conquered the Jeffs at
ever\ meeting. Not until the (inal game
o( 1886did Amherst break into the winning
column, defeating the Purple .50-0.
Ephs Revenge Defeats
In 1887 the Ephs struck back, downing
the Jeffs, 54-0, and the following season
completed their revenge on the long end
of a 53-0 count. It took the Sabrina four
years to recuperate, but they made up for
lost time in 1892 when they shellacked the
hajiless Purple b>' the largest margin ever
recorded in the fifty-seven year old rivalry,
60-0.

In 1902 the series was discontinued when
Williams and Wesleyan accused the Lord
Jeffs of "professionalism." The record to

Guillen '45 Prefers Insipid' College Girls
To Moustached Latin Lassies at Home
Williams' solitary Spanish acquisition,
Seville born C'lauclio Ciiiillon '45 thinl<s
the sultry Spanish scnoritas are strictly
lukewarm in compaiison with the Ameri-
can sweater anil skirt classic.
"These American college girls are
better dressed and much prettier than the
girls in Spain," Ciiiillen solenuily observed
in a recent Rkcohd interview," andthey're
much — how you say — sexier." In fact
(ruillen thinks coetis are pretty nifty — if
he could only "toll them apart." "All
these girls, they're standardized," he
pointe<l out. "They have all the same
socks, all the siime reversible raincoats,
and all the same boys' sweaters." Guillen
particularly takes issue with the hallowed
undergraduate cardigan. "They aren't
feminine," he objected, "and they fit
like shapeless sacks."
U. S. Girls Need Personality
Aside from their feminine charm and
effervescent amiability, however, Guillen
finds the American college girl deficient in
personality and intelligence and generally
"insipid." "You can't get anywhere by
being intellectual with a girl here. Ameri-
can gills are funny," he remarked; "they
go from one extreme to the other — noth-
ing in between. Either they're hyper
intellectuals and talk about Freudian
complexes on a date, or else all they do is
sit around, giggle and drink beer and
sing college songs." Guillen is sore
puzzled by this strange phenomenon.
"I can't understand it," hcaddcd, "they
just don't seem to know how to be in-

telligent in a-a-nornial, smooth way."
Still Likes American Girls
Taking all factors into consideration,
however, Guillen still has a strong prefer-
ence for American femininity over the
sunny Spanish brand. "At least the girls
here don't have moustaches," Giuillen
declared, referring to the sun-sprouted
Latin hairlip. Evidently the Spanish
girls have been kept in the dark about the
old peroxide trick — one dab on the upper
lip and whoosh! — all gone, not even a
shadow. Guillen, who lived in Spain
until 1936, also finds Latin construction
offensive. "The girls are too wide and
bony. There's nothing at all ethereal
about them," he declared.
Turning to a comparison of Spanish and
American standards of morality, Guillen
observed that Latin lasses are subjected
to a much more rigorous discipline. "The
girls of good family," he said, "are groom-
ed very carefully when they're young and
kept in the house like a treasure. They
go out very little and are seldom seen
alone in the streets." Blind dates are
strictly taboo for a proper Latin lass. The
boy friend has to meet the "old man"
and get the official stamp of approval be
fore he takes daughter out. Smoking
and drinking are not the usual procedure
First-Sight Love Taboo
Girls in Spain usually get engaged at a
very tender age. They show great fidelity
in comparison to what Guillen termed
"the fickle American uirls." The Spanish
courtship is an extended affair — sometimes
a matter of five or six years, with none of
"this love at first-sight business." "The
Spanish people take love making very
seriously," Guillen asserted, "and to them
courtship is a real art." In America,
according to Guillen, love is all too
"casual and matter-of-fact." "Here," Iv
continued, "when a boy kisses a girl, it's
just another on a list." Guillen chuckled
slyly and winked — "Boy," he added, "I
bet if Joe College went down to Spain he'd
get slapped on the face all the time."
Guillen noted in passing that the Ameri-
can collegiate social whirl is nmch more
intensive than it is in Spain. "They
don't have house parties in Spanish uni-
versities," he declared. Social events
are not organized. .Social activity is a
matter of indi\-idual concern, and no one
does anything just because "everybnd)-
else does — like a herd of cattle or sheep."

Steeped in a tradition of thrills, spills,
and gore, tomorrow's classic touch Foot-
ball struggle between Amherst and Wil-
liams should be witnessed by a roaring
crowd of about two-dozen spectators.
The fans expected to sweP the sidelines
and witness the Delta Phi's locking horns
with the leading team from Amherst in
what is being built up as the game of the
year — the number one touch football
contest.
Amherst Teams Deadlocked
Sabrina supimrters of intra-fraternity
football report that out of a season fraught
with closely waged battles and startling
upsets two teams have emerged for a play-
off which took place yesterday — too late
to make the Record presses These two
outfits, the Phi Gamma Delta's and the
Chi Phi's, both feature an attack that
stresses blocking with accurate passing
Because of the Jeff stalemate, the
Williams Delta Phi's are in the unhealthy
position of not knowing what team they
are going to face until the morning of the
game. When questioned as to this pros-
pect, quipping, quarterback, Quintana of
the D. Phi's replied, "the one thing we do
know is that there will be eight Amherst
fellows out there facing us, and that they
will have two feet, two arms with five
digits on each extremity, plus one head
apiece — all of which we have also."
D. Phi. Record Unmarred
To meet the Jeff offensive threat in the
game which starts at 11:00 a. m. the
Williams fraternity is expected to un-
liniber its heavy guns in its typical basket-
ball-like attack. It is this same lightning-
like attack that brought it through a seven
game schedule and a play-off game against
the D. U.'.S with an untarnished record.
.So far J lam-handed Hank Tolles, hipper-
di|)per llumbie Quintana, fiuck Fowler,
and Paul lleppes, who can really get on
his bicycle and pedal, have sparked the
Delta Phi attack, but the Amherst cohorts
can ill afl'oril to cover any single group of
stars.
The Delta Phi's, however, feel that no
small amount of cre<lit for this year's
success nuisl he given to "Ijamnierslough's
Hackers" — a group of niisung substitutes
who each day offered themselves u|) for
sacrifice to the mighty varsity in order
that they might get practice for their
regular games. The "Hackers" were duly
rewarded, of course, by insertion into
these games after a safe margin had been
secured by the first team. Such are the
fruits of victory.
Game Third in Series
In the game tomorrow, which will be
the third one in this now famous series, a
half will be played under each of the
opposing college's rules. Thus during

Out to do their part in making House
Parties a success, feature issues of the
Purple Cow and Sketch appear on Spring
Street this afternoon. The Cow puts its
emphasis on art and stories while the
Sketch board has attempted to produce an
all-round well-balanced issue.
Cow's Cover Throe-Toned
The cartoons of Lon C. Hill '43, Jim
Crawford and Sam Hunter '44, Julian
Hemphill's center spread, and a special
three-color cover by C. Brewster Chapman
'42 set the tone for this issue of the Cow.
The Lit. board, bolstered by the return of
Editor-in-Chief Hodge C. Ely '42. presents
the first in a series of articles entitled Do
It Yourself. The article appearing in this
issue is designed to teach How to Pluck a
Duck. Other features include: The Cow's
Quiz Corner, a poll on items of current
interest, Letters to the Editors, and Peter
Penguin's first letter home.
Morgan's Story Featured
The fiction department of Sketch features
John F, Morgan's The Mystery, which
Editor Robert Tully '42 calls, "One of the
best house party stories I have ever read."
Stories by Robert N. Hranson '43, Peter
Warren '45, and Lawrence Morgan com-
plete the picture.
Two heretofore unpublished letters,
written b>' Williams' first president,
Ebenczer Fitch, in 1815, have been un-
earthed b>' Charles R. Keller, associate
professor of history, and appear in this
issue of Skeich. Of historical interest,
these letters are from President Fitch to
the Missionary Society of Connecticut,
written at a time when Williams' first
leader was planning to resign the presi-
dency. Professor Keller stumbled upon
these missives in the archives of the
Missionary .Society of Connecticut when
collecting material for his forthcoming
book, The Second Great Awakening in
Connecticut.

But he's what you might call hteral-
minded. He read in one of our ads that
it's a nice thing to have fifty footcandles
of light when you work at a desk, and
he went out and bought fifty candles!
Without going into the
cost of the candles,
the smoke, or the
glare, and the nui-
sance— that isn't
quite what we meant. A footcancile is
merely a convenient term for the amount
of hght cast by a candle one foot away.
It's a unit of light.
When you curl up with a good book, in
the shade of a tree in mid-
summer, you have upwards
of 200 footcandles. But
when you sit down to read
at night, you probably have
less than ten footcandles.
And the fact remains that our eyes were
meant for seeing out-of-doors.
We wish you could now have real day-
light indoors. But that isn't possible —
yet. With modern lamp
bulbs, lamps, and fixtures, (t^^^^
however, you can come 1 1 /tn
closer to it than ever before. a0%Li'-^i^'
In stores, factories, and ^jfeJa^d^
offices, where close seeing
is important, modern hghting can now
provide as much as 50 footcandles
and more . . . and in many homes, as
high as 30 to 40.
No matter whether it's in your home —
or where you work — modern lighting
can help you see more easily, quickly
and with less eyestrain. Can
we show you how easy and
simple it is to have Light
Conditioning? Phone for a

^* 42 Go Forth to "War"
.Some forty-two of the pop-gun artistes
stagi'd a seconil Battle of the Marne with
startling, Warner Brothers-like reality
on October 20, opening day of the pheasant
season as th<' local sportsmen, somewhat
crowded for breathing space, but other-
wise undaunted, started their anti-air-
craft barrage on the Railroad Properly
across the stream from Cole Field,
One unsuspecting gentleman in the
environs received a rude awakening and
probably got up on the wrong side of bed
when a stray shot "spattered" on his
window at the early hour of 6:30 a.m.,
but aside from that the day was, com-
nmnique-like, "devoted to reconnaissance
parties, and casualties were few."
Bloody Bird Against Belly
A local duck-decoyer, rising up so early
in the morn, hastened to his favorite spot
and after a short wait in a ilarkening
drizzle, put the finger en what turned out
to be a Wood Duck, labeled with F.D.R.'s
ofificial stamp of disapproval. Rather
taken aback, but resigned to the fate of
having his ill-gotten gains for dinner, the
hunter was prepared to leave when two
happy-go-lucky but none-the-less official
looking gentlemen approached and delved
into a lengthx- discussion of the weather,
the hunting, and everything else in the
books with the quaking Ephnian.
At an auspicious moment, the bloody
bird was stuffed behind the folds of a coat,
and the chap cut ahui't tlic convorsatioii
and went his way leaving a trail of gore
in his wake.
Perry Foiled Once
William G. Perry, Assistant to the Dean,
an avid follower of the art, has had his
difficulties with the birds on several
occasions. Several weeks ago Mr. Perry,
with Assistant to the Dean-like precision,
drew out manifold maps and after con-
siderable study, located a lake with a bog.
Early next morning, he directed himself
the fifteen miles to his destination, got out
his shootin' iron, and was about to go In
work on the web-footed beasts when he
noticed that the area was "posted". Still
with Assistant to the Dean-like precision,
but with a little sound and fury mixed in,
he got behind the wheel and directed him-
self the fifteen miles back to Williamstown
with a firm belief in the value of dark
glasses.
Perry Foiled Twice
On another occasion, while walking
through some thick grass with his wife,
Mr. Perry flushed a grouse, but was so
"surprised that 1 di<ln'l get a shot at him."
To add insult to injury, a second flushed
almost immediately after the first, and
flew straight at him, but again the "long
arm of the Dean" was bamboozled and the
bird escaped untouched.
Bob Dill '44, local photographer, has
been seriously disillusioned with the art.
Dill started his activity with a .410 shot-
gun and promptly missed an alleged total
of nine cock pheasants. . all in a row.
Never reci'vering from the ravages of a
disastrous second (|uarter. the Williams
soccer men were overcome on Coli' Field
on Saturday by a championship .Sabrina
eleven. Coach Eli Marsh's favored team
lived up to expectations by downing the
Purple, ,V0.
Though the defense eoinbination of
Captain Joe Ceehran ami Binnie Barnes,
coupled with giialie Xoriii l.owi'll, fought
a hard battle, their elTiirts went for nought
in vain when the Lord Jeffs, playing a far
more balanced and collected game than
ihi' defenders, pressed past them to tally
three times.
Amherst Nets Tally
The first score came lale in the sec<.nd
(piarter when Gray, the Sabrina inside-
left, got control of the ball from a melee
in front of the Purple goal long enough to
chase it into the nets with a powerful boot.
Put at a disadvantage by the nearness of
the mix-up to the goal, Lowell made a
valiant dive for the hall but missed.
Williams Presses Attack
Spi'rrefl hy the Amherst score, the
Williams team drove the ball deep into
enemy territory but failed to score, suffer-
ing fr(uii the same lack of front line unity
that has marked the season since the loss
of three of the team's most promising
attackers earlier in the fall. But then,
again, as the second tiuarler closed, the
invaders from Amherst passed Lowell on
a play that found the goalie overwhelmed
by the enemy. The lone defender of the
Purple goal st<ipped a hard kick by Gray
only to have the sophomore flash Seel>e
return it with an impossibly hard punch
right into the goal.
Cochran, Barnes Star
The second half found the home team
making a better show against the cham-
pions. Ben Hurd, entering the game as
left halfback, took the ball towards pay
dirt and passed to left wing Bruce Brown
who crossed the entire held to Hugh
(See SOCCER page 2)
all week to insure against a repetition of
the Norwich and Wesleyan defeats, place-
kicked the extra point.
Smith Leads Sabrinas
Paced hy shifty halfback Ray Smith,
the Sabrinas came back strong in the last
half, and only the super-human efforts of
the Epli forward w^all prevented disaster.
Three times the Soleau-coached invaders
had Inst downs within the Purple lO-yard
stripe, and three times they were repulsed,
first on the two, then on the five and six-
yard lines.
In taking the Amherst yearlings 1-0,
Coach Clarence Chaffee's soccer aggrega-
tion wound up an undefeated season with
a record of three victories and an opening
game lie with Decrlield. Although they
controlled the ball for most of the game,
the booters lacked the scoring punch that
had netted them nine goals in their other
contests.
The scoring honor for the day went to
Bill Eyre whose second period boot from
forty feet out carried into the upper hand
corner of the goal, barely scraping the
crossbar.

Missing Shakespeare
Refound hy Esquire
Two Years Too Late
Williams College, "an average, Eastern
American college with three thousand
spirited students who stir up their share of
collegiate excitement," made the grade
this month when the "Case of a Missing
Shakespeare" crowded Petty in Esquire's
pages. In a lengthy article which thre.it-
ened to monopolize the issue, Robert M.
Hitchcock, an Assistant United States
District Attorney, rehashed True Detec-
tive's sensational expose last Spring and
revealed more information on the method
by which the "1623 folio"was returned for
the use of "scholars — too engrossed in
research to be diverted by youth's frivo
lous afTairs."

Certain that I he public realK" likes good

to most performances are not essent ial to
the success of a concert or series. The
orchestra's straightforward, simple style
was so suitable to public demand that for
its first season in 1936, ninety-seven per
cent of the sub.scriptions were sold before
the audience assembled for the first

were all sold out in advance.

I'ightiiig with their backs against lln-
wall to keej) a 7-6 edge over an inspired
.Amherst team in the first three periods.
Williams' gridmen came through with
three rapid-fire tallies in the final cjuarler
to gain a 28-6 triumph in the ,S8th game of
this bitter rivalry. A record crowd of over
10,000 watched the Purple eleven score
this third straight victory over the Lord
Jeffs an<l keep the Little Three crown for
the second conseciiti\'e \-ear.
Amherst fought the Purple to a stand-
still in the first three quarters, and it
looked as though the Jeffs might score an
ii|)set when they bi-gan to push Charlie
Caldwell's charges all over the field in the
third period. A .Sabrina drive which
might lia\e been decisi\'e was stopped
when Mulroy missed a first down by inches
on the 10-yard line. The Lord Jeffs drove
twice inside the 15-yard line, but the
Purple line held fast in the shadow of the
goal posts.
Williams Drives for Touchdown
Early in the secoml period Williams
began a drive for the first tonch<lown from
their own 44, after reecjxcring an Amherst
fundde. .Schmidt, llannoek. and Hayes
carried the ball to the 22 as the quarler
ended. Bill Orr broke through on a line
buck after Cunnar lla\'es .idx'aiu'ed ihe
liall 14 yards to the five. Mil Hall coii-
•.o,\ed, ,.n.l Willinmskd. 7 0.
Amherst's touchdown was set up when
Bobby Blood intercepted Cunnar Hayes'
pass and ran to the .Amherst 1^ after Wil-
liams had been knocking hard at the
Sabrina goal line A brilliant .stand by
the .Amherst line had stopped a Purple
march on the 1-yard line. After Blood's
interception, Mulroy shook loose and
travelled to the \\'illiams 42, Then
.Agiiew gathereil in a .SO-yard toss from
Obie .Slingerland and galloped over from
the 12 for the lone Jeff tally. Koebel's
drop kick for the point niis.sed its mark
and .Amherst trailed 7-6.
Fourth Period Barrage
The fourth period scoring barrage
showed why Williams is ranked at the top
among small college teams. The Purple
flood swept over the goal stripe three times
in the last .seven mimiles. Recovering an
Amherst fumble on their own 17, the ICph
backs began to march after an exchange of
kicks had brought the ball to the Amherst
40. Hannock ad\anced to the 13 on a
flashy cut-back run. Beautiful inter-
ference belpefl Hayes carry to the 1-yard
line, and the sophomore star went around
end for the second Williams tally.

Dartmouth Radio Station, Founded on WMS
Pattern, Now Jamming Hanover Airwaves
A station patterned after Williams' own WMS has inaugurated thi' use of radio at
Dartmouth as a college news and entertainment function. D.B.S,, the Dart-
mouth Broadcasting System, under the direction of William J. Mitchel, Jr. '42,
has already outstripped the Eph network in variety of program and educational
value.
Encountering many more difficulties'''
than WMS in getting under way, "the
Dartmouth station is now entrenched as
a permanent campus organization," Sta-
tion Manager Will Milchel told a Kuconn
reporter Friday night. "We have men
visiting the Cornell Radio Guild and the
Princeton station in order to get more in-
formation and assistance concerning col-
legiate radio."
Short History
DBS' history is a short one The
organization has only existed since Sep-
tember 29, 1941 when a ten-day test
period was made with a substantial loan
from the college for equipment and studio
space. This broadcasting series only
reached eight dormitories and technical
difficulties forced the station to go off the
air. Since October 24 the station has
been im the air continuously, M<mda\
through Friday, f|-om .S:()0-6:ob and 9:00-
11:00.
The station will shortly be self-support-
ing with the acquisiliim of more sponsors
and advertising from national and local
sources. The station employs "controlled
wire broadcasting" as do Williams,
Harvard, Cornell and others in order to
avoid ECC regulatiim. It has the ad
vantage of being the only statiim clearb
receivable by Dartmouth students in the
evening hours. The fact that it is the only
really audible slatitm in Hanover will
facilitate getting advertising for the
statitm.
Publicity Stunts

ture regarding the workings of DBS, large,

In I he (iirrenl issue ol' .SAwc/i, there is an editorial - and no one can

iMolivivs of many iiieniUers of mir staff:

lo help the ('tillejjc is perl'eelly laudalilc. One may ask, however, i! such
has heeii the nioiive. of the more militant camj)us leailers in their
cfforls to improve upon Williams and the student hotly."
Anil then (here is more of the sume: would-he campus reformers
really aren't as distnrhed over campus wrongs as they would have yon
liclieve: they're just irritable and sensational.
Now. TiiK Ukcdhi), intentionally, has no tlesive to he in a position
of irritation toilay — especially after a foot hall sca.son and after a football
yame which has meant st) imicli to us as a part of our college. Sbvtcli,
nevertheless, has put us in a position reciuiriug ii little indignation.
In the name of improvement or interest in Williams or sensation or
irritation, (his is what we have done.
We have run many, many stories on cooperative buying and co-
operative management - not becau.se it's fun to be irritated about the
cost of a Williams eiliiealion. We even wrote, once, about petty campus
rt)l)berios — becau.sc we thought that petiple might want to know, in
dollars and cents, what unlocked doors in college dormitories really cost.
We ran a lol of .stories and editorial.s about the cost of water in Wil-
lianistowii, about the desirability of town ownership of the local water
plant ; and we wnilc — in .s|)ite of what Skelrli might wish to believe — out
of no desire lo shock the inhabitants of Williamstown. There were a
(■oui)le of stories about the honors .system at Williams: we wrote about
fire hoses anil, honestly, we were concerneil about what a fire without
hoses would mean lo a college dormitory.
We have w ritteii about rising board bills; even went .so far as to write
about the band uniforms which, we believe, in the interests of a better
Williams biuiil anil not in the interestsof our own digestidii, didn't measure
up to .Vndierst's flannels and .sweaters on Saturday. We have written
about bigger Ihings: about ways which we think will make W^illiams
fraternities better; ways which we think will improve .student govern-
ment and facully-student relations at Williams; about changes in the
driving rules, aboul paying S6.'A) for a few lioinvs of dancing.
Tills we have done, and when we have written, anil complainctl, we
have complained because we think Williams would be better with im-
provement. .Viid if we may be allowed to become sloppy, we like this
college enough to want to make it better. There is niithiiig we eaii do,
but ask you to accept us as honest, sincere undergraduate editors who
love om' college as much as you <lo, and who think that i; is a part of our
job to wrile about ways to make Williams a better college.
We make mi.stakes, in methods and in actions — we doubt if anyone
will disagree about ihis. \\u] there is a lot in the Skelcli editorial that
l)ro(lnces. in us, more than indignation. There's a lot of gooil .sen,se in it,
a lot that we on Till' Rkcoud (piiie agree wiJli, and hav,- h'arned through
the experience of putting out this paper twice a week.
We think that yon will agree with us when wc say we've made mis-
takes - plenty. We hope that you will iiiil accept thv Sketch edito'-ial
that <iueslii)ns a genuine desire on our par! to improve upon the existing
conditions of our college.

Ihal portion of your Monday news
-lory about the concert of Cole Porter
iiieloilies which slated that the nirector
of .'Wtr "refused ihe use of the Ijirije
stane for last niijht's concert" is bluntly
iiicorrecl, and also presenteil in an ill-
aiK'ised accusing and iiuarrclsome tone,
,'\ re(|uesl usually precedes a refusal,
.No re(|Uesl lo use the main stage for this
allraction was even made, either liy Mr,
Purler or b> ainoiie else in charge of the
perforinance presumalily because it
musi have been evident to the laller, at
least, thai the MkcIi Ado Ahoiil Nnlhiii«
production had prior and more pressing
claims upon llie main stage. Accordingly,
that seel ion of the building was used be-
fore, (luring and long after the Porter
coneerl I hat night by per.srins interested
in priividing scenery and ligluing for
Much Ado's prrforiiiaiices on riiursday
,ind h'riday.
If and wluii those ill direct charge of
the Glee Club imisictil comedy revival
series see fit lo aller their plan lo use the
."MVI'I" Sludio and, accordingly, choose lo
make a simple, stniight-lorward rc(|Uesl lo
use other facilities of the college theatre,
both they and Tmk Rkcohd may rest
assured that such a rei|iiesl will receive,
without need for pressure from any di-
reclion, the same consideration granted to
thoac of all drama and musical groups of
the college and comimiiiity. The Wil-
liams Glee Cluh, Ihe Williams Coneerl
Series, T'he Macli CTiorus, Cap and Bells,
Theatre Intime, Dcutscher \'erein and llie
Art of Ihe T'heatre class have already
been through this gruelling experience in
planning their progianis for this \ear,
according lo a reliable source.

{lulilor's Note: Our deepest apologies lo
Mr, Flowers for putting him in a wholly
false light. We are glad lo print his letter,
particularly because il invalidates the un-
true opinion held liy a large portion of the
communily thai he had been responsible
for Ihc u.se of the small stage for the music
series. His letter makes clear that Ihe
decision lo use the small stage for the
series was a decision of the Williams Glee
Club.)

Masters. The latter made an exce|)tioiiaI
center across the front of the enemy goal,
but failed on his assist as the center section
ol Ihe attack was caught back on its heels
and mis.sed the chance to chalk up a score.
The liiial Amherst score came in this
third tpiarter when .substitute center for-
ward. Stiles, broke past the defense lo
hammer a hard kick into the nets Irom a
position just a few feet out. From that
time on, the game was between the
Amherst eleven and the Purple defense,

With the Jeffs still smarting from this
drive, .Marsh Hannock climaxed his foot-
ball career with the longest dash of the
day, carrying the ball 72 yarils for the
third Kph score. Crashing throtigh the
line on a wcitk-side jilay, the scrappy half-
back broke into the open aitd streakeil
a\\a\- from his pnrsticrs down the sideline.
Purple Blocks Kick
On the kiik-cilT, Hobli\ HI I w.is

j rid of the l)all on a [>ass. lilood's kick
[ was partially blocked and grablied on the
(ly by an .Amherst end. The ball came
; back to the .Amherst 10 on a penalty for
interference on a fair catch. Fnllback
lli'rli llolden rifled a [lerfect leading pass
I to Hob Wallace in the end zone for the
final score, and Hall brought the final
jconnt to 2X-() with his fintrth conx'eision.
I'laitie-captain Herb llolden and center
Hill Conrcer were outstanding defensively.
Hacking up the line, the rugged center was
on the bottom of almost every pile with
low driving tickles that jtirred the
.Amher.st ba;'ks. 1 lannock and Bill Schmidt
were effective in stopping attack through
the air.
All Amherst attempts to rcgiin the
cannon stolen during the half were frus-
trated as the piece of field artillcrs' was
passed through the crowd in the stands

rile editors of Sketch lia\e been charged I
in the past, not inijustU. with indifference'
lo the course of World events and with
general irresponsibility. Such a criticism
cannot be lirought against those who pro-
duced the present issue. The idilorlal
and the best of the eontriliutions suggest a
serious iiuercsi in the probleiiis of the
World in which tin Willi.im-. iimler-
graduate \Wv>.
That part ol the world which lies «ithin
hall .1 niilr of Jesnp Hall receives, fairls
enough. ,1 good deal of attention. Thr
editorial .idministers a goiid-humornl
rebuke to campus leaders who cmliark on
ill-consideied crusades. With surprising
conser\'atism the writi'r recommends going
slowly and "thinking in terms of broader
issues." The take-it -eas\- attitude suggest-
ed b\ the senti'iice liegiiining. "Idealism
is all \erx well, but "is partK cilTset li\
the insisience that it is the motives of the
crusaders which are under attack rather
than the crusading spirit in general. Hut
the iditorial taki's lai a slighlK ironic
Ha\iir for the reader who understands the
system of interlocking directorates under
which Skelch and another campus publi-
cation operate.
Two of ihe four arlicli's carried in this
issue are also concerned with the eollege.

are not represented as lieing shattering:
it is at their simplicit\ that Morgan asks

To Your Good Taste,
Gentlemen!
Roger Kent was founded in the belief that dressing well
is a matter of taste and not of money. Why should a
small budget force a man who knows better to accept
clothing that is obviously made for indiscriminate mass
consumption? This attitude, combined with special-
ization and its resultant values, has built a business
unique in clothing history.

Cn'orm' Hiyan's ilcli'nsc (if the |)acilisl
pusltion has for a subtitle, "IIdw t"an the
Pacifists l)f Peaceful with Hitler?" This,
precisely, is (he (pu'sliim whidi he does
ncit satisfactorily answer. Altlii)U|,'li he
liunestly sets forth the most (laniaKins;
arguments which ihi' pacifist has to meet,
the crticial .section at the end of his article,
where he defends non-cooperation in a war
against Hitler's (jerniany, will nain sym-
pathy only from those who have alreadx
accepted his creed.
The most tinieh contribution to the
current issue is Robert lully's discussion
of strikes in defense industries. Tully
wisely attempts a statement of the
problem rather than a solution of it. The
statistics adduci'd are so incomplete that
they prove little (the author himself is not
entirely satisfied with them), but the
treatment of England's approach to the
strike problem in this war and our own
approach in the last is illuniinalinK. If
Tully is rij;bt in estimating the present
aims of labor leaders and management, the
situation seems destined to worsen before
it improves. Written as it is with sincer-
ity and objectivity, his article provides a
valualile Introduction to ,i subject of
inimetliate importance.
AlthoUKh the contributions are of un-
e<|Ual merit, they present enough diversity
tofjuarantee a varied appeal for the maga-
zine as a whole. It seems a i)ity that half
the column on books was devoted to
recomnuMidinK mystery stories by Dorothy
Sayers, and that Warren Hunke found the
new dramatic season so uninteresting that
he had to rely entireb on musical comedy
for material. Without suK^estinK what
the next stage in the descent might be, I
should like to point out that it has to slop
somewhere. The search for a varied
appeal has on the whole, however, lieen
[>r(ililable. Verse has not entirely dis-
appeared, though it is represented only by
a somewhat confused and mannered
sonnet. The issue, as a whole, leaves the
impression thai Skelch has a lively sense
of its responslbilltv' to its readers anil that
it deserves a larger circulation than it has.
CROSSCOUNTRY

th in the old mark, a Williams trio of lirew
("hajmian. Captain Hob I iriggs, and Ken
Moore crossed the liiiish line hanil-in-hand,
upsetting [ire-raee ilo|-e and sniolhering
the highly regarded Cardinals.
Five in First Eight
Ferguson, Holmes (l')4() winner of this
race), and ('apt lin C.iza of the favored
Wesleyan sipiad finished well behind the
leaders with Maurrie C.oodbody and Dave
lirow n finishing seventh and eighth for the
Kphmen and making it possible for all five
of the scorers for the Purple to finish
within the first eight. The Amher.st
runners were definitely outclassed, their
first man, .Anderson, coining in eleventh.
The .Amherst course is a new one, almost
a mile shorter than Williams' 4.2 mile
route, and relatively level with only three
real-sized hills as obstacles.
Purple Strategy Pays Dividends
With Wesleyan, the now dethroned
titleholders, occupying the spotlight as
favorites, C'oach Tony Plansky planned
his strategy accordingly. The leading
three contenders for the ICphmen were
instructed to dog the heels of the power-
ful Cardinal trio, letting them set the pace,
and to make a bid only on the final stretch.
As the race actually progressed, howe\er,
Chapman, C-riggs, and Moore found the
pace too slow at the halfway mark and
spurted into the lead, an ever-increasing
lead which enabled them to win in this
triple tic.

rile committee's statement refers to
rrccTii Washingtcm draft rulings as an
ixplan.iiion of its provision for maji.r
examinations without accompanying gen-
eral midyear examinations leading to a
ilcgn'e. Current orders from Selective
Sirvic-e lleathiuarters evidently diri'Ct

ilieir local boards without consideration
for their status as stuilents. Cndei-
srachiates classified as 1-A, however, shall
ii:iM' I heir induction into the army delayed
iiiuil the end of the semester.
The assumption of the .Selective Service
.All iidminislrators is that academic work
inlrrrupted at the end of a semester can be
iisiitiied with comparative case by the
student w-hen the emergency is over,
•Vailemic work is regarded as comparable
Id jobs held by other young men called into
I iniliiary service.
Committee Recommendations
I he Committee on Educational Polic>'
accepts the draft administrators' assump-
I liiins as to the character of academic work.
I'lirir recommendations, however, indicate
I iheii feeling that it will be more difficult
I'll the student to resume his work of
|)re|3aration after the emergency for the
inajor exam than for the ordinary courses
I n»l connected with the major.

Air Raiders Will Bomb
Campus Again Sunday
I'rof. Braincrd Mears, chairman of
tile Williamstown Committee on
l^iblic Safety, announced Thursday
lliat a mock air raid will be in prog-
ress from 2:15 to 4:15 Sunday after-
nnon. At that time, the fire, water,
electric, gas, and Red Cross services
will be on call for immediate action.
All persons previously enlisted for
service under the Air Raid Precaution
"rganization are reminded that the
danger period is continuing. They
sliould hold themselves in readiness to
liiisicn to their stations whenever
they hear the air raid alarm.
William F. Courter '4.? of Niagara Kails.
X, \. was elected to lead the 1<)42 football
team yestenlay at a short meeting of the
l')41 lettermen. who then chose Herbert
Holden, Jr, '42 of l-:iizabeth, N. J. as per-
manent capt:iin for the past season.
Courter began his football activities at
La,sell .School, where he played both center
and halflv.ick. He then shifted to fullback
in his junior yvuv at Nichols .School in
Uuffalo, and for the next two seasons
:ilternatc<l between full and quarterback,
captaining his prep school eleven in his
senior year.
Fullback as Freshman
.\l Williams he continued at the fullb.ick
po.st as a freshman. Last year Courter
shifted again to blocking back, at the same
time alternating with Jack Daly at the
pivot post. During the 1941 season the
versatile 205-pound gridster settled down
at the center position and proved to be the
greatest bulwark in the liph defense.

Cap and Bells Sets
Plans For Musical
Morgan '43 Will Write
Script of Proposed
Comedy for May 8-9
Cap and Bells, campus dramatic organ-
ization, took concrete steps last Tuesday
night in Je.sup Hall to insure prodtiction of
a musical comedy May 8-9, 1942, weekend
of spring house parties.
At rM p. m., Paul Murray, Jr. '42,
President of Cap and Bells, addressed a
meeting of over forty undergraduates,
repr(!senting all classes in college. Murray
informed the men present that Cap and
Bells' pi'tition for use of the Adams Memo-
rial Theatre to present its annual house
party production had been granted and
that Cap and Hells is extremely anxious to
give a musical comedy.
President of the Glee Club, Warren G.
Hunke '42, warned that the final dead line
for handing a comedy script to the Adams
Memorial Theatre Committee is January
6, 1942. However, he added that to insure
presentation of the performance on time,
the script should be in by December 19.
He explained that a large amount of work
is needed to write antl fit songs to a script.
Hunke announced that he was willing
to write songs for the production and
added that he was sure that other men in
college with song writing talent would be
glad to contribute to composing music and
lyrics.
Despite uncertainty as to whether or
not Cap and Bells could beat the time
limit, a musical comedy committee was
formed headed by Murray and Hunke,
who authorized John F. Morgan '43 to try
his hand at writing a comedy on or before
December 19.

The administration ha> given ne«
direction to the job of pulling Williams
before the public eye with the announce-
ment of a reorganization and eoordinatioii
of college publicitN' services,
A plan lo improve traditional hit-or-miss
Williams public r<4ations and designed
specihcalK- to "augment college publicilN
in botha(|uantitativeandi|ualilativesensi '
has been put forward b\ James M, Burns
'39, recently appointed assistant to I he
President in charge of publicitv.
New Plan's Objective
The new plan as submitted by Mr,
Burns to the President has as its objective
"bringing to the attention of as many
people as possilile llu' good aspects of the
college, because of the salutary elTect nil
admissions, gifts, and general public
opinion." It is Williams' answer as a
small, endowed liberal arts college lo the
challenge of th<' war emergi-ncy, exjianding
governmental regulative powers, and de-
clining investment returns.
The main features of the revised pub
licit\' program are:
1, The unilication and direction of the
diverse college public relations agencies
throtigh the part-time director of pub-
licity in the President 'soflice;
2, A college-subsidized periodic release
of free publicity submitted through the
News Bureau to over forty large news-
papers in twelve areas tbriiughnut the
count r\':
3, The use of individual News Bureau
members and influential alumni lo make
contacts with newspaper editors.
Free News Distributed
Mr. Burns' project will not inlenupl
the flow of thai publicity dispatched on a
revenue-returning basis lo neighboring
newspapers like I he Springfield Repuhlkini
and the Berkshire /i.7j;/c. An advantagi-
of the new program lii's in the fact thai
this limited coverage will lu' supplemented
bv
a distribution oifree news.

Lindsay '44 Wins Football Managership; Lee
Takes Soccer Post; 29 Earn Football Insignia
Donald McK. Lindsay '44, of Decatur,
Illinois, won first place in the sophomore
football managerial competition this fall
and will be assistant manager of varsity
football next year, to become manager in
1943, according to a bulletin issued this
week by the Executive Committee of the
Athletic Council. Simultaneously, the
council announced the selection of Josei)h
J. Lee '44, of Clearfield, Penn. as assistant
manager of varsity soccer for 1942.
Other soi)homore winners in the football
competition are Richard G. King, who
will assume the position of program
manager his senior year; Walter B. Mohr,
manager of freshman football; Joseph P.
Dumesnil, Jr., varsity cross-country
manager; and George B. Whittlesey,
manager of freshman cross-country. As
a result of the soccer competition, Edward
K. Williams will become intramural
manager and Emile E. Werk, Jr., fresh-
man soccer manager.
Lindsay, captain of last year's fresh-
man basketball team, is a graduate of
Deerfield Academy where he played three

According lo warnings issued before
Thanksgiving vacation. Williams scholar-
ship made n slight impro\emenl over the
five-year low of last .vear with Phi OeUa
Thcta and Sigma Phi fraternities tying for
the least number received.
With only 49,8 per cent of the stuilenl
body receiving D or E warnings, Williams
has bettered last year's record by two and
one half per cent. The class of 1943 re-
ceived fewer "dubious" grades than 1942
did last year, and, in addition, had a
sinaller jn'rcentage of its members dropped
from special cutting privileges than either
of the two upper classes last spring.
Sophomores Low
The sophomore class is outstandingh-
low in regard to members not jmsted by
the Dean's Office, with only 41.5 per cent
of its members in that categor\'. This
record is worse than that of last year's
sophomores. The class of 1945 received
five per cent fewer warnings than 1944 did
a year ago.

I lie (■olli')^<' liopi's to, anil will, increase its eoluiiin iiiclie< in tlie nation's
press,
'I'lie most promising aspe<'l of I lie new program is the "Williams
Sl(iiy-of-llie-We"k" wliieli will lie sent to twelve newspapers each week

open llie way In the fiill-lime puhlieity office we advocated in aseriesof
e.litorials last spring, after examining .he inadequaeies of present piihlicity
ami the imperative's demanding a vast and immediale iniprovenient.
There is no reason to go int<i handsprings over this iu>ws from the
Hopkins Hall front. Twelve art ides a week doesn't ..^over iniich territory;
it skips tile smaller ()apei's and concentrates on a few large metropolitan
dailies wiiicli are less likely to want Williams news, ft concentrates
on areas where there are tlie largest bodies of Williams aliimni, whereas
one of tlu' aiuis of any eflfi.'ieiit publicity .set-up .should he to hit the
many areas where William.s ahinini are too feiv.
The biggest failing of Williams publicity still endures, and that is the
failure to flood home town newspapers with every activity of local hoys
who make gdoil in college .Vnd making good means anything from wri-
ting an article for a college imblicatioii to being elected ])i'esideiit of the
senior class.
lieeciitly the New York 'I'imcs carrie.l on its Sunday educational page
a story from Williain.stowii about the Rkcokd articles advocating a
correlation of fralccnity and college goals, mentioning the names of the
eilihn-sof the paper. Their home town newspapers picked up the Times
story and gave ^Villianls iiii-hcs of valuable, free publicity. These inches
wcr.' an aceidcnl; efficient piihlicity would make them ronline. With
Mr. IJums, the present assistant for publicity, we ho|)e lor ,iii iinprove-
Mient in this direclion .soon.
There is a healthy valiK' in having nieinbers of the News Hnreau staff,
and aiimini from the college, interest I heir local newspajK-rs in news from
Williams — this l)eing a part of Ihe new .scheme. Hut their ])art in an
effective .scheme of imblicity shoiihl only be incidi'iital to the over-all work
of a full-tiine pulilicity man, only a part of who.se jol) it would lie to see
I hat news from Williamslown was capable of selling itself to papers every-
where.
Policing 19-20 Courses
('eriain college adniinislrative circles are posing a new one: "Should
mcmliers of the faculty loss out of cla.ss .seniors who come to 19-20 courses
unprepared?"
Their (picstioii siciiis from Ihe experience of many nieinbers of the
faculty, who often have found t heinselves on the giving end of a one-sided
di.scussioii. .\ schedule di.senssion which l)ecomes a lecture because oidy
the inslrnclor has done the work certainly |)o.scs a .serious jiedagogical
(piestion.
Whether the answer lies in resort to more police power for the faculty
is a (|ne.slion that deserves wide di.scnssiou before action is taken. The
c.xperience of teachers in one 19-20 course may be entirely unlike that of
others, and il is not always true that the undergraduaics are at fault —
as it is not always I rue that the cutting of some classes displays irresponsi-
bility.
If this is a (|uestion serious enough to resolve, il is our own feeling
that I here is more education anil good sense involved in dealing with
I his matter specil'ically in each l')-20 conr.se. If there are but a few in-
dividnal.s who arc iiuprepareil, why not |)retend they are not there and
lei Iheiu sulTcr the con.se((nciici's of their own decisions? And if lack of
preparation takes on the appearance of a di.seasc afl'ecting most of the
class, Iheii there is soinething .so .seriously wrong that it would be better
laken care of in a eanl.s-on-the-lable meeting of the course than in the
whole.sale ejection of men from cla.ss.

I shall suniniarize m\ fundamental
reclilicationson the following points:
1 . The figures of Ihe Presidential elections
nf 11)40 lire iiuicciimte.
There were 71,451, and not 85,000
votes. There were not two, but four,
persons for whom votes were cast in these
elect inns (General Penaranda, General
Bill)ao Rioja, General (Juinlanilla, anil I,
the civil candidate), (leneral Penaranda
received 58,060 votes and not 70,000.
The dala that I use are taken from the
Official Records nf Ihe Bolivian Congress.
2. I was not in inil at the time the presi-
dential elections look place.
I attended them in Sucre, on IVIarch 10,
l"MO. two da\s previous I had taken
over lliere I lie t'hair ol Soeiology in the

^. The "free" eleaiuns of 1V4I).
The presidential elections of 1040 were |
iiol "tbe first free elctions held in liolivia
ill years" as Mr. Giintlier .says (p. 224).
T"here were grave out rages committed
:ig:iiiist the rights of nieelinji and expres-
sion, against stnilents and workers, against
caiiilidates for the I louse of Representa-
tives and against ine, personally. I de-
nouneed some of thi'sv oulragi's in a pulilic
letter addressed to President General
(Juinlanilla, under who.-^e provisional
go\ernnieiil ihe elections were conducted.
Thai letter was reproduced in "La Mora"
of .Santiago lie Chih' (March 21, 1040).
4. The "cuiisliliilimial" regime of Ceneral
I'ennriiiida.
Neither is il true thai (ieneral Pena-
randa's government is "the nearest to a
constitutional regime that the country has
seen in a long, long time" (p. 224 of Gun-
iher'sboolc). Only a little over a year ago
(Jnl>-, 1040) a Congress of Leftists over
which I presided, meeting wit b the writlen
promise of guarantees from Presidenl
Penaranda — a Congress thai represented
smile thousands of workers, peasants anil
inti'llectuals— w.is atlacta-il, with pistol
shots, liy a gnnip of totalitarian rowdies
(they Ciill themselves T^alangisls) ivlia hod
heen paid by the (iin'ernment lo make this
attack. Tbe njwdies weie imi atile to
acconiplisb their purpose, so police and
army forces were put into,action to assist
them, (July 26tb). As a consequence,
thirly-two leaders of the Congress were
seized. Twenty-six of them, including
six university professors anil a President
(Kecliir) of a university were seal lo the
distant Chai'o forests and submiUeil In
forced labor, as in Totalilariaii conceii
tration camps! Later, ten of the leatlers
were thrown into jail. They securei
iheir freedom after lucnly da>s by reason
of an aiiinesly obtained ihrougb powerful
pressure brought lo bear b\ labor unions
and student organizations. 1 was one of
the nunilier sent lo the Chaco anil to the
jail in Oruro. All this occurred six months
after the presidential idections. and that
the reason was purely political, goes with-
out saying. .Several .South American
newspapers commenteii upon this scandal,
without precedent in the political history
of B(divia. It is a pity llial Mr. Gunther
ignored il.
5. Objector to the Chaco War, not ' 'deserter"
.Mr. Gunther says, bluntly, that I was a
deserter, repeating, without examining the
sources, the igniilile epithet used against
me by my political enemies during the
presidential electiiins. I was an objector
to the Chaco War before it broke out — a
very different thing from being a deserter.
('This wont, in its common and military
meaning, implies the forsaking of duty
through cowardice or treason.) In April
I0,?2, at which time I was a |)rofessor of
sociology on the Faculty of Law al I-a Paz,
I gave a lecture denouncing the dark
machinations that were being put into
action to pre|)are for that anti-Bolivian
war, which C.unlher himself refers to as
"stupid ami useless". Harassed by the
government, I emigrated to Peru. I
lived in Lima all during that War, without
ties with any political parly or foreign
governmenl. In June 19,36, llii' military
governinent of 'Toro called me lo La Paz
lo occupy the high oftice of Juridical
Advisor to the recently created Ministry
of Labor. M\- lack of conformity with
the pseudo-socialistic policy of Toro was
responsible for his exiling me lo Chile,
in August VIMi. I li\T(l until January
1940 in that hospitable country, where my
principal job was that of Library .Science

as Delegate of Uolivia to the First Inter-

1930 the Boli\ian University Kcderation,

its candidate for the Presidency of the

uary 1940, with a legal |)assport, and in
Tebruary I publicly renounced my c:indi-

supiKJrting it, and a large part of the more
worthy electorate of Boli\-ia voted for me,
as is evidenced by the large number of
votes I won in the capitals of Oruro,
Potosi, and in the most important mining
centers. And the fact is that my name at
that time was (as might have been that of
any other citizen with greater political
prestige) a symbol of |)opular resistance

Democracy means snmething entirely
• lilTereiil today in South America ihan ii
does in the United St.ites, declared Jorge
Icaza, noted Ecuadorian novelist, when
he stopped in Willianistown Monday
before attending the Inter-American Sem-
inar on Social Problems in Washington
next week. To the common person in the
soutliern hemisphere, he explained, ilem-
icracy refers to a system which has been
exploiting him and his people for four
hundred years.
Political Setup
The political setup in South America
has remained the same since King h'erdi-
nand and Queen Isabella of Spain divided
the land of the continent into enormous
tracts for representatives of the Crown,
the writer said. Although so-called re-
publics have lieen established, they have
served as a screen for the same rule of the
Ldlifundishis, or large landlicjlders. This,
of course has not resulted in giving ex-
pression to the will of the people, nor has
it improved their condition, he continued.
There have, however, been certain
sparks of democracy, or brief movements
in the tlirection of pojiular governmenl,
Icaza admitted, but in every case when
tliesi- sparks have died out, the democratic
ideal has disappeared and the governmenl
has returned to that of the big landowners.
Icaza in U. S. Five Days
Icaza, who had been in the I'niled
.States but five days when interviewed,
spoke \ery little English, but Jose A. Arze,
visiting Bolivian U-cturer, and Albert B.
Franklin, .Assistant Professor of Romanic
Languages, iiUerpri-ted his to-the-]>iiiiu
.Spanish. Although Arze and Icaza knew
each other only by reputation, Pranklin
was Well acquainted with the famous
author, both having resided in Duilii,
Ecuador, last year.
Icaza is the author of three wideh read
short novels, the most famous being his
first, Iluasipiingo, published in 19,32,
TiirKSToN '44
which pleads for improvement of the
Indian life in South America. This novel
is a sketch that all his future works will
fill out. His latest book, Cliolos, has been
translated into English by Mr. I'"rankliii,
and is now awaiting a publisher.
First Impressions
Asked to compare .South America with
the United States, Icaza said that his live
days in this country naturally entitled bini
to give but first impressions. The tirst
thing that has struck him, he commented,
is the gigantic strength which there must
have been to build up such a nation.
Secondly, Icaza added, technique ap-
pears to have the ruling roll in the United
States. South America is living in a
diffi'renl cenlury, and wdiat is mire, the
rhythm of life is dififerent. fhis may be
because America was easier to conquer,
he hinled, pointing out that here there is
no tropical Brazil, no rugged mountain
range like the Andes, no desolate frigid
region as in southern Argentine and Chile.
Seasons Unpredictable
Kurthermore, Icaza declared, the sea-
sons in North America arc readily pre-
dictable, for they fall in consecutive order,
while al home the iiuestion of warmth and
fertility of soil depends not on the seasons,
but on the irregular upheavals of the
earth's crust.
I'his climate has made the man of North
America more rational, Icaza explained,
and has made it easier for him to develop
a culture. Now, through technical means,
he is approaching a high standard of living,
whereas the mere gaining of the where-
withal to survive is a major problem in
South .'\merica.
This dilTerencc is proved, Icaza pointed
oul, by comparing the children of the two
continents. The North American child is
happ\' and content with life, while his
counterpart below the equator is "born
old," born questioning, wondering why he

Faced with one of his toughest years,
Coiu-h l?()l) Muir is finishing his first week
i.f fornuii practice with the Purple varsity
swiiinning squad. Seriously crippled hy
the loss of four outstanding swimmers from
last year's line-up, an abnormally small
squad of fifteen men is now concentrating
on conditioning exercises.
Though Muir has always had at least
eight men from the senior class, this year
he will have to work with only two, Art
Wright, veteran breast stroker, and Ernie
Selvage, outstanding diver last season.
Gone from this class are Ali-American
Dave Maclay, third placer in the national
ISOO-meter freestyle event last year.
New Kngland reconl holder for the 440-
yanl and 220-yard freestyle champion,
and Jim La Ment, e.v-captain of the l')40-
41 team and New Kngland 220-yard free-
style record holder.
The junior contribution to the squad
shows more strength. Sam Bacon, New
England quarter mile champion, leads in
the distances, supported by Pete Lanier
and Len Eaton, with Don Early filling
the sprinting assitjnments. Bill Budge is
expected to h.'a-liine in the backstroke,
event where he was outstanding last year
Missing, howe\er, are Bud Ilubbcll,

Thumb Nail Review: 1941 Fall Athletic Results
With the once-beaten football eleven leading the way, Williams vaisi y
athletic teams compiled a combined average of .611 this fall, exactly dupli-
cating last autumn's performance. At the same time the yearling aggrega-
tions improved over 1944's record of .545 by maintaining a .591 average,
while capturing two Little Three titles and tying for the third.
Only the varsitv soccer combine was unable to share in a Little Ihree cham-
pionship as the varsity football, freshman soccer, and both cross-country
teams swept Wesleyan and Amherst aside. An upset win over the
JelTs threw the yearling grid race into a three-way deadlock.

BASKETBALL
(Continued from page t)
too many undergraduates of varsity
basketball calibre who are content to
confine their activities along this line to
intramural play. If a sufficient number
appear on Monday, Burnett will split the
squad into two sections, one drilling in the
afternoon, the other in the evening.
For the first time in years, the quintet
will take a trip during Christinas recess,
having encounters scheduled with Yale
and Rutgers at the Westchester County
Center in New York City, with Hoistra
at Hempstead, Long Island, with ^'i!la-
nova in Wilmington, Del., and with the
Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. The
squad will make its headquarters at the
Y.M.C.A. in White Plains, where they will
have daily practices starting December 26.
With the northi'rn invasion of Middle-
bury and the University of Vermont on
December 12 and 13 less than three weeks
away, Burnett has wasted little time in
putting his aggregation through an ex-
tensive drill on fundamentals. Several
members of the s(|uad had previously
participated in conditioning scrimmages
with Co-Captains Wils Barnes and Hum-
ble Quintana before the coach's arrival.
In the practices to date Burnett has
stressed an offense with two men playing
pivot positions, while the defense has been
man-to-man.
No starting line-up has as yet been
mentioned by Burnett, but in all prob-
ability Barnes, last year's high scorer, will
take over the center post and play one of
the pivots. The other pivot spot will
most likely be filled by Jack Harter, while
Quintana, sparkplug Bob Wallace, and
Roy Tolles round out the (|uintet.
However, these players will have no
easy job in retaining starting berths, for
last year's freshman k'a<ler Don Lindsas-,
John Wakeman, and .Sophomores John
Bridgewater, Geoige .Stanley, Dick King,
and Al Swain are hard pressing them.
GRID CAPTAINS
(Continued from pago 1)
In addition to football, Courter plays
lacrosse and stars as defense on the hockey
team. He is a member of the Alpha Delta
Phi fraternity.
Holden, who crashed into the Williams
starting line-up as a halfback in his sopho-
more year, was outstanding in that position

men, facing one of their toughest scliedul«|
in several years, retain the services of l!ob[
Hendrie and Dude Hemphill, last year'il
number one and two ranking iilayers, and I
will draw heavily on last year's fivshniail
team and improving junior and senict|
material.
Ileiulrio, Hemphill and Hank Woll.l
last year's number four man, are exiicctril
to retain the number one, two anil tlirnl
berths respectively, but six other posn|
left \'acant by the graduation of liil!
Collins, Bill Nicolls, Clark Bedford, Todl

Ray Ashley, number one [ilayer on lasi|

position as does rlassmate Tod Hunt who I
started the season at the head of thtl
yearlings last year but was forced loilropj
out.
Others who figure in the pre-si'asoi I
ratings are senior Dave Peet; Dan Kiijj.l
Bry Bostwick and Al Maulsby, numlMl

Twelve Areas Affected
The News Bureau will be paid by the

basis of the extent of alumni representa-

American Negro Art
Shown at Lawrence
An exhibhion ilevoted entirely to the
irt of the American Negro, comprehen-
sively reflecting all the styles and types of
contemporary art, is on view at the
l.awreiue Art .Museum through Sunday,
November 30. The exhibition, one of
the few large exhibitions devoted solely
to Negro art ever to be circulated, was
assembled by Professor Alain Locke of
Howard University, Archibald Macleish,
Librarian of Congress, and the directors
of the WPA Art Program.
Most of the exhibitors are professional
artists or national prize-winners who have
won prominence within the past ten
years. They are artists who have gained
experience through attending night schools
ind art classes, and decorating public
buildings.
The majority of the subjects are drawn
from e\'cryday life. Racial pride and
feeling are evident, many of the works
having the emotional appeal characteristic
of the negro spiritual. Surrealist, real-
ist, and romantic art reflecting hope, fear,
sadness, and hajipiness are present. .Some
of the more outstanding works are;
"Reggie", a portiait of a bo>' sensing
loneliness and despair; the gayer side of
life depicted in "Moogic-W'oogie" and
"Jumpin Jive"; die "Lawd Mali Man's
Leaving" and "Uncle Bob" of Ciiggen-
heini Fellowship winner Archibald Motley,
Jr.; an 1 "Still-Life witli Screen" a
painting reflecting uncultured native
talent.

Captain Ar( Kichniond's wrestling team
will swing into high gear ne.\t week in
preparation for the first match of the
season, scheduled for Oecember lO against
Lafayette.
Uncle Ed Bullock greeted a sizeable
squad on Monday, when the first practice
session was held Present were veti-rans
Art Richmond, Johnny Jacobs, Hill
Klopinan, anil Hob Ulakney, all of whom
saw service last season. These four will
be bolstered by numerous sophomores up
from last year's undefeated freshman team,
and the result should be a strong outfit.
Captain Richmond will take care of the
121-pound class, where he performed
successfully last year. Johnny Jacobs
will again be on hand in the 128-pound
class, followed b\" sophomore Hobby
Brown at 13S. Competition al 145
pounds will be severe, the outstanding
candidates beint: Bob Derge, Bill Murfey,
and \'eteran Ralph Reiizi, if he conies out
for the team.
In the upper weight divisions the
services of last year's Captain Jake Karle
and heav>\veiglit Pete Richards will be
sorely missed. Bill Klopman is back
again, however, to take care of either the
KS.S or 165-p(mnd division, with plenty of
competition in the former from Herb
Hell and Shep Poor, both of whom are
siiphimiores. Last year's freshman captain
Rob Jones is the chief contender bir the
17S-pound berth, and veteran Bob Blakney
will again perform at heavyweight.
Student ^Who's Who'
Lists Twelve Seniors
Academic, Outside Work
Basis for Selections
.Selected for their display of out.staiiding
ability in scholastic work and achieve-
meats in e.xtra-curricular activities, twelve
members of the Williams senior class will
be listeil in the 1941-42 edition of "Who's
Who Among .Students in American Uni-
versities and Colleges", an annual publi-
cation making its eighth successive
appearance.
Those representatives of the class of
'42 whose biographies will appear are:
Donald R. Booz, (George C. Bryan, Joseph
W. Cochran, Jack K. Cireenland. Cunnar
A. llagstrom, Herbert llolden. Jr.. Cyrus
N. Morgan, Hugo A. Oswald, Jr., David K.
Peet, Jr., C. Frederick Kudolph. Jr.,
Robert Tnlly, and Alfred N. Whiting.
Aside from honoring the individual
students, the primary pur|xise .if the
publication is to ser\'e as a reference
volume of relialjle information on the body
of American College students. It serws
in the capacity of a recommendation of the
student to the business world, as described
by its editors, it is "used and consulted by
personnel managers of .'\merica's largest
companies."
To be included in "Who's Who", a
student must ha\X' a combination of
qualities indicating that he is outstanding
and an asset to his school — he must have
character, leadership, scholarship, am!
potentialities.
As a matter of interest the editors of
"Who's W'ho" are at present compiling a
survey of the present status of students
listed in this publication seven and eight
years ago. The purjiose of this survey is
to fiiid out if these studenis, who were
prominent in college, maintain that same
ambition and zeal in business and pro-
fessional life.
Flying Club to Stage
Air Meet Next Week
Spot landings and bombing contests
will be included in the Williams Flying
Club's informal air meet .Siiturday, Decem-
ber 6, President John T. Tuttle '42
announced at Monday night's ground
school meeting. Although no definite
program has yet been released, these two
events are definitely going to be on the
card next Saturday when Williams fliers
compete among each other in preparation
for next spring's intercollegiate meet.
With daily lessons from Instructor
Richard Petras now^ available the Club is
carrying on in full force and boasts more
activity than e\er before. Latest ad-
dition to the South Willianistown squadron
is a late 1939 Taylorcraft Cub model with
side-by-sidc seating.
At present a drive to collect old auto-
mobile tires for use in marking the three
runways is being carried on by this
organization. Painted white on one side
for use in warmer weather, the junked tires
can be turned over to expose the black
surface after snow has covered the field.
MAJOR EXAMS .
(Continued from paiie 1) '
The permissive regulations concern onl>
those seniors whose imluclion into the
army has not been delayed beyond the end
of the present semester— students of J-A
elassilication. A second semester reading
program in the major will be provided for
such seniors, ll is uiulerstood that should
a student secure draft deb-rmeiit, he is to
conlinue his work and lake the regular
June e.\am. Any student who expects to
be called up at midyears and wishes to
take advantage of the February I'Xami-
nalionsis adviseil to make necessary
arrangements before Decendier 5.
Twenty-one Men Lost
The conimitlee's report indicates that
the number of seniors who will not be able
to continue their academic work beyond
midyears is small. Williams has alreads
Inst twent\-ime men to the armed forces.
1 )uring the last war the college adopted
no delinile policy of granting degrees to
men who could not complete their course
because of the war until six months after
the Armistice. In May 1919 the Board of
Trustees voted degrees to seniors who had
completed the lirst semester of their senior
\ear, provided they had been honorably
discharged from their war service and had
completed all the requirements of the
curriculum up to the end of that semester.
Al the same lime the Board voted honor-
ary degrees with the same proviso to stu-
denis who had completed their junior year
before i-nlerint; the war service^

just appreciation of the political position
of the Leftist Revolutionary Party (Part-
ido dc la Izciuierda Revohicionaria- in
short, the PIR) of which 1 am the Chair-
man, on lea\'e of absence while abroad, the
\'ic;'-Chairman being Dr. Ricardo Anaya,
a Professor of Constitutional La« in
Cochabamba, Bolivia. The PIR was
founded in the Leftist Congress of Oruro
on July 26, 1940. It has at present four
Representati\es in the National Congress,
it is not affiliated with any Internationals,
either communistic or any other, it sustains
democratic methods of political struggle,
and it is supported by the most proletar-
ianized masses of Boli\'ia, such as the mine
workers and the most honest University
intellectuals. The PIR has always been,
and is, openly anti-totalitarian. This is
while," said Professor Winch, "despite t
small niindwr of hours of instruction."
RADIO
(Continiif<l Iroin paHC I)
the present date until May. Instructors
A. Edwin Benfield and .Mfred (1. limslie
of the Phy.sics Department will act as
Mr. Stabler's assistants while John O.
Copley '44 and Robert P. Neilson '4,S,
the only two student licensed operators in
college, will aid in codi' instruction.
WMS May Broadcast Code
Opportuiuties will be offered to those
nen who cannot be acconimodateil in
the regular course to learn the coile, a
major prere(|iiisile for the Rsnlio Oper-
ator's License. Mr. .Stabler hopes to
make arrangements with W'M.S to broad-
cast daily half-hour sessions of this Morse
Code. Occasional demonstration lectures
will be also given if sufficient interest is
evidenced by those not enrolled in the
course.
VVinthrop S. Pike and Alexander F.
Smith '41, through their training in
electronics, have olitained commissions
as first lieutenants in the .Signal Corps.
With these cases as examples, Mr. .Stabler
reasserts that the Sigiuil Corps welcomes
anyone with even a slight knowledge of
communications and radio. Croat num-
bers of men are needed by the army to
build,
tanks, supply trucks, and planes and to
work with direction finders and other
instruments.
Other Colleges Respond
This radio (lefen.se course is not uni(|ue
to Williams; most of the colleges in the
country have responded to the calls foi
men trained in comnmnications work.
IJart month has gon<' so far as to give
college credit for the course, while Smith
and Mt. llolyoke h;ive gone ahead in
establishing similar courses to train girls
so that they will have a backgrouiul for
work with airplane detectors and direction
finders.
I . I demonstrated by the |)oints of its Program,
by the action of its Parliamentary Brigade,
and by its practices of political struggle.
The Germans neither tlared, dare, nor would
dare, therefore, to flirt wilh the PIR. But
the PIR is, at the same time, a Party
which fights against the reactionar>'
oligarchies that oppress the Bolivian
people, and for that reason the present
go\'ernment of Bolivia, which is an ex-
pression of these oligarchies, persecuted it
as commiinislic when this word ser\'ed as a
pretext to harass domestic enemies. Now
.some Latin American governments are
using the pretext of nazisni for the same
ends (and also to get loans in the L'nited
States). Even at the time I left Bolivia
(June 1941) to come to Williamstown
(having been invited as a lecturer by the
"Association of Committees for Inter-
American Placement"), workers of the
PIR — members of the National Labor
Union Council — were being persecuted as
NazisC.) This is a camouflage against
which North American opinion must be on
guard. It is a pity that Ciunther also
allowed himself to be deceived a little by
that camouflage.
The Pir< agrees entirely with all the
measures taken to defend the Hemisphere
against the menaces of the foreign Total-
itarians, and also against the treacherous
or mistaken Bolivians who were or are in
effective complicity with the criminal
service, and operate radio sets in | machinations of the Axis. But this is one
thing, and it is another and very different
thing to complicate oneself with the
Creole knavishness of certain Latin Amer-
ican politicians, skillful in inventing
"synthetic conspiracies" in which the
most worthy anti-totalitarians and demo-
crats appear to be "involved" as nazi
plotters
It is not difficult to realize that Mr.
Ciunther, in his hlitztrip by airplane to
Bolivia, was "circled" by groups of persons
interested in making him see only one side
of the political picture. 1 trust that
Ciunthei's opinions, when he becomes more
fully accpiainted with the realities of my
country will be modified substantially.
I did not intend to speak abroad of the
domestic political alTairs of my country,
but the nature of Cunther's judgments has
obliged me to do so.
1 will thank you Mr. liditor, for ptib-
lishing the foregoing rectifications which,
— as a professor here, as well as in Bolivia,
and as a political leader in that country, —
I deem necessary to defend my reputation.

on various topics of current interest by
leading professors, science lectures and
other campus activities.
Williams' Purple Knights, the Glee

ment value of these programs, information
as to the workings of the organizations
and their history will also be broadcast.
Evening broadcasts were considered at
first, but due to better afternocm reception
conditions, the latter time was chosen by
the Pittsfield station. The nearness of the
Jesup studios will make it easier for pro-

.^n olTei of li'deral union between the
two gieat domoiricies, Creat Britain and
the United States, will be made cither by
the British goxi'rnm.'nt to our government
or by our gav^Tunv.-nt to the British govetn-
ment before the end of the war, predicted
i'lof. Frederick L. Schuman, ace prog-
iiosticator of the political science dejiart-
meiit in a Saterday interview.
The (piestion of whether such a move will
come in time to |)re\-eiit world domination
by the Nazi "New Order" remains to be
seen, believes the noted analyst and author,
but "before the war is won some kind of
offer for feder.il union will be made."
'Would Help Win War'
"If it is made in time it would help to
win the war; if it is iiiaile tco late as was
Churchill's offer to Keynaud immediately
before the fall of France, Hitler will have
won the war," he ass'.-rtcd.
The mininiuni terms which would offer
promi.se of achieving the puriMse of such
:i pact acre idiiig to I'lofessoi Schuman
woald involve -i taiiff union, the creation
of a fre' trade area, and a British an.l
Ameii:'an joint s.aff "implying a practical
union of the fighting foices of the two
c.nintries."
"If this were to he a project designed to
appeal to con(|uere(l Kiiropean nations,
which indeed it mu.st be," continued the
political scientist, "it would have to he
merely a basis for a democratic federation
on a world scale, a federation which would
include the nations of South America
and e\eiitually the Nazi dominated
countries themselves."
U. S. Has 'Negative' Policy
I'rofessor Schuman. who has ilenounced
what he terms the "negative" or passive
policies of the United .States and (ireat
Britain since the outset of the war, em-
l)hasized that "In the World War the allied
forces had something to appeal to the world
whereas the Central Powers ilid not.
Now," he said, "things are e.\aetly re-
versed."
"The war is still being envisioned in
British and American circles in terms of
production and supply, which is undeniably
an important factor, but to \mX it as did
Kussoll Davenport's Fortune article, we're
living in a time of world revolutions;
so far we've left Hitler to ride the wave of
that world revolution and control it.
Until we take control, the chances of our
winning the war aie mighty poor."
Ill conclusion, iie repeatcfl, "I regard
some kind of feder.il union between the two
great democracies not necessJiriiy as an
assurance of victory, but definitely as a
prerequisite of victory."

'U. S., Jap Ideals Are
Compatible'- • Dennett
Tyler Dennett, president, emeritus of
Williams College, told a New York Foreign
Policy Association meeting Saturday that
Japan's inability to understand the ideals
of American foreign policy has brought that
country to the verge of a "needless war"
with the United States.
Nippon's efforts to gain by intimidation
and "force" what might be accomplished by
"patience" the speaker termed "foolish
and utterly stupid." Mr. Dennett, author-
ity on American-Japanese relations, pointed
out that a military conflict between the
two nations would be without historical
parallel because Japan and the United
States have cultural and economic interests
that are entirely "compatible." The Unit-
ed States has consistently befriended Japan
in the past and encouraged her advance-
ment, he added.
In his address which he suggested might be
entitled, "A Farewell to Mr. Kurusu," Mr.
Dennett declared that the special Japanese
Ambassador's mission in America was at
an end if he had come here to "find whether
wc would fight." Japan, he asserted, has
not seemed to be able to realize that the
United States does not have a desire for
Pacific monopolies, nor has she understootl
that this nation will not be intimidated.
Other speakers on the Association's
panel includel Henry Luce, editor and
publisher of Time, Life, and Fortune, and
Wilfrid Fleisher, former Tokio correspon-
dent for the Herald Tribune.

"If a student wants to know what makes
the wheels go 'round in Christianity, he
will get an answer from a reading of Eck-
hart," Mr Blakney explained "lie is
best identified to us as the mystic and
preacher who first stated the essential
Quaker idea 200 years before the founding
of the Quaker party This is oddly
contrasted with the present day statements
of German Nazis that he is a member of
their Party in good standing By pervert-

religious philosopher who wanted to
quarrel with no man."

^Berlin Diary' Shirer Sees No Nazi Economic
Collapse;"Says Only United States Can Win War
by Sam Hunted '44
"Loud talk" will not win the war;
America must light to insure the defeat of
Hitler. That is the mea.sured opinion of
plump, balding William L. Shirer, well-
known news commentator and author of
best-selling Berlin Diary.
Pointing out that the United States
must light Hitler eventually, Shirer de-
clared in a recent Record interview that
aside from moral issues the dictates of
"plain horse sense" prescribe ininiediatc
American intervention while this country
can still profit from British and Russian
assistance. Shirer takes sharp issue with
the contention made at Williams by Louis
Fischer three weeks ago that American
production and arms shipments without
full American military participation in the
war can crush the Nazi military machine.
The former CBS Berlin correspondent
admitted that he was at a loss to see how
the American people can expect to win a
war in which they permit their allies to do
all the "fighting and dying".
One* Thought U. S. 'Soft'
A little more than one year ago when
Shirer returned to America after having
spent nearly sixteen years abroad, his
first impression was that Americans had
"gone soft". Their passions for material
security and physical comfort dominated
their thought, and a deadly parallel was
apparent between pre-\'ichy France and
conditions here. Industry was threaten-
ing to strike for 'profit without risk'; an
apprehensive labor movement fearful of
social retrogression under the cover of the
war emergency was causing spasmatic
production holdups; the government was
fearful of antagonizing various pressure
groups and did not take actitm.
America Has Found 'Unity'
In the one short year since his return,
however, Shirer feels that tremendous
progress has been made in the direction of
national unity. Even the Middle West,
traditionally isolationist, is today awaken-
ed to the menace of fascist world domina-
tion according to the astute European
political observer who has just completed'
a lecture tour of that section. Shirer is
confident that the American people see

The Chest Fund Drive
The men who are rnnning thi.s year'.s ("hest Fund have asked lis to
write an editorial al)out the values and the imj)eratives of the annual
charily drive.
There are different vvay.s to get at this mattor of making an appeal to
undergraduates for $6,000.
Some have suggested the shame technique. "Tell them," we are
loltl, "ahout Smith, where the goal is about five times as big and the stu
dent body only a little more than twice as big as Williams."
Some one else has said, "Remind them that they spent more than
twice $6,000 over Amherst weekend, and that over half of $6,000 was
poured into (lancing alone."
Otiiers have suggested that we re.sort to Bartlett's Quotations and the
Bible for conii)elling gems, written at various times during human history
in behalf of sweet charity.
Others wonld jirefer that we remind the undergraduate conmiunity
that here is the oidy time in the year that they are asked to give anything;
that this is the ap|)eal for the year: no one will bother you again.
Frankly, we tlon't think any of this is necessary or desirable. The
Chest Fund always docs a good job of speaking for itself: the collectors
do a more than a(le(inate job of seeing every undergraduate and of
publicizing their goals. The residts don't, and shouldn't depend upon
shame techniques and foiu' or five inches in the college newspaper's
editorial colunnus. The results, whether more or less than $6,000, de-
pend upon the willingness of Williams undergraduates to dig into their
|)0ckets in I he interest of a human way of life. Whether the WCA
collects .Sli.OOO or $1,5,000 is important. It is more important thai the
sum they do collect measures undergraduate generosity and responsibility
rather than the success of forced giving.

Wilhi-lin SdlliiKuin is to talk In Williani.^-
imvn on "Gcrniaiiy's Battle Against ihu
World". Ht'causc I had ni'vcr heart! of
Willu'lni .Sdllniann until two months ai;c),
I surniisi' thiTf iiia\' Uv others who are not
lainiliar with this dislinnuisheil German
political I'lKUic,
.Since early October it lias lieen my
privileije to live ill daily conlaci with him,
coniiiin 'o know him as a friend and to
learn his views on a v^ariety of issues.
Krom this experience 1 wish to comnienil
him to all who have lliis opportunity to
hear liiiii as a man of inlcKrity anil ability
who is also ail outstaiidiiit; sjieaker. It is
characteristic of VVilhelni .Sollmann that
although he spoke no Kn.nlish live years
ago h^^ now is amnnt; ihis countr\'s most
ctTective speakers.
This is hanlly the placi' for biographical
iletail, absurbinn as it is. You may read
I'lsi'when- cif his part in the German \outh
and labor iiiovenieiits prior to I9IS; how
he became leader in Western (jeriiiany of
the kevolution of Novemlier 191SlH'cause
of his dedication to I he cause of democracy
ill Gernian\' and his desire to hold in check
extremists of the left as well as the rinht;
how he carried forward as a member of the
ReichstaK and as the Kditor of a string of
newspapers in the Khineland the work he
had uiiderlaken as a sii;ner of the Peace
Treaty and a founder of the Weimar
Republic. His passive resistance cini-
paign against Krench elTorts to alienate
the Khineland from Germany in 192.H was
a Western forerunner !too little known)
of Gandhi's non-violent resistance again.st
I he British in India.
Wilhelm Sollmann, who as -Secretary of
the Interior under Chancellor Dr. .Strese-
niann held the third highest ofiice in the
Geriiian Ucpublic, knows Nazi practice at
first hand. In 1933, .shortly after being
elected to the Reichstag for the eighth
time, he was attacked, beaten and tortured
by storm troopers. Following a miracu-
lous escape he continued his resistance
against Nazism from the Saar Territory,
then under League mandate. When in
the I93.S pkl)iscile. Hitler won the Saar,
another escape under doaperate circum-
stances was made.
In America as a resident since April
1937, Wilhelm .Sollmann has helpeil to
organize Loyal Americans of German
Descent. He lectures widely and is
active in groups working lo preserve and
extend democracy as a way of life. He
looks forward keenly lo the day next
spring when he may become a citizen of
what he considers the greatest nation on
earth.
Willudiii Sdllniann not only speaks with
aulhority on Germany, l)Ut, as an apt
student of human nature during an
uncommonly active life, he speaks to all
who are concerned with man's efforts to
govern himself. Tho.se in and about
Willianistown who are fortunate enough to
hear him will receive a challenging and
stimulating message from a great human
heart .

the Idtalitariaii danger and "will act in
time".
No German Economic Collapse
Shiior discdunts the possibility of a
German economic collapse under the
pressure of the war. "Although Get many
is being pinched economically, she is
certainly not near the breaking point," he
declared. There is little popular enthu-
siasm in Germany for the war. 'The
German masses want peace, but it must
be a Nazi peace for they fear the wrath of
the coiKiuored and enslaved millions of
occupied Europe. Germany is deter-
mined to win the war at any co.st, Shirer
warned, and she is strong. But the Nazis
will crack under a force of sufliciont
strength. "Only the UnitctI States is
strong enough to provide the necessary
last ounce of strength," he added.
Nazis vs. Russians
Shirer attributes German military suc-
cesses prior to the Russian invasion to
Hitler's strategy of civilian terrorism,
ixiralyzing the enemy behind its lines,
anri great daring in attack. Another
factor in the Nazi successes has been their
understanding of total war. The German
Wekrmuclit has stalled on the Russian
front because it has met a "niodernly
eciuipped army" that understands the
meaning of total war. The Russians have
been the first to learn how to slop the
panzer divisions by defending positions in
depth, allowing tanks to penetrate the
front lines and then isolating and destroy-
ing them.
Hitler's Motive in Russia
Queried on Hitler's motives in turning
on the Soviet Union, Shirer asserted that
this move indicated a Nazi admission of
the inevitability of a long war. For such
an extended contest Hitler needs Russian
resources and Russian production. Shirer
predicted that the Red Army would hold
out even if pushed hack to the Urals as
long as American and British supplies
continue to come through. A Russian
triumph for Hitler would make an allied
victory impossible, and we must see that
"Russia stays in the war indefinilely,"
Shirer asserted.
With Louis Fischer, Shirer believes that
Britain might effect a speedier conclusion
to the war if it were willing to utilize
Hitler's own terror tactics and submit
Germany lo extensive bombings. 'The
lirst bombing of Berlin on August 25, 1940
was a tremendous blow lo German illusions
of invulnerability. Shirer is of the opinion
that a British policy of consistent bombing
rather than inlerniittenl air raids will
strike a damaging and perhaps in the end
decisive blow at German morale.
NYA Job Will Supply
Papers With News Of
Local Boys In College
James M. Burns '.39, assistant to the
president and director of publicity, an-
nounced today that the services of a stu-
dent with an NYA job wouUI soon be made
available for the flooding of home town
newspapers with news about local boys
at Williams.
Mention of this newest addition to the
Williams publicity program was omitted
from the stor\' in Friday's Record, be-
cause of uncertainty about the availability
of an NYA job. Mr. Burns announced
that .since the job has now been definitely
made available, undergraduates can soon
expect to find coverage of their college
activities in their local newsjiapers.
Failure of Williams to provide home
tow'n newspapers with news of Williams
untlergraduates has long been a basic
weakness of Williams publicity organiza-
tion, as Record editorials last spring and
last Friday pointed out.
BLAKNEY
(Continued from pa^c 1)
and does not expect the book to appeal lo
a large audience. It was entirely due to
the recpiest of the publishing company,
who had learned of its existence, that it
was finally printed in book form. At
present it is the only translation of Kck-
hart by an American author save for
scattered quotations and sayings.
There is a great deal of interest in the
mystic in England where one other trans-
lation has been |)ublished and Kckhart
has been translated in Germany, in a
kind of renaissance of his ideas, by about a
dozen authors. One-third of one of these
translations reached Rev Blakney before
the war, but the rest of that manuscript
may never get to this country.
Used Harvard Manuscript
Mr Blakney used a copy of some of
Eckart's work which was loaned by
ll.irvard University for translation. His
book consists also of an historical sketch
of Meister's life, times and influence be-
sides the translation of the two Fckhart
books which occupy the hulk of the
volume.
lickhart lived from 1260-1327 and is of
great interest to moral and religious philos-
ophers. Reverend Blakney's translation
will be of great interest to these scholars
and to students in colleges which teach
moral and religious philosophy courses.
"If my book reaches anyone who will be
influenced by Eckhart anil who can preach
his ideas, it will have gi\'on reason for its
existence," Reverend Blakney concluded.

,uid Bob Plunkett from Albany Academy
with Knox hi^h-scorer in his sch(](il leaRUe.
Ill addition to this the 1945 squad will
have a definite height advantage over last
vear's freshmen which should be another
<tep towartis a uoiid season.
First Cut Tonight
With forty men out fur the s(|uad the
hrst cut will be made toniglit Coach

practices and in an informal .scrimmage
with the varsity Saturday Dick Cobilen

ncll while Holton Bangs, Kandy Brock,
iikI Bob Maxlield have playeil e<iually

I ringer at Albany Academy, is another
man Colman has his eye on.
At present the liaskelball si'ason leads
iff with Drury lliuh on January 111. Wes-
l.y.in Freshmen, Inion Kreshmeii, Albany
Xeaih'my, and Amherst I'reshnicii follow-
ii;j in that order.
Freshman Swimming Team
Sayinn, "This year's tram w ill he one ol
lie best freshman teams I've ha<l" Coach
Hob Muir poiiit<'d out that his s(|uad's
-Ireiinlh lies in the fact that it is a well-
lialanced uroup with "a lot of i;ood solid
and sound material".
Pete Kloecker, sprint man, from Canter-
bury is the only ex-[)rop-school captain
while Hill Case from Andover has shown
good possibilities in the 50 anil 100-yard
events. 'Pony Siiuire, formerly of Austra*
ia, will probably do the 220 and the 100.
Jack X'onel from Blair is in line for the
breast stroke event while Dick Kallmanof
of Paterson High, N. J., is coach Muir's
hope in the backstroke. Bill McCord is
another contender in that division. Dick
Lambert is the squad's best diver to date
while Fritz Henry and Ship Rudolph have
proven to be good material on the spring
board.
The s<iuad's first meet is at R. P. I. on
February 7, with Albany Academy,
Wcsleyan, and Amherst F'reshnien follow-
ing. Both the Albany and Amherst meets
will be in the Lasell Pool.
Twenty-five potential grapplers have
reported to Uncle Ed Bullock this week
with 175-pound Harry Savage, captain of
last year's Exeter team, and Jack Winant
the most promising men. Winant was
captain of Peddle and wrestled for Poly
Prep before that.
Comjietition appears to be strongest in
the heavier classes with most all men who
have had ijrevious experience weighing
over 150 pounds. Although the percent-
age of cxpiTienced men on the s(|uad is
slighth aliove average, prospects for the

Another ambulance on a similar dash up

When (luestioned regarding the raid she

150th year of .Statehood, the school paid
tribute to a distinguished alumnus, the
late John Barrett, who was a founder and

considerable action last season, four of
them having started in the second .Am-

In an elTurt to find a combination
that will work together, Burnett has been
constantly shifting the line-up of the
second five. Don Lindsay, John Bridge-

Because of the size of his present squad,
Burnett plans to cut the aggregation to
between fifteen and eighteen players this
week. Those cut will comprise a junior
varsity squad which will practice at night.

as they affected the student. He also
traced the development of the college's
1919 policy of awarding war degrees.
1917 War
In 1917 the war emergency came in the
middle of the second semester following
the April 6 formal war declaration. Early
that semester a Reserve Officers' Training
Corps had been established at Williams,
A draft law was not passed until June of
that year. Consequently, the college
community was not affected by the
Selective Service Act. Most of the under-
graduates who left college in the spring of
1917 did 80 as volunteers and usually
attended the first Plattsburg camp, which
began May IS.
The dcinand at that time upon the
colleges was made in an effort to overcome
immediately a shortage of officer material
that had arisen in connection with the
hurried creation of a large military force.
The Reserve Officers' Training Corps has
been functioning ever since the war and
today there is no such shortage. The
number of students who are being called
upon to enter the armed forces is much
smaller than in 1917.
Commenting on the 1917-18 war degree
policies of the college. Acting President
Newhall placed special emphasis on the ab-
sence of a major examination at that time.
He indicated that any attempt to apply
those policies today would raise problems
as to the extent to which the major require-
ment would be sacrificed as a prerequisite
for a Williams degree. The action of the
Committee on Educational Policy was
based on this consideration.
In his review of the development of war
degrees during the last war Acting Presi-

Stage Design Exhibit
On View At Museum
In answer to a growing interest in drama
on the campus precipitated b\' the com-
pletion of the Adams Memorial Theatre,
the Lawrence Art Museum presents an
exhibition devoted to the art of the theater.
Entitled "The Development of Stage
Design", the exhibit will be shown from
December 7 to 20.
Lent by the American I'ederation of
Arts, the display has been arranged by
Waldemar Johansen, technical director of
dramatics at Stanford llniversit\'. .'\p-
proxiniately fifty designs, in color and
black-and-white, of .settings for Cireck,
Shakespearean, seventeenth and eight-
eenth century, and modern phiys are
included. Emphasis is placed on the
historical development of stage design
and the different theatrical methods of
various cultures and periods. Such tech-
nical matters as three-diiTiension.il volume,
correlation between actors and setting,
and the designer's approach are illustrated.
The designs range in chronological order
from "The Trojan Women" of I'-uripides
to Maxwell Anderson's "Star Wagon."

Start to Show Form
Tentative Relays Picked
For Precision Training
Coach Hob .Muir's swiniiiiing squad is
responding to its practice riaitiius this
week and lieginning to Like shape as ,in
elTective team. Crippled by hea\'y losses,
the Purple mennen are wiirking hard in
order to capitalize on every small adv.iii-
tage that conies their way.
A tent itive 400-yard rela>' team of Jack
Baxter, Bill Wilson, Steve Ober, and Don
Early his lieen formed and is jiract icing
starts and finishes in an effort lo attain
earh'-season polish. lAlthough Muir
stresses the fact that no combination call
be sure so soon, he hopes to be able lo
start these four against Massachusetts
State College an January 10.
More difficult is the picking of the
medley relay group. Bill Budge iiid Koss
MacDonaUl are both candidates for the
first backstroke leg, as are .Art Wright and
llank llewetson for the breast strokidierth.
The one sure position on the cimiliinalion
SL'cms to go to sprinter Don Early in the
anchor skit .
Muir feels that by the end of the week,
Art Wright, senior breast stroker, will be
showing his best form and ready to stail
training for time. Sam Bacon, the squad's
bulwaik, is already giving observers gooil
reason for expeding him lo carry the bulk
of the Williams burden in competition.
Of the sophomores on the squad, liank
Hewctson and Ross MacDonald havi-
shown the quickest improvement. Mac-
Donald, primarily ■■' backstroker, may be
featured later in the season in the free style
events if the need arises.

Athletic Policy
Tlicre is as much griping at Wiliiam.s ahoiit athletics and athletic
policy a.s I here is uhout anything else, but we can certainly glow warmly
in llie knowledge I hat the followiii),' five-point program for subsidized
alliietics has been offered at a college other than ours:
1. Uelentioii of the present .scholastic requirements.
2. Full scholarships, inclndiug all college fi'cs.
;5. Supplying players with hooks.
I. Living aceominodatioiis and training talile during the school year
for players.
5. .Vtfeinpl to attain |)art-linie jobs for players through cooperation
of ahiinni, etc.
Tiiis proposal has recently been offered at NYU by the Undergrad-
uate Ne\v.s|)aper ("ouncil of the university. How much is left undetermin-
ed in the "etc." of point five we do not know, but to anyone who has not
lost sight of the nici-its and purposes of athletics, the NYU proposal be-
criiiies a slander on everything good in the word athletics.
It is very true that Williams athletics arc not all that they ought to
be. VVe side with the thirty-two freshmen who want a recognized fresh-
man ski team. We think that Williams needs an indoor hockey rink
much more than a maternity wing for the infirmary, which has been
talked about in some circles. We admit that undergraduates and coaches
many times have run against stone walls in efforts to make a <lent on .some
])art of the athletic .setup of the college.
But it fakes .somcfhing like this bold and mafter-of'-f'act i)lan at
N^ U, published recently in the New York 7'(/;jc.s, to send home the very
real fact that in s|)ile of .shortcomings, Williams at least knows what
counts ill athletics. Williams is not interested in |)ampering any of its
iiiidergrailiiJites beyond the point of maintaining a .staff of superior coaches,
exactly in the way it is not interested in i)am|)eriiig them in the classroom
beyond maintaining .a superior faculty. At Williams athletics arc not
considered in terms of dollars.
.Vfhietics find expression here in small foams in which coaches and
niembers know each other; in athletic contests at which spectators are
considerably more interested in wlio is playing than in whether a particular
game has drawn the biggest gate of the year; in intramurals or in a mania
for si(ua.sh. From the year one, athletics have had no better reasons for
existing than in the development of the body and in the sjiort and ex-
l)ei'ieiice of group activity. A story on the front page of tonight's RKCOiii)
shows how far from these purposes Yale has come in its emphasis upon the
stray rewards of athletics — money and victory. One of the virtues, the
advantages, of Williams lies in the success with which it has maintained
a (listinelioii between purpo.ses and rewards. Our athletic iJolicy does
not always answer every need and every demand, but we have not come to
the .sad slate of afl'airs which prevails at Y'ale and N. Y. U., where fortui-
tous rewards are cf>rrupting wholly good purposes.

lirecl |)etition of a student. On March
28, 1917 a petition asking for permission
to take final examinations immediately in
s^'cond semester courses was granted to a
student who had been appointed to the
N,ival Coast Patrol Ueser\e.
On April 20 after the American war
declaration the faculty voted that seniors
eligible for graduation in June would he
recoMiniended for their degrees without
further retpiirements, provided they were
withdrawing from the college to enter
innnediatel\' into ambulance service in
France. At the C.immenceinent of 1917
upon recommendation of the faculty and
by act of the Trustees ftirty-cight of the
10() graduating seniors who were serving
in the National .Service had their degrees
conferred upon them in absentia.
The necessity for the college authorities
to give further consideration to the policy
of dealing with students who were leaving
college to enter the armed forces did not
arise again until December 3, 1917 one
month prior to the opening of the Third
Officers' Training Camp. At that time a
special committee which included Pro-
fessors Hardy, McLaren, and Meats was
appoiiite,! from the faculty to consider the
best method for giving proper college
credit in the cases of students leaving for
the National .Service. In the final recom-
mendations students who had seven
semesters of academic work credited to
them were considered eligible for their
degrees.
No other significant action was taken
until six months after the Armistice. At
that time the Faculty voted and the Board
of Trustees appro\'cd the granting of
degrees to all seniors with seven semesters
of academic work who had been discharged
honorably from the Service. It was also
voted to grant honorary degrees to men
who had completed three college years
before entering the armed forces.
•Swelling the long list of Williams men
in the nation's service are Thorndike
Williams '39, and Cordis M. Sargent
ex-'40, who are currently being trained for
a commission in the Army .Air Corps.
.Stationed at Maxwi'll Field, Ala., the\'
will be put through an exten.sive .30 weeks'
cimr.se in aeronautics, upon concIusi(m of
which they will become second lieutenants.
Wrestlers Preparing
For Lafayette Opener
Sophomores Look Good
After First Workouts
With an eye lo the forthcoming srason's
opener against Lafayette December 19,
Captain ;\n Richmond's grapplers are
settling down to serious business. Hard
ivorkouts arc being held daily, with in-
formal matches aiul tryouts .scheduled for
next week.
Although faced with the problem of rc-
|)lacing such cajiable |)erformers as former
captain Jake Earle and Pete Richards,
Coach till Bullock has high hopes for a
successful season, provided all his first
team men can stay whole. The most
serious dillicully as he sees it is the fact
that in each weight division there is only
one good wrestler, which leaves the team
open to sickness or injury.
Captain Richmond has moved up this
year to the 128-pound division, leaving his
former 121 -pound berth open for Bill
Imbric, who wrestled for the freshiacn
last year. .Sophomore Bobby Brown will
wrestle at 13.S, and Bob Derge seems to be
the chief contender for the 145-pound
position. 15,S is a tossup between soph-
omores Shcp I^oor and Herb Bell, both of
whom were on last year's freshman team.
In the upper weight divisions. Bill
Klopman, junior standout who is at
present recovering from a head injury,
will be at 165 pounds, with last year's
freshman captain Rob Jones at 175. Bob
Blakney, who alternated last year with
Richards, has the heavyweight division
to himself at present.

"J" Pile first of these weaknesses was a slow

House of C'onnelly is on the verge of total

The play has dated, not too seriously but

more than interesting last night, where ten

enormously e.\citing, keeping it on the

nature of this strange region we call the
.South is to be found. And the evils thai
fly up out of it like the wheeling buzzards
will be finally driven oil, and the carrion of
ignorance and poverty now corrupting the
body politic will be cleansed away
But no matter what happens, whether the
ragged sharecroppers wind up with hard-

electric lights and gold teeth from the
dentist or not, human drama will go on.
For there is no solution to life except death.
And the only mysterious thing about the
South is that it is so full of both. I don't
know why this is so. Only those who
understand the will of (iod and the prin-

7. If the college asked for your
eJerment, what was the date o£ such
request?
Students not yet classified, or classi-
|i(!d as lA, should also be prepared to
iiswer the following questions:
B. If you have asked your local

Two-car Caravan Heads for Capital; Inability
To Obtain Tickets Causes Furor in Jesup
A rec|uest by Al James to Doc Phillips'
last night to accompany him to a movie at
The Walden precipitated a fi\'e-hoiir
telephone debauchery that piled up a hill
equiviilent to the charge for a three-minute
conversation with W. Churchill, a mass
exodus of nine undergraduates on a mid-
night dash to Washington, D. C, and
brought about strained relationships be-
tween Williams College in general and
most of the celebrities worth celebrating
in the country.
After dinner last night Al James met
Doc Phillips in the library at the DKE
House and asked, "Do you wanna go to
the movies?" "I can't," Phillips replied,
"Do you want to go to Montreal?" James
countered with. "Heck, no. But I want to
gj to Washington. "
Phillips ugree<l that would be ni-e, so
James telephoned his father in New York,
who advised him to contact the Hon . John
J. O'Connor, famed "purged" Congress-
man from thai state to try to secure tickets
forth.; special session. Three times ihcy
tried, but O'Connor couldn't be found.
The second attempt was a call from
Phillips to Presitlent James P. Baxter III
in Washington, who declared he had
nothing that could be released, said
"Goodnight" and hung up. Then Don
Booz stepped in and phoned Max Lerner,
tt ho suggested that they attempt to secure
press cards from New England papers, or
call PM or The Nation and see what they
could do.
Acting on this suggestion, Al Whiting,
recruited in the interim, called the City
Editor of the North Adams Transcript,
and asked if they could be their repre-
sentatives in Congress. They were po-
litely informed that that sort of business
was handled adequately by AP, and that
a press card from the Transcript might be
insufficient.
Unsuccessful here, they phoned the
Managing Editor of PM, who unpolitely
told them the war was a big thing, and not
to be hacked by college newspapers.
At this point spirits began to wane,
until Butts Whiting remembered he had a
friend, a Mr. Glenn Peiry, who was a big-

The grim reality of the war struck closer lo the eiilirc Wil-
liams campus yesterday when the United Stales Navy suffered
heavy and unexpected losses in its first encounter with ,|apanese
forces. The reverses met hy the U. S. Pacific forces aroused great
concern for several Williams men and local residents who are
participating in the fighting in Hawaii and around the Philippines.
Al 2:28 p.m. Williams was writing Idlers home and studying.
Williams was returning from Charily Ball al Smith when the news
broke that Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor. It was learned that
twenty Williamslown boys and at least si.\ Vi illiams graduates
were stationed in the fighting area.
Immediate campus reaction was one of tense expectancy.
At 6:30 p.m. all social unils on the can^pus were rocking with
such enthusiastic comments as "We'll clean them in six weeks,*"
and " \V hat the hell do ihey think they're doing?" Most ambitious
among the suggestions offered was that of a grou|> of studenls who

Sollmann, Leading Figure
In Weimar Republic
Eluded Gestapo in '33
F. Wilhelni Sollmann, one of the
original founders of the German Weimar
Republic and Secretary of the Interior
under Chancellor Dr. Stresemann, has
been fighting the light of democracy over
two decades. Tomorrow night at 7:30
he will speak in Jesup Hall under the aus-
pices of the Lecture Committee on "Ger-
many's Battle Against the World."
Sollmann comes to Williams from the
Pendle Hill Graduate School for Religious
and Social studies as an authoritive eye
witness of the corruption of democracy in
Germany. Statesman, journalist, adminis-
trator, and educator, he saw Hitler's
barbarism crush the republic which he
helped found.
Militant Democrat
Sollmann inaugurated his colorful and
hazardous career as a militant German
democrat in 1911 as Editor-in-Chief of the
Daily Rheinische Zeitung published in
Cologne. In the days prior to the war he
played an important role in the German
youth and labor movements. In 1918 he
became leader in Western Germany of the
November Revolution and successfully
held in check the extremists of the right
and left.
Sollmann was one of the signers of the
peace treaty and was important in the
founding of the now defunct Weimar
Republic. From 1928 to 1933 he served
in the Reichstag. He was appointed to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs as an
expert on disarmament and participated
in a series of international conferences.

While he served in the German Icgis-

When
press it was impossible to ascertain
whether or not Lieutenant Christie and
Private Steele had been involved in the
day's lighting. Other Williams men sta-
tioned in the ccmibat area are William T.
Carleton '35 and Robert I. Rothschild '40
at Pearl Harbor, and Jay W. Martin '3')
at Cavite, Philippines.
It was reported to Thk Rfcord that
the son of swimming coach Bob Muir was
stationed at Hickam Field as an aerial
photographer, where 350 men were report-
ed killed.
Robert W. Mist '44 also reported to
The Recoiib that his brother-in-law had
been a member of the crew on the U. S. S.
West Virginia, reported sunk in the aerial-
naval engagenuiit at Pearl Harbor. The
fate of Mist's relative had also not been
determined when Thk Recohd went lo
press.
Faculty opinion was immediately regis-
tered— bordering from casual acceptance
to complete surprise. World event prog-
nosticator and campus political science
professor. Max Lerner voiced his ideas as
"Oh, It's begun has it? It's a desperate
act by Japan. It's a last gambling effort
to keep America out of the European war,
and was probably directed by German
officials. We must never forget that
Nazism is the primary enemy of <mr
nation. We must see Japan only ,as a
part of the undivided World War!"
X'incent MacD. Harnett, Instructor in
political .science, said of the situation, "A-*
mazing, isn't it? I thinklhisprettydehnitely
substantiates the theory that they've been
stalling for time. Kurusu's mission was
not bona fide. The Japanese were fooling
us, and their sword-rattling policies were
really so."
Acting President Richard A. Newhall
had already learned of the Japanese attack
and was ready to comment on the action.
"It doesn't surprise nic. Isn't this more
or less what we expected? This has been
on the books for quite a time and at last
it's coming out. It is characteristic of
both the Asiatic and European enemies

Letter to Editors
IJecenilier <), 1941
lo llie lidilor.'. »/ 'I'liio Kkcoki):
I wish lo eorrecl a statement which
appeared in your issue for December 5.
."Xt the Round Table on Japanese-Amer-
ican relations 1 tlid not say, as reported,
that Japan would back down. What I
did say was that Japan had backed down
on previous (jccasions, and I raised the
(|Uestion whether it would do so again.
There was no substanlial <lilTerence of
opinion between I'rofessor Schunian and
myself.
.As a matti't (jf fact, il seems to me ex-
tremely unlikeU- that Japan will back
down. The last time this occurred was at
Ihe Washington Conference of 1921-1922.
Since I hat lime Japanese ambitions have
so expandeil, and (heir success in realizing
these ambitions has been so great, that
any hope of substantial concessions on
I heir part seems to me in vain. I doubt
if the whole history of diplomacy would
show one instance where a nation placed
as Japan now is has abandoned a career of
contjuest except as the result of military
defeat. Moreover, il is no more than a
i|uestion of ihe U)ss of national prestige.
It is a (pieslion of the continued control of
Japanese policy by the present ruling
military cli(|ue. llial I hey should confess
I'ailure by abamloning their polic\- of
.iggression which Secretary Hull has so
r(]un(!ly condenined seems to me ipiite
unthinkable. I am, therefore, agreed with
Professor Schunian I hat at some lime or
other the Japanese government will feel
compelled lo resort lo force. The only
other possibility, as I see it, is that if
(iermany should be <lefeated before the
Japanese make up their nii|nds to act,
they would be compelled lo accept such a
solution of the Far liastiTii (piestion as the
United States and Great Britain might
dictate. In view of the strength of Ger-
many and the steadily worsening position
of Japan this seems to me a very remote
possibility.

WASHINGTON TRIP
(Continued from page U
wig on the New York Sun. Encouraged,
the menangcric of journalists, whose
numbers had grown to about twenty by
this time, stood by while Whiting called
Washington again. The office was closed,
so he told the operator to ring his home.
Mr. Perry wasn't in, but his wife .said she
had spoken to him at the White House,
and that perhaps he could be reached
there. Whiting began to tremble. Would-
n't it be better if she phoned him there, and
then he called back? Whiting promised
a bottle of champagne as [he reward of
success, but iVlrs. Perry persisted. .So he
broke the connection, and asked the
operator to ring "the — the- White House
in Washington, D. C."
The line was busy. Ten minutes later
the iihone rang, and nerves already frayed,
snapped. Fred Rudolph screamed, "It's
the President." Hut it was only a call foi
Mert O'Dell. Then Washington came
through. Mr. Perry wasn't in; he'd just
stepped out for a cup of coffee. Whiting
then instructed the Western Union boy to
deliver the following message:
"liutler Whiting, Jr. iS: Co. is coming to
Washington tomorrow to try to get into
Congress. He hopes Mr. Perry will give
him all possible assistance."
After this, 'I'he Recoud office became
the scene for a council of war. Doc
Phillips was the first to develop cold feet,
declaring it seemed silly to travel all that
way just to see "some people." Anyway
they weren't sure they could even get in.
Rudol|)h shouted again, "Isn't there
something we can do to postpone this
declaration M war?" In the middle .jf
the confab the conversation digressed into
nautical science and the amount of money
necessary to build a decent battleship.
Whiting broke the deadlock by leaving to
cash a check.
Hooz and Cantwell began counting
noses of those who wanted to go. F^very-
one was uncertain until Rudolph quietly
asked if anyone hail tried Scud Parker '41,
secretary to a Senator from Connecticut.
Wils Prophet snatched up the phone,
reached Parker and ,tsked what he could
do. Parker said he couldn't get tickets
for the joint meeting, but declared he
could procure them for the following
.Senatorial discussion.
That was enough; eight ambitious
undergraduates snatched up toothbrush
and comb and piled into two automobiles.
At the last report those making the trip:
Currie lirewcr, Bill Cantwell, Don Booz,
Doc Phillips, Butts Whiting, Al Whiting,
Gordon Getsinger, Wils Prophet, and Bob
Griggs.
An anti-climactic note was furnished by
the discovery two hours after the caravan
had departed that Whitney Wooflruff, who
had spoken to At James at dinner and
originated the idea, was left in the DKE
library waiting for the plans to materialize.
the debate against Princeton on ihe
subject Resolved, Thai the FVcleral
Government Should be Allowed to Regu-
late Labor, scheduled for last Saturdax
afternoon, failed to materialize when the
Tiger team failed lo appear for ihe .second
successive year.
Officials of the Franklin Count>' Probate
Court in Greeniicld have disclosed thai
residual bequests from the will of the late
Mrs. Fanny ii. ,S. Peabody amounting to
$254,762, may be divided betwe;-n Wil-
liams College and Bryn Mawr College.
Mrs. Peabody, a resident of Greenfield,
was not known to have hati any ties with
either institution other than many friends
among both alumni groups.
In an editorial urging thai the women
o£ America "who from the lirsl have been
the outspoken advocates of war, should
not be kept out of ihi' trenches" the Vale
News cited work done by the opposite sex
in England. Il pointed out how much
destruction one woman in an autoniobih'
of less than three tons can do on the
Merritt Parkwa\- in an elTort to show^ the
po.ssibililies of "combining a woman and
a thirtv Ion lank".

Council on Etiucation is sending a supple-
mentary form to colleges and universities
to procure three addilional t\pes of in-
formation: (1) an estimate of the nundier
of men who did not return, but who prob-
ably would have returned to college this
fall if the\- could have been assured thai
the year's work would not be interrupted
by induction; (2) an estimate of the
number who have left college since the
beginning of the academic year because
they have been inducted or ha\'e volun-
teered; and (3) specific cases of men in-
ducted during the year who would other-
wise have received degrees in February or
June, 1942.
This informal ion is designed to aid ihe
Council's representation to the Selective
Service lleadc|uarters for a change in
administrative procedure and to the Senate
Militar\' Afl'airs Committee on behalf of
S. 1504.
WAR
(Continued from page 1 )
we are lighting. I am glad the>- started
it off."
Arthur 11. Buffinton, a.ssociate professor
o history, was slightly surprised at the
suddeness of the Japanese action. Said
he "I didn't expect it so soon." And
Walter W. McLaren, Walter Brough Pro-
fessor of economics, ejaculated, "You don't
mean it? The war is on! I didn'l expect
it despite current discussion."
At the Sunday night chapel, Rev. A.
Grant Noble, college chaplain prayed for
men of government that they might govern
with wisdom for a "truer and more abiding
order," while Vesper's preacher. Rev.
Boynton Merrill of West Newton asked
that men during war time "think spa-
ciously, live graciously, and love good
works."
Prof. Paul Birdsall, professor of history,
felt that the attack was "inevitable," and
he added "it is good they attacked us to
unify American public opinion." In
analysing Ihe Japanese action, Mr. Bird-
sall did believe it "incredibly fantastic"
and he had not thought the Japanese
would make a "direct attack." I thought
they would edge into I hailand but such a
drastic move is beyond belief," he added.

Lerner, Walsh, Sweezy See Americas War
Effort Hampered by Smith Anti-Strike Bill
Thrci' Williams professors, a polilical'l'
scientist, anil two economists, see a bleak
luluie for America's efTectiveness in the
lij>lil aKiiinst Hitler if the Senate passes
I he Smith anti-strike bill.
Drs. Max I.erner, Kaynionil Walsh,
,in(l Alan Swec/.y agree that the Smith
labor measure will mean: (1) a (leadeninj;
blow to labor morale, (2) a serious ob-
^1 ruction of defense production, and (3)
I stimulation of national disunity anil
"America First" sentiment. The sweep-
Inn Smith anti-strike legislation places
.1 ban on orKanizalion and jurisdictitmal
■itrikes, and also on strikes where the clo.sed
^hop is the issue. It has been passed in
1 he House and is currently under consider-
.ilion on the Senate floor.
Labor Bears Brunt
PriifessorLernerfeels that since labor must
hear the principal burden of the war, any
-erious l)low to its morale might have ilis-
.istrous consequences in terms of a demo-
iratic victory. The problem, as he sees it,
IS whether the ordinary man can get a
lijihtinn faith in democracy and its war,
whether he feels he has a stake In what
he is called on to defend, and whether he
leels he has hail a share in building policy.
I.crner views repressive labor legislation
hke the Sniilh bill as fatal to "all the work
done in the C.l.O. to convince them of
I he genuineness of the democratic intent
.if the administration." He H"i's alonn
solidly with Dorothy 'Phompson in her
■.latenienl: "No nation can wage a two-
Iront war — one against Hitler and one
, (gainst labor."

Strung with Gut
Dr. Walsh, lecturer in economics, feels
that the Smith bill willresuUinapniduelion
slow-down and will not solve the problem
of .strike. The only way to do this is lo
keep an atmosphere of negotiation and
mediation In the labor situation— not one
of force and coercion. Walsh advocates
establishment b\' law of the present nation-
al machinery as a possible solution lo the
problem.
In his stalinienl for Tun Kkioiid on
the motives behind the Smith anti-strike
measure, Walsh declared, "I'he effect on
labor morale of this bill would be so
disastrous as to make me think that it was
designed for the express purpose of under-
mining labor morale." Walsh anticipates
a sharp rise in John L. Lewis' stock if
the Smith bill is passed by the Senate.
He feels that under such circumstances,
"in such an atmosphere of force," it is
very doubtful that the administration will
ever "lie able to get us into the war."
"America First Meat"
Assistant Professor Sweez\- sees the
Smith bill as "meat for America First"
and "one of the best ways to hold up
produclion." Such legislation will only
result in more strikes and iiUerveiuionist
disaffection. Sweezy anticipates "out-
bursts of violence" and some "very
nasty situations" if the bill is passed and
the government tries to enforce it on
recalcitrant unions.

SOLLMANN
(Continued from paiie 1)
laliiie .Sollmann also found time lo edit a
string of liberal newspapers In the Rhine-
land and contribute to the development
of his country's educational facilities. In
the j)ost war period he was a mendier of
the Executive Hoard of the National
I'Vderation for Adult ICilucation, co-
founder of the rniversit\" of Cologne and
the Karl Schurz Society. As early as 192.S
.Sollmann showed an active interest in
world peace and world order. At that
time he was vice-president of llu- Societ>'
for Kuropean Kedei'ation and a member of
the Interparliamentarian I'nion.
Sollniann was number three man in the
C'.erman Republic of 192.? as Secietary of
the Interior to Stresemann. It was In
1923 also that he waged his passive resis-
tance campaign against Fi'ench efforts lo
alienate the Rhineland fiom Gernian\ .
His tactics were a Western forerunner of
Ciandhi's non-violenl resistance against
the liritish in India.
Escapes From Nazism
Sollmann saw the Nazis murder Cierman
democracy. He is oidy too familiar with
Hitler's ruthless terrorism. In 1933,
shortly after being elected to the Reichstag
for his eighth term, the distinguished
German statesman was attacked, brutally
beaten, and tortured by Hitler's slorm
troopers. Somehow he managed a mirac-
ulous escape to the Saar territory, then
under a League mandate. He continued
his vigorous resistance against Nazism as
editor of the Daily Deutsche Freihril until
Hitler won the Saar in the I93,S plebiscite.
Sollmann managed another escape under
desperate circumstances.
As an Ami'rlcan resident since ."^pril
1937 Wilhelm Sollmann has continued in
his dedication to the cause of democrac\".
He has helped organize Loyal Americans
of German Descent, lectures widel\-. and
is active in a number of political and
religious groups. His most recent publi-
cation was a iNovember pamphlet on
"Religion and Politics".
There is a possibility that .Sollmann nia\
participate with Professor Max Lerner in
an afternoon round table preceding his
scheduled address of the evening.

Revamped Offenae
The revamped offense finds Harnes as
the only pivot man, while forwards l?ob
Wallace and Jack llarter play along the
sides of the court. Ouintajia and Roy
Tolles complete the (piintet at the gnard
posts, well outside the zone (U'fensc. Fast
passing from one side of the floor to the
other has been the keynote to get the
enemy out of posilion.
Harnes is making full use of this year's
addition to the rulebook wliich allows a
player to be in [; jssession of the b^ll within
the keyhole, but beyond the foul line, as
long as he wants. This rule had formerly
been passed to do away with "bucket
plays," the use of a tall man under the
hoop to convert most of the tallies.
Middlebury Game
Scrimmages last week with the second
team and the yearling i|uintet have found
the lirsl five far from miil-season form.
However, th ■ passing and shooting have
improved vastly, and Burnett expects his
squad to be in toi)-(liglit condition against
the Panthers. Last year Krankie Hush's
outfit rolled over the X'crniontcrs by a
44-.i2 count.
Primary concern of the coach and
captains now is to whip the second team
into shape. With f.nir tilts before Christ-
mas, and tweh'e of the seventeen scliedided
coidlicts oil the road, the reser\'e strength
of the s(|uad will be a large factor in the
success of the season. 'l"he sec<:)n(l five at
present is made up of four ine.\|)erienced
sophomori's and a jimior up from last
year's junior varsit> .
Purple Key Society
Gets Into High Gear
I'nrple Key jiresident Charles Tower
indicated this week that the organization
of varsity sports managers may help the
Outing Club in planning the l'M2 Winter
Carnival, which comes after Midyear
exams. No conclusive steps have yet
been taken in this direction, however.
The Purple Key is taking an active part
in the Athletic Ollice this year, through its
secretary, Craig Huff '42, who is acting
as Mr. Osterhout's assistant. Previously
this position, filled by Miles Fox '40 last
year, has never been hold by an imder-
graduate.
The association of managers, formed last
year, has been granted complete control
over all managers by the Undergraduate
Council. This power includes the removal
of incompetant managers, the filling of any
vacancies, and settling of all problems in
the managerial line.
.\lthough the com|)etitive ilebnls of all"**
freshman si)orts do not take place until
after the (,'hristmas recess, many of the
teams have advanceil through the con-
ditioning stage, and are conceiUrating on
teamwork and individual play, as their
sports demand.
Hockey Handicapped
.-\ notable exception to this statement is
Whoops Snively's hockey outfit. Ilaiuli-
ca|)|)ed by the failure of ice to appear on
either Hog Pond or the Cole Field Kink,
they have been holding chalk ilrills in
I iopkiiis I lall. Whoops feels, however,
that ice is due this week, and w ill be ready
to begin i)iactice the moment it does.
PlaTis are to let freshmen use the pond
for a «eek before the>' are mo\ed over to
the rink. This will give them a chance
to toughen up weak ankles and wrists be-
fore starting scrinnnages. Prep-school
captains Al Lincoln of llotchkiss and
Phil Smith of Hrooklyn Prep head a
thirty-five man turnout.
Basketball Squad Cut
On the other hand the Freshman basket-
ball squad has been rapidly developing,
and has now undergone its final cut. The
sixteen men who survived are concen-
trating on plays in which their earlier
shooting and ball-handling drills stand
them in good stead. .\ Rhode Island
State type of play, with defensive pressure
all over the floor, and quick breaks, is
emjihasized.
The varsity fi\e found the fast-breaking
freshman attack hard to handle last
Thursday, and were pushed all the way b\-
the yearlings. Showing up particularly
Indoor Track Team
Depends on Veterans
Weakened by the departure of Captain
Pete Parish and Mill X'ietor '41 and Hill
McClelland, Pete Van Cott, and Ralph
Reilly '43, who have joined the Services
of the United States C.overnntent, Coach
Tony Plansky sees his indoor track team,
as "just fair."
In the nuiin event, the mile relay, Coach
Plansky will have to rel\- heavily on
veterans Warner Peck and Brew
Chapman. In addition to Peck and
Chapman, Plansky looks to Juniors Paul
He|)pes, Howard Spring, and Charlie
Keeves to fill the two remaining positions.
Sophomores ImI lilanchfield and John
Neilson shotdd de\elop during the season.
Neilson, star freshman harrier last year,
has been slow in shaping up this year.
Fd Sjiaeth, training for the 50-yard dash,
will probably fill that role this season.
Coach Plansky plans to enter his team
in the Knights of Columbus tyames and
the Boston A. A. Games in Boston, and,
if it shows enough promise, in the Millrose
and 1. C. 4A Games in Madison Scjuare
Garden, New York City.

Prince Meet
Bob Muir's tankmen are begimiing to
shape up, and further light will be shed on
the situation by this week's Prince Meet,
in which Bob expects to see the 50-yard
free style mark go by the boards. This
scpiad has no individual stars of the
calibre of Tommy Creede or Jim l.aMent,
but is a well-balanced grou]). Muir will
be forced to shift some of his dashmen to
the longer distances, as these events are
weak.
Kd Bullock's grapplers are still working
on fundamentals, and pounds continue to
drop off his twentyfi\e man squad.
The heavier divisions are strong this year,
and football co-captain .\rt \'or.\s is rapid-
ly developing into a capable man for the
unlimited division in this, his first season.
Squashmen Inexperienced
Although the '45 Sipiash team is the
least experienced freshman squad. Coach
Clarence Chaffee declares there are dcfi-
inte potentialities. Most of the candidates
are several months or a year away, and
they lack the all-important competitive
experience which is so vital on the s(iuash
court. Heading an active ladder is Bud
Fdwards, and behind him are Bart \'an
Mesdag, Buzz Starring, Art Howe, and
Free Boynton. Ted Lewis and Tom
Hoover have chances of breaking into this
first five.

production of the Art of the Theatre

The one-act "modern interpreta-
tion of a medieval farce which com-
bines light huiuor with the story of the
Nativity," is being produced entirely
by the Art of the Theatre course
under the direction of Max Flowers
and James Michael. Every member
of the course has some function, as a
part of either the cast or technical
crew.
Seriously handicapped by the loss of its
coach and Captain-elect lilliott Bates, the
varsity fencing team enters the coming
campaign with the bo|)e to regain the Little
Three title it lost last season. Of the
lettenncn on last winter's scpiad, only
Juniors Randy Kraft aiul lla\s Downe
return for action.
The brunt of the load for carrying the
team will fall on the shouhlers of a group of
eight sophomores, graduates from last
season's freshman group.
Kraft, who has been elected captain, with
sophomores Mank Hunter, Bud Mohr, and
Jack Wilson will comprise the sabre division,
while Bowne will lead the foils with
sophomores Hud Bailyn, Gordon Dickey,
Hank Niemitz, and Milt Prigoff to support
him. The epce should be handily taken
care of by PrigolT and Larry Slade.
Last winter's loss of the Little Three
title and record of one win, three defeats
combines with the absence of foil and epee
diamps, Captain Myles Burford '41 and
Bates to make the road ahead a rocky one
for the fencers. Despite these obstacles,
Kraft feels the team has the spirit to come
through.
Badminton Club Joins

Colmnhia, Pennsylvania and Lehigh.
The five-game schedule of the club with
teams in the league will be augmented by
two association-sponsored invitation tourn-
aments in March, one at ^'ale and the
other at Penn.
Until two weeks before midyear exams,
prospective members of the Williams team
will practice in PT sections. At that
time a tournament will be heUI from which
a ladder of fifteen players ran lie formed.
The first six men on the ladder will auto-
matically represent the club in matches.

Losing only to Princeton in the matches
scheduled last se.ison, the team has
veterans Bill WulfflelT '42, Tom Blair and
Ted Richardson '4.*, and Buck and Al
Maulsby '44, to draw on for this year's
s(|uad. Since badminton is an unorganized

Co-Captains Humby Quintana and Wils
Harm's lead the Purple courtnien into
II lion tonight in the season's ojiener at
Mkldleljury when they attempt to twist
I 111- Panther's tail for (he sixth straight
liison. Tomorrow the quintet winds up
iiN Green Mountain tour by invading the
[ 1 niversity of Vermont at Burlington.
Itowned 47-31 by M. I. T. in their
liiiilial tilt last week, the Panthers should
iKit be considered too lightl>', for they have
I he advantage of playing on their own
n.irrow floor. Coach Ben Beck will open
I with veterans Bill Ouiniette and Bob
Adsit at the guards. Ouiniette will bo
rrnienibered for his four long, looping
I baskets against the Purple last year.
I Bishop, Laphani, and Wright will also be
ill (here at the opening whistle.
High Scoring Krauszer Gone
Nick Krau.szer, last season's captain
.iiid center, will be missing from the Blue
line-up for the first time in three years.
I In three engagements against the Eplis he
iinassed a total of thirty-two points.
Coach Dale Burnett will start the same
line velerans who have been drilling to-
lt:e(lier for three weeks. Wils Barnes will
I line up at one of the forwards, hut on the
nlTense he will take over the pivot slot.
|.\ year ago the co-captain tallied fifteen
Ipciinls in the 44-32 defeat of the Panthers.
ToUes, Harter at Forwards
Ko>' 'I'olles and Jack Harter are slated
liii ix'rforni at the forward posts, although
Tl'olks will probably jump at the opening
liip-ofT. Harter, high scorer in several
iKanies last year, has been having difTiculU'
linding his eye in practice, yuinlana and
|ltnb Wallace round out the (|uintet as
guardians of the back court.
The offensive push of the team has been
i.ipidly rounding into form, although
hi'iiight will be the first real test. Deten-
j-ively the five has at times looked very
fagged, but according to Barnes this is
Inostly because they have been loafing in
|)iartice.
Reserve Strength Lacking
back of experienced reserve strength
ill seriously handicap the hoopsters, for
liiirnett cannot hope to rely solely on his
llarters during the entire tilt. None of
llie substitutes making the trip have ever
in act ion in a varsity encounter. .Stand-
I'uls in this group are .sophomores Don
•iiulsay, John Bridgewater, Monk Stanley
hiid Dick King. With an eye to the
[ill lire, Burnett will probably use them
lieely in relief roles.
Coach Fuzzy Evans of the Catamounts
Ivill probably lead off with Captain Red
^Miite and veteran Paul Pullinen at
f!iiards. Dick Kipp, in his first season of
arsity play, will hold down the center
lierth, while Bob Dohcrty and Mih
lufnian, both letter winners, will start
ai forwards. Sadly lacking in height, this
liuintet has built its offense around a fast
I'leaking attack.

Suffering the greatest loss was Kichard

i'psilon House were estimated at $7.
Hoih robberies were duly reported to

and facilities were expanded. They gave
their brain-child a name, the "Williams
War News Service," but changed it to the
"College War Bulletin" because "it was
too long and didn't s lund right."
On Tuesday the group applied to John

German Expatriate ;Say8
Democracies Will Win
by Increasing Morale
At a time when the realities of Japanese
aggression arc pressing on the American
mind, K. WilhclinSollniann,formermembcr
of the German Reichstag and a champion
of tiemocracy for over twenty years,
attempted last Tuesday to re-focus atten-
tion on the "fight between Berlin and
Washington."
Speaking before approximately 200
persons in Jesiip Hall, Mr. .Sollmann rc-
viewx'd the causes for German successes,
outlined a program of action for the United
States, and predicted eventual defeat for
Berlin and Tokio. Echoing the sentiments
of Louis Fischer, who spoke in Williams-
town a month ago, the (^"lerman expatriate
predicted that "the twentieth century will
be an American century," and placed the
responsibility for the defeat of the .'Kxis
powers squarely on the United States.
Germany, he said, is the only country
which has clearly defined its goal, and
demonstrated its ability to achieve that
goal. If the democracies are to rid the
world of the tyranny of Nazism they must
offer the subject peoples of Europe some-
thing more than the defeat of Hitler.

Only Williams Student at Declaration
Of War Gives Eye -Witness Account
Jiy CUBiiiE L. Brewer '44_
Within the space of twelve hours on December 8, 1941, I traveled from the
Williams Record office to the lobby of the House of Representatives building in
Washington, D. C. *
The transformation almost overwhelm-
ed me, for no sooner had 1 flashed my
special pass in the face of the fifth capitol
policeman who had accosted nie at the
door of the House of Representatives
building than 1 found myself face to face
with General George C. Marshall, Admiral
Stark, and Secretary of War Stimson.
Oct Ticket From Rep. Gamble
Three hours before I gapi^d at this dis-
tinguished assemblage, I was one of ten
frenzied Williams men in search of a
Congressman who woukl give away his one
ticket of admittance to the joint session of
the House of Representatives and the
Senate. I obtained my pass from Repre-
sentative Ralph Gamble of the twenty-
third election district in New York. Mr.
Gamble arrived fronj New York at eleven
o'clock that morning to find Butler
Whiting '44 and myself waiting patiently
in his oflice. Another gentleman, a voter
from the same district, was also there to
procure Gamble's pass. Displaying wis-
dom worthy of Solomon, the Represent-
ative declared that the only fair way to
decide which of us could have the pass was
to flip coins, the odd man receiving the
treasured piece of pasteboard. I won.
No Signs of Hysteria
In the lobby there was no sign of
hysteria or even of undue excitement.
The crowd, and the government officials
too, appeared rather relaxed, as if a great
load had been taken off their minds.
They were, of course, fully aware of the
fact that the United .States was engaged in
a struggle with an adversary grossly under-
estimated — in military strength and
treachery.
Secret Service on Guard
Secret Service men, and special police
were literally "a dime a dozen". I hiid
shown my pass to several police before I
could enter the building but even after
I entered the door I was under observation
at all times.
President Roosavslt Arrives
The greatest moment of the perfor-
mance came not when the President had
delivered his address to Congress, but
when Mr. Roosevelt entered the chamber
to speak.

Baxter, Newhall
Messages on War
In II jiimmeit Tlwmpsiiii Memorial
Chapel last Monday noon, Willuims under-
graduotes heard Acting President Richard
A. Neu'liult read a message to the college
from President James I'. Baxter, 3rd. Dr.
Newhall then addressed the capacity
audience, reminditig undergraduates of
Williams' war tradition and urging the
college "to exhibit the fury of patient
men." Excerpts from Dr. Baxter's and Mr.
Newhall's messages, delivered one hour
before the Congress declared war on Japan,
follow.
President Baxter's message tele-
phoned from Weuhington: With the
same ruthless treachery she showed to
China in 1894, and to Russia in 1904,
Japan has struck for the third time by a
surprise attack before a declaration
of war. Her unprovoked aggression has
united the entire American people regard-
less of party. Williams men will respond
with the same courage and sense of re-
sponsibility shown in previous wars. There
will be plenty of opportunity to serve with
the colors at the appropriate time.
Acting President Newhall's ntessage :
Our country is at war We are at war
because our government has refused to
condone further aggression upon peoples
who are defending their homes, or upon
peoples who are now at peace. We are at
war because our government has refused
to acquiesce in continued practices of
international bad faith. We are at war
because we condemned wanton and un-
provoked attack by the Japanese upon
their neighbors. We are at war because
we ourselves have now, at last, been sub-
jected to wanton and unprovoked attack _
Let us remind ourselves that we are all
Americans, fellow citizens of a great
republic, common heirs of a great traditi(m.
That tradition is not one of niilitaiy
aggression, but it is none the less heroic-
\Ve need only turn our eyes to the list of
names which appears on the walls of this
chapel. It is of no consequence that (lie

Wood Heads Group
On Cost Reduction
Committee to Propose
Lowering Living Scale
as Result of Full War
Acting President Richard A. Newhall
has appointed a live-man committee to
make recommendations to campus social
organizations, leading to a program of
curtailment of the Williams standard of
living in the interest of the war effort.
Mr. Newhall appointed the committee
with the approval of house presidents and
treasurers, who met with him and other
college officials on Tuesilay afternoon.
Thomas J. Wood, Director of Ad-
missions, is chairman of the coniniittee
which includes the following under-
graduate members: William J. Fuchs,
Herbert S. Gay, Jr., Paul Murray, Jr., and
David K. Peet, Jr. '42. The coiiimiltee
is now receiving suggestions for curtail-
ment from all house officers, and yesterday
asked each house steward to submit
sample menus for study.
SmitK Makes Suggestion
Although one purpose of the meeting
on Tuesday was to solicit undergraduate
cooperation in reducing the cost of edu-
cation at Williams, a suggestion made by
Professor Walter B. Smith indicated to the
fraternity officials a way in which they
might use reduced costs to cooperate in the
maximum prosecution of the war. Mr.
Smith pointed out that reduced standards
of living are necessary for a successful war
effort, and that Williams men could
accomplish two important ends by cur-
tailing their scale of living:
1 ) They will free for war work men and
materials that would otherwise be con-
sumed in producing consumer goods.
2) They will finance war production by
turning their savings into defense bonds.
Mr. Smith also pointed out that the
bonds would grow in value and return to
the fraternities after the war.

by S.v.M Hi'NTKii '44
•"Don't act precipitantly or hystericalls :
give yourself the opportunity to take
necessary and sober second thought."
This was the advice Acting Presideni
Richard .\. Newhall and three faculty
nieinhers offered the We<lne.s<lay e\enin^
college assembly in iiiiswer to studeni
anxiety over the problem of how Williams
undergraduates may best serve the nation
in its war against the ,\xis. Professor
James li. Pratt, Dean Halfdan Citegersen.
and Professor Max Leriier participate*! in
the panel discussion befon; an o\erflowing
and spirited Jesup Hall audience.
'Delay at Least Till Semester End'
In his talk Accing President Newhall
urged students to delay any action the\
might be disposed to take "at least until
the end of the semester". Such a post-
ponement of decision, he suggested, would
allow each undergraduate the opjiortunity
to consult his parents and would provide
a "normal stopping place in ac.idemir
work".
.Striking a comparison between war
conditions in 1917 and in 1941, President
Newhall decl.ired that there was no
immediate iieL-essity for college students
to enlist in the American armed forces.
President Newhall further called attention
to Selective Ser\ ice Act Director General
Hcrshey's stalement that there ciirrenth
exists no prolilem of manpower in the
armed forces because of etiiiipment
deficiencies.
Gregersen Delivers Address
With President Newhall, Dean Greger
sen counseled undergraduates to delay
precipitate action and urged an "elimina-
tion of all romanticism from our atti-
tudes". He warned that students who
fell victim to war hysteria and im|K tuou,sly

Government Stops
All Student Flying
Activity Suspended, Club
Tries to Prepare Men
Kollowing orders from the h'ederal
Government, Acting President Richard A.
Newhall informed members of the Wil-
liams Plying Club by mail Wednesday that
all private licensed pilots and student
flyers have been grounded until they ful-
fill certain rigid retiuirements. Upon re-
ceiving this order John T. Tiittle '42,
president of the flying club, announced
that his organization has already taken
steps towards preparing 'Williams pilots
lor the Army and Naval Air Corps.
A precaution to keep saboteurs on the
ground, the government decree requires
that pilots submit their fingerprints,
signatures, portraits, birth certificates,
and prove their loyalty thr<iugli written
statements from reliable individuals before
flying permission will lie reinstated.
.Stmlenls wishing to get this permission
before January, when the first inspector
will appear in Williamstown, must go to
the Albany .Mrport.
.Since flying with an instructor whose
permission has been reinstated is legal,
and because most club members will re-
ceive their permissions nex( month.
President Tiittle has undertaken a plan to
prepare pilots for the air corps. .Mready
five club members are seriously considering
joining that branch of the service. Last
year's club secretary, Carl W. Victor '4.^.
is training for an officer's commission in the
Naval Air Corps at present.
Because both the Army and Navy
refuse to recognize training in light ships
such as those used by Williams pilots, the
flying club is attempting to purchase a
heavier plane. Acrobatics and cross-
country instruction in such a craft would
prepare Williams men so that they could
almost "step right into an army plane,"
Tuttle said.

Winning The War At Williams
The very ival sfii.so that wo in eollcf^e liave of wantitig to lie used
ill this war: the .seii.sc lliat reiiiaiiiiiig at Williams give.s u.s of being un-
uscil — the.se, as Mr, I.erner .said on Wednesday night, con.stitute our
most serious iier.soiia! |)rolileiii today.
It is, iionellu'les.s, this very feeling that will win this war, because it
is a feeling thai eaniiot lie with us for long. The needs and the oppor-
tunities and the ways of winning this war lead in too many directions
for IIS to make the mistaken assumption that the only outlet for a desire
to he ii.sed is mililary.
We can help win the war right here at Williams. With a real feel-
ing of I he [irivileges that are ours, we should adopt immediately a l)rf)ad
program of .savings in our fraternities and in our jjer.sonal living.
We should a(lo])t in our social units a l)roa<l program of sla.slies in all
expenditures, wilh the express |)iirpo.se of making tho.se saving.s available
lo the governnient of the United States in the form of defense bonds.
In our personal living, we nuist adopt a .standard of living .so much lower
than that which we have known that large sums of money will be freed
for the in'odiictioii of the materials that will win the war.
A coiinniltee headed l)y Mr. Wood is already drawing up a list of
recommendations to the .social organizations, which will enable them to
institute large .savings iinniediately. In order to meet tyranny with
everything we've got, thi'se 'savings .should be turned into government
l)onds. The fraleniities should use the.se savings to buy bonds in the
names of their hoiuscs, savings which will return to the fraternities wilh
interest after I he war is over.
There will be tho.se who will argue that Ihe savings, in.stead of being
liiriied into lionds, should lie reliirned to the families of undergraduates
in the form of reduced bills. This is a natural suggestion, but it is not the
kind of suggestion that will carry the prosecution of the war to final
victory. Vor in dividing the pro.spective savings of one fraternity into
over forty i)ar(s, it i.s cerlain thai Ihe small saving each month for each
parent would not conic to an amount large enough to be considered i>y
them in terms of bonds — in term.s of the financing of Ihe war efforl.
Nor would this amount lie large enough to make any vital difference to
them in the administration of their own finances. For these two reasons
there can be neither doubt nor hesitation about where our responsihility
lies; it lies wherever the nation can be helped most. In this ca.se, it lies
((uite clearly with a plan of bond |)urchases.
Even before we join the armed forces, we as colle.ge undergraduates
can help win this war. IJy keeping our .social organization bills whei-e
I hey are, but by ciirlailing all of our expenditures, we can finance the
building of planes and tanks — without undue hardship on our parents
who will pay those bills, nor on ourselves who will experience the con.se-
(juences of .sell'-enl'orced curtailments. And every one of tho.se curtail-
ments and Ihe bonds we liiiy will .serve as witnes.ses to the fact that we are
l)eing ii.sed.

The short and forceful .speech that
followed was almost a let<lown, for al the
very moment <if ihe arrival of Mr. Roose-
vell the sentiment of all concerned was
alreaih' established. His departure
brought an even more vocifenms approval
and it was interesting to observe that all
the whistling and shouting was done on
the floor of the House. I believe (hat the
gallery was more tense and reserved than
the Congressmen were.
Isolationists Look Dejected
Uefore and during the speech I watched
the foremost of the isolationisis as they
came and went frinii the floor. Wilhout
exceplicm they looked like men who had

for a way to recoup their liiss<'s. \'andeii-

Il was nol pleasant lo witness much of

actions of Miss Jeanelte Rankin, Repre-
senlalive from Montana, were more
amusing than annoying, but it was the
whining of I lam Fish, Ihe .sage of Dutchess

I').?7, Inlernational Politics: "The dan-
ger of war for the United States lay less
in prospects of involvement in a European

Japan. The Japanese-C.erman-ltalian en-

Ukraine. The Fascist allies will defeat
France, conquer the continent and push

Hvmki. '42 Sees Olga Averino Recital as Rare
Opportunity in World Distorted by War
by Wauukn G. Hunkk '42
Among the larly effects of Ci)n(»ress'
(li'clariition of war was the mediocre
lurnout for Mine. Olj^a Averino's recital
in the Adams IVlemorial Tliealre last
Monday evening. In the light of news
broadcasts and bulletins the small attend-
ance was certainly justified.
Yet from now until the war is over there
will be occasions when we can take time
out from radio reports and catch up on
what remains of world culture. Too bad
I hat Monday evening could not have been
such an occasion for Mme. Averino pro-
vided a delightful program. She chose it
wisely, nearU' every number beim; a uem

as well as a contrast to the songs which
preceded and followed it. Most important
factor of all, of course, was her geimine
skill as a singer. She has a beautiful
voice, a superb sense of pilch, anil a mark-
ed ability to give life to the text.
In the Schubert group Mme. Averino
was indefinite at first, but finally her
l(mi' improved. The last two s<jngs in
the group, Lied der Migiion and Woliin?
were extremel\' well executed, her pitch
in the lalter's figuration being remarkable.
After the .Schubert portion, there were four
songs of Mozart in which Mjne. Averino's
flare for expression was best evidenced in
Dans nil liois Sotilaire and ihe Tremmiif,-
.slied. The choice of numbers in this
group made Mozart and .Schubert sound
very much alike, differences being chiefly
in the nature of the accompaniment.
In the Faureand Debussy section Mme.
Averino displayed a keen techniciue that
was nowhere matched througlicjut the
recital. I refer to her tonal modulation
and her reading of musical lines. Especial-
ly in the l)ebii.ss\- Chevdux de Biiis, she
sang beautifully as she went through
nunu-rous ke\' changes along with the

hour-b\'-hour bulU-lins on the dt)or of
their 19 Williams Hall ofilice, pushing
differenl colored pins around on maps to

It is right and pro|)i'r at this time to
remind ourselves of the moral weight of

They gave me my conviction in the
possibilities of democracy because they
demonstrated the qualities and capacities
of ordinary men to mjet the diMiuinds of

which we cherish that it makes the ordi-

of treating him as a mere item of nnlitary
exp.'ndilure. Oar country is calling now
upon all its men, upon you and upon me,
each to <lo his p.trt, whatever I hat part

agri'i'iiienl upon the necessity of facing a

that we are right. I do not need to urge

Sollmann believes a unified Europe is

German youth, according to Scllniann,

"they are unimp.esscd by democratic

power f.)r the nation's defenses, Professor
I'ratt called for a consideration of action
in terms of "its lasting contril)iition to
society". He emphasized the individual
nature of the |)r<ilileni which each under-
graduate nmst resolve for himself in de-
ciding how he may serve the nation most
elTectively.
In an impassioned ;lefense of e<lucation
in the current war-time emergency. Pro-
fessor iVla.\ Lerner urged every student
whose services had not yet been required
in the nation's defense to have patience,
and to seek in the meantime an "under-
standing of the forces loose in the world
today". "With this understanding," he
affirmed, "you will tiear your weapons
with greater strength and effectiveness."
Admitting that he too has experienced
"the terrible sense of being unused" which
has characterized the new generation,
Professor Lerner confided that he felt his
"real duty " lay in teaching. He defined
"citizenship" as the purpose of education,
and "education", he added, "must teach
us to understand, to believe, and to act."

intricate accompaniment. It was her
gooil fortune to have at the piano a gentle-
man who is just as excellent an accom-
panist as he is a soloist: Joaquin Nin-
Culmell.
Mme. .'Kverino's abilit\' for dramatic
interpretation came to the foreground in
the Mussorgsky selection.-^. She conveyed
sorrow and frustration in the /./1//11/0' and
tremendous force in Deiilli—The Com-
mander. Then as another contrast .she
concludeil the program with the Ilopiik, a
mischievous melotly which when sung in
Russian could mean anything or nothing
to nie. Hopak was lively, amusing, and
even naughty. Perhaps 1 read too much
into her wink of the eye, but nevertheless
she did wink!
All in all, it was a notable recital. Those
of us who shy away from soprano recitals
and conseciili'nth- steered clear of Olga
Averino last Monday may consider them-
selves deprived of something good. I'll''
audience at the Averino recital liki^d it a
great <Ual, applauding for two encores and
getting them. It isn't likely that the order
of events at any army camp or an>' battle-
ship will ever include recitals of the worUl's
finest music so now is the time to hear it.

Superior team play gave the Kphs the
ilge over Middlehury. Finding ihe Pan-

lliiir set plays, the quintet set up nuni-
ims .scores for Jack Harter and Humhy
tluintana. Harter at last found his eye
ind rang up fifteen markers to becoini' the
anie's high point man. The diminutive
oca|)lain's dribbling ability gave him
iviral .scoring opportunities which he
iMiverled into eleven tallies.
Thi' Eph's man-to-man defense kept the
anther attack well throttled. The play

anthropological historv' of Man with his

Princeton Juniors
Speed Graduation
Commencement in Dec.
Sought by Abolition
of Summer Vacation
Shifting President Roosevelt's appeal
for a "24-hour da\ , seven days a week"
from an industrial to an academic inter-
pretation, the ofifici'is of the Junior Class
of Princeton University met last Friday
to petition the president of the university
and members of the adniinistralion to
"formulate a plan of study" by which
those members of the class who so desire
may be gra<luated in December 1942.
The petition states that the under-
graduates affected would be willing to
cimtinue their studies through the summer
with two brief vacation periods, and sug-
gests that I he Reading Periods be abolish-
ed and a fifth ctmrse substituted. The
purposes of the plan are twofold; first, the
officers of the class declared thai its
adoption will permit many candidates for
Bachelor of Arts degree to complete their
liberal education and, second, that it
would release college graduates so they
might volunteer for those posts in the
armed forces which are available only to
men with college educations.
Offering whole-hearted support of the
plan, the editors of The Daily Prince-
Ionian declared that its atlvantages laj' in
the fact that Princeton would "be able lo
get a large percentage of its undergrad-
uates through the diploma-receiving stage
before they turn 21," and it would assist
in the development of "men who can
utilize the fruits of victory and erect scmie
sort of political framework which will
pi-eserve Western civilization and prevent
the appearance of new Hitlers in the

Flying Club's Field
SAC Grants Fliers $300
to Defray Expenses,
Make Improvements
.As part of a move to establish emer-
gency air|Kjrts throughout the country,
go\'eriinient inspectors surveyed the Wil-
liams FKing Club's airport at South
Williamstown Thursday. On the same
day the Student .'\ctivities Council granted
$300 to the flying club for improvement of
the field and p.iyment of othei expenses.
Gov't Officials Inspect Field
The inspectors made no statement as to
whether or not the .South Williamstown
field would get any of the huge funds
allocated by Congress last week for the
improvement of private fields for emer-
gency use. If Friday's survey shows that
the airport has possibilities of enlargement
and is located in a strategic position,
macadam runways will probably be put in
and perhaps two or three army planes
will be stationed there.
John T. Tuttle '42, jiresideiit of the
Flying Club, said that to the best of his
knowledge his group would be allowed to
continue using the field after improve-
ments had been made through go\ernment
funds.
Because the Flying Club is playing a
part in preparing Williams men for the air
corps, and because it needs funds lo defray
expenses, the S. A. C. gave it the $.?00
last week.
Money Helps Pay Instructors
The money will be used to help in paying
instructors' fees and will defray the cost of
constructing a hangar and improving the
runways. The latter move is being made
with the view of actiiiirlnt; a Inri^er shi]) in
which students might prepare for the
Army and Naval AW Corps. At present
these branches of the armed forces do not
recognize training in the light craft used
by the club.
Loan May Be Permanent
One half of the money given to the
Flying Club is on a <piasi-loan basis. If
that organization is able to obtain SI 50
or more from the Trustees $150 will have
to bo paid back to the S. A. C. If it is

To Speak Tuesday
Captain Fogg's Visit Will
Precede Campus Drive
for Aviation Cadets
Captain Robert S. Fogg of the New
England Army .Xviation Cadet Board will
herald an ap|)roaching drive on this
campus for stu<lent .Mr Corps enlistments
with a lecture and a movie, "Wings of
Steel", tomorrow evening at S;00 in Jesup
Hall. Shortly after the Christmas recess
an .\vialion Ciilet E.\amining Board will
visit Williams for the purpose of inter-
viewing and examining pros|)ecti\e canili-
dates for the Air Service.
Captain Fogg is a pioneer in New
FIngland aviation. Following the World
War, in which he served as a flying in-
structor, he became one of the original
barnstormers. In 1920 he formed his own
company and established one of New
lingland's finest airports and flying schools
at Concord, New 1 lampshire. Captain
Fogg set a New Fngland record for contin-
uous flying during the Wrmont flood
when he delivered mail and supjilies for
the Post Olfice Department.
Obtained News of Lost German Fliers
Fogg's greatest achievements, which
gained him national prominence, were his
flights to Greenly Island, Labrador, where
he secured the fust news and pictures of
the (jcrman fliers who had come to grief
on the ice floes in the first westward trans-
Atlantic flight. He has been granted a
one-year's leave of absence as Chief of the
Seaplane Unit of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration in order to 8er\c on the
Army Aviation Cadet Board.

We're In The Army Now
If anyoiu' is interested in losing the war there are a couple of good
way.s we know of. One is to allow the growth of a notion lot.s of us have
about eating, drinking, and doing what we please because we'll be in the
army soon. We could make no more fatal mistake than to assume that
it takes only arms Lo be in the army of a modern nation at w^ar. We will
never win if Americans at home think that Americans are dying all over
the world for "business a.s usual." There are no limits to the American
ai-my today. We arc in the army now.
Nazi Germany has been able to strike terror into the heart of the
worUl and to build the greatest army the world has known — but not be-
cause its manhood hasn't done its part. Today it is our job to tear down
the whole fabric of government and thought that have constituted the
strength of modern Gern:any. Don't be fooled into believing that we
can win without drawing our national strength, just as modern Germany,
from the full strength of every man.
The virtue of the jiroposal, now under discussion, to undertake broad
savings at William.s in order to buy defense bonds does not lie in the fact
that it is pleasant to eat cheaper food. The virtue does not lie in the fact
that house parties will be just as much fun without the same wine and
.song. The virtue — and the necessity — • lies in the knowledge that to-
gether all our sacrifices constitute a privilege that alone is ours. They
constitute the privilege of contributing toward the prosecution of a war
we know to be essential to a decent way of life.
That most of us will undertake personal savings there is little doubt.
And we have no hesitation about saying that most W^illianis fraternities
will soon be contributing towards some kind of bond-purchasing |)lan.
We have no doubts, because we saw the grinmess and the eagerness to do
something in the faces of most of the college in chapel last Monday.
We saw enthusiasm and spirit in the college meeting on Wednesday night.
We see it in the large number of volunteers for air raid service, and in the
.seriousness with which all of us are looking toward a branch of the service
in which we can serve best.
What vve want and will do tomorrow, however, hardly excuses doing
nothing today. Colin Kelly, who sank one Japanese battleship, and who
died in his try for another knew one thing above all — that Americans
can stop at nothing to win this war. We at college cannot wait to fight
until there arc guns in our hands. With a hundred and thirty million
Americans, we are in the army now. We nuist begin to fight now.

efforts took the form of poetry, published
under the name of Anne Singleton.
She married the late Dr. Stanley Bene-
dict, a professor of biochemistry at Colum-
bia, and anxious lo pursue further her
studies In the lield of Anthropology, she
enrolled at Columbia under Frank Boas,
"the grand old man of anthropology."
In 1923 Dr. Benedict received her Ph. D.
degree from Columbia where she was
retained as a professor for many years.
Between 1936 and 1939 she was acting
head of the Department of Anthropology.
While a student at Vassar, and later at
Columbia, Dr. Benedict became interested
in social work. Since then she has become
convinco<l of the fundamental relationship
between the sciences of anthropology,
sociology, and psychology, and has incor-
porated this idea in many of her books.
It has formed the central thesis of Pattern
of Cultures and Race: Science and Politics.
AmericanDemocraticSystam Supreme
From her intensive studies in these
fields fJr. Benedict insists on the inherent
superiority of the American democratic
system. Specifically, she writes that "all
the arguments are on the side of the
Founding Fathers, who urged no dis-
crimination on the basis of race, creed, or
color."
In spite of her manifold activities as a
teacher, lecturer, and authoress, fJr.
Benedict has found time to do extensive
field work. Her students have taken trips
to New Guinea, Samoa, Fiji, Africa, and
South America.
Dr. Benedict herself has done particular-
1\- significant work in the stud\- of the
history of the American Indian tribes, and
has placed a great deal of emphasis on
primitive religion, mythology, folklore,
and social and political conventions.
BILL OF RIGHTS
(Continued from page I)
bration falls at a time when the ver\-
existence and future of the Bill of Rights
are in great peril." Professor Lerner stated
in a recent Rkcoud interview. "It will
lend to make people conscious of the Bill
of Rights' great importance to them."
He added that the document is the "most
important among the liberties we are
lighting for today."
The celebration will clearly demonstrate
to the country just what it is lighting for,
as various well-known figures in public
life today relate the meaning of the Bill of
Rights in their estimation. The original
program had the President and the Chief
Justice of tlie Supreme Court schedui d as
climaxing speakers but, due to the present
war state, it was hard to determine at
press time whether the Chief Justice would
give a public address.
AIR CORPS
(Continued from page 1)
Board are part of a nation-wide drive for
undergraduate enlistments. According to
the latest Washington reports, the Air
Corps has set its goal at 20,000 new cadets
per month. Candidates for appointment
lis Aviation Cadets must be unmarried
male citizens between the ages of twenty
and twenty-seven. A college education
is no longer a requirement, but those with
two or more years of college are exempt
from the educational examination.
Aviation Cadets leceive $75 per month
plus a ration allowance of $1 per day while
undergoing t'lcir seven months' trainin,{
perioii. At the end of the training period,
they are commissioned as -Second Lieuten-
ants with salaries as high as $245.50 per
month and a $500 cash bonus for each
vcar of service.
Art of Theatre Offers
Second Shepherd's Play
Luttrell '44, Moore '43
to Play Leading Roles
fhe Williams College Art of the Pheatre
Course will present its third annual
Christmas production, The Second Shep-
herd's Play, on Wednesday, December
17th, at 5:00 p. m. in the Adams Mem-
orial Theatre. Described as "a modern
interpretation of the medieval farce which
combines light humor with the story of the
Nativity," the play represents the semester
efforts of the Theatre course. Every
student in the course holds some func-
tional part in the production.
The Art of the Theatre Course is de-
signed to utilize all opportunities offered
by the new AMT, and this play represents
one of the more practical uses. In the two
previous "Christmas productions" effec-
tive staging was hampered by the lack of
facilities in the Chapel. Now, however,
with the newly completed AMI" available,
the students are staging an effort to make
this play of the caliber of those presented
by Cap and Bells, Inc.
Directed by Max Flowers, and under
the supervision of James Michael, the pla\'
has Robert R. Luttrell '44 cast in the
leading role of Mak, the sheep stealer,
while the part of Gil, Mak's wife, is taken
by Charles W. Moore '43. Bruce F.
Brown '43, Spencer Dickerson '42, and
John Spencer '44 portray the three shep-
herds. Allen Maulsby '44 the Angel,
Peggy Hall, as the Virgin Mary, anil
flobert Crane '43, in the role of Joseph,
complete the cast.
Admission to the performance will be
free.
Williams Played Host
To Jap Naval Observer
Lieutenant-C Oim m a n d e r
Studied Here in 1936
About the only navigable waterway in
the vicinity of Wiiliamstown is the
Hoosac River — and at best that feeble
stream can only provide safe passage for
an outboard motor boat. This hard fact
therefore rasts a cloak of suspicion over
the four-months mystery visit to Williams
College in 1936 of a high ranking Japanese
naval officer.
On December 7, 1941 the Japanese fleet
attacked the American navy, at the special
request of the Japanese embassy in the
fall of 1936 Lieutcnant-Conunander I.
Ohtani of the Imperial Japanese Navy was
the guest of Williams College, sitting in
on courses in Political .Science, American
History, and English.
A Record investigation has thrown
little light on Mr. Ohtani's Wiiliamstown
activities — although authoritative sources
have revealed that the mystery \-isitor
was in the habit of taking long walks.
Members of the administration have sug-
gested that the whole affair was "rather
curious," but declined to offer any
additional information.
In his farewell ad.lress to Williams at the
Garfield Club on December 18, 1936
Lieutenant-Commander Ohtani explained
that the call of duty made his departure
necessary. Issuing a plea for peaceful
Japanese-.-Xmerican relations, he urged
Williams students and all other Americans
"to understand Japan in her true light."
Mr. Ohtani declared that he would make
an effort to introduce "true America" to
his people at home. In conclusion the
naval observir from the land of the rising
sun "welcomed" students to visit Japan
and offered his services as "guide" in
return for Williams hospitality.
SPOTTERS
(Continued from page 1)
night watchman, who called to reassure
the watchers that the trucks going through
town were snowplows not army trucks,
have provided a few chuckles for the
spotters.
Albert T. Walkley and Robert E.
Hughes '42, were the first two volunteers
to spend the night on duty, and both men
have stated that they would like to do it
again. Walkley pointed out that it was
harder getting to sleep than staying awake.
During one of his watches, he was called by
the North Adams office and asked to trace
two trucks headed towards Wiiliamstown
and filled with armed men. After un-
succcssfull>- attempting to locate them, he
called North Adams to report his failure
and was duly informed that it was only a
theoretical problem that they had given
him.
Acting.President Richard A. Ncwhall's
request for volunteers to do the above
work was enthusiastically responded to
last week by over one hundred men.

French Play: *Very Funny' --Faison; Language
Handicap Stymies Review of Spanish Work
by Samuei, I,. Fawon
Assoiiate Professor of Fine Arts
It wasn't quite clear who was funnier,
Moliere or Le Theatre Intime, but it was a
\'ery funny performance in the Adams
Memorial Theatre Sunday night. To
begin with, the program had George
Rudnick's name ahead of the production
staff, the Williams Co-op as prelude to
Les Precieuses Ridicules; and the announce-
ment of an intermission of ten minutes
introducing GYM LUNCH. When the
curtain rose there were surprising revela-
tions. Henry Shapiro's Gorgibus was
something escaped from the Biology Lab
showing signs of an encounter with a
pigeon. Elliot Grant arrived in a sedan
chair. In a gangrenous costume bordered
with magenta, he engaged his porters in
what must be the first taxi-cab argument
in French history. Robert H. Allen, his
colleague in foppery, plunged a lean visage
into the white grease-paint and came out
looking like Marlene Dietrich. At the
end, this androgynous apparition was
subjected to an involuntary strip-tease.
The audience was not unresponsive.
Those proceedings were based on
Moliere. There was some good acting by
Lawrence Slade, who in his brief moment
projected a Parisian verve and style for
which this genial company is not alto-
l^'fthcr celebrated. Under a mountain-
ous l)rown wig the countenance of Elliot
(rrant wore an air of cherubic lechery
matched only by His vocal inflection. The
ladies, unfortunately, were nearly in-
audible; the coy pantomine of Miss Kemp-
er traversed the footlights better than
Miss Redmond's somewhat archaic gest-
ures. Mr. Grant, however, had en-
thusiasm to spare and kept the pace
moving. The director, Bushrod Howard,
Jr., deserves full credit for the over-
whelming success of a new interpretation
of Moliere. Someone ought to tell
Laurel and Hardy.
During the second play, Rosina es
Fragil, by Martinez Sierra, this reviewer
was at something of a disadvantage: it
was no fault of the cast that he under-
stood not a word. He can report, how-
ever, that the diction was clearer than in
the French play, and that Spanish as
spoken by Claudio Guillen is beautiful
to the ear. Esther Barrow and Bushrod
Howard gave good performances. The
latter should be advised that hands can
be very expressive and don't need to dive
into pants' pockets after every speech.
Larry Slade knows all about this.

Lafayette Friday
Loss of Klopman Heavy
Blow; Bullock Schedules
Tryouts for Tuesday
With the opening meet of the season
against Lafayette, less than a week off.
Uncle Ed Bullock's wrestling team has
sustained its first serious mishap in the
permanent loss of veteran Bill Klopman
through a recurrence of an old shoulder
injury.
Klopman, undefeated last season, was
counted on to be a consistent winner in the
165 pound class, and his presence will be
sorelj- missed. Sophomore Herb Bell,
who wrestled on the 1944 team last year,
is expected to take his place.
I'irst tryouts of the season will be held
this week, probably tomorrow, and Coach
Bullock has arranged f(jr some practice
matches with North Adams YMCA
wrestlers for Wednesday night.
Richmond Leads Team
Outstanding candidates for starting
positions on Friday in the lower weight
classes include Captain Art Richmond,
Bill Inibrie, and Bob Brown. The first
will have to fight Johnny Jacobs, a regular
last year, for his positi(m in the 128-pound
class, while Brown's chief opposition at
135 will come from Bob McKee, rugged
sophomore who had only limited ex-
perience last year. Imbrie, as sole
candidate, has had no competition in the
121-pound class.
Probable choices at 145 and 155 pounds
arc senior Bob Derge and sophomore
Shep Poor respectively. Bell will prob-
ably take care of the 165-pound post, with
possible opposition from Ed Mulcah\-.
Rob Jones and Bob Blakney are almost
certain choices at 175 pounds and hcav\-
weight.
According to Bullock, chances for a
successful season are reasonabh' good,
providing no more injuries put key men on
the shelf with Klopman.

Social Units to Purchase Bonds
At present campus social groups are
attempting to find suitable plans for the
purchase of bonds. Already some houses
have decided to purchase them in the
name of the house through contributions
to a specific fund. Other groups have
decided to cut down on desserts with the
savings going iiUii a bond fund. .\ few
fraternities have left the purchase of bonds
entirely up to the individual.
As yet, most plans are still in the em-
bryimic stage. A student committee
headed by Director of Admissions Thomas
J. Wood will incorporate all the plans of
reducing costs as suggested by the frater-
nities and the Garfield Club and submit il
to all groups for a possible plan of action.
Postmistress Mary Dempsey announced
yesterday that orders can now be placed
with mail carriers for the purchase of
bonds. Savings stamps and bonds are
also on sale at the post office, the Williams-
town National Bank, the Boston and
Maine railroad station, and at the A&P
store in Williamstown.

'Acquits Itself Well In a World at War,
Declares Root in Review of January 'Sketch*
hy WiNTiiuoi' 11. KouT
Assisluiil rruftssur nfCcrman
Ik'fori' my copy of Sketch came, I
'woiulcTt'd how a magazine conceiveil be-
fore the War would appear to u reader at
the end of the first week of the War.
Would it seem a glimpse into a remotely
remembered age? .Sketch actpiits itself
ivell. The editorial atVirniation of the
need for a continued emphasis on the
cultural aspects of democracy is timely and
sound. Fight we must and shall, but we
are fighting for the deniocr.itic way of
life in which literature and art are integral
factors. It is eas>' to agree with the editor
that we can also serve by cultivating the
values which make our way of life more
creati\'e than the Nazi way. The articles
are all timely, though William Henderson's
"What about Kralernities?" sulTeis from
our suildeii shift o( interest to wider
problems. The morale in our local sphere,
however, semis ripples out into the great
world, anil it is well to |)onder on oiu' own
weaknesses or strength. Felix Smith's
"Union Now: Decline and Fall" is a
thorough and capable study, done with
insight and objectivity. It is good read-
ing and sound criticism To be fair to
the local chapter of Union Now, one might
suggest that its aim was destined to be
achieved by thermite and H. E. bombs,
not by local chapters. Howard Sheble
hates militarism more than he does
dernians. His two types do not do justice
to the complexity of the problem. 1 was
in Germany in 1937 ami saw the militar-
ism, and stupidity too, but also among
sfnsitive and intelligent men feai
and hatred of Hitler and his ways.
Perhaps, because he is younger, .Sheble
does not see Germany as a tragic nation.
Theie is, of course, no question but what
we must crush German militarism, but in
the process we must not base our actions
on Nazi racial assumptions nor trust to
methods of settlement which reflect in
the slightest Nazi methods of New-order-
ing con<iuered nations. The cohnnns ad<l-

I'll to my fi-i-liiii! that Sketch is kiviily invare
of tho worlil around il, and doiiiK a good
jol) o( ri'|).)rting it.
Tlu' stories in ^vm-nl do not conic up to
the standard of the articles. They lack a
hasis in immediate experience. Skillfully
as tl)e\- may l.e done, they seem to reach
out for something they don't ([uite get.
Lon Hill's "Lie" builds u|) a horrihie at-
ntosphere in a nightnmrish account of a
child who suffers front lack of love aiid,
I judge, progressive education. The
contrast of illtision and reality, the lie
that turns out to be the truth, is put across
forcefully. Hen Schneider pokes fun at
the college liberal, btit falls to focus and
round off his story. Donald Booz handles
a strike riot in the light of its deeper
implications; one road toward Fascism is
to treat a man like a beast; "the lion-
tamers" are the destroyeis of democracy.
Bernard Bailyn portrays in two letters an
unusual type of alumnus; "A l"ew Poor
Things" finds some lasting values in col-
lege life.
The poems show that the hearts of the
Williams poets arc in the right jilace. Am
I old-fashioned when 1 say that 1 could
wish they beat a little more rhythmically?
Milton Frigoff's "War a la Williams" has
some amusing lines, but as a whole doesn't
get anywhere. His "Hymn to the Con-
tinental Carbon Company" is stronger,
but he ought to wrestle his meters to a fall.
William Cantwell makes it plain in "Want-
ed: Someone" that human values out-
weigh material, and puts a punch into the
statement. Don't overlook Lawrence
Slide's musical "Farewell".
To-day more than ever we feel part of
our World, linked to it with all our being.
Sketch is to be congratulated that it stands
up well under the test that this feeling
leads us to appl\- in everything these days
find us doing.

live. The Purple had a dream night.
Time and again they registered impossible
set shots from the mid-floor and one-
handers from the side. Quintana and
Wallace each threw in three baskets in the
first half to give the Ephs a commanding
23-14 advantage at intermission.
In the second half Wallace and Harter
had a field day, increasing the lead to
twenty-seven points at the final gun. The
middle of this perioil saw Wallace take aim
and sink four lung set shots in a row.
Harter's tallies resulted from pivot shots
beside the keyhole.
GLEE CLUB
(ContiiuieiHroln iiaiji' 1)
second half is devoted to Chiislmas carols
concluding with the choir's ivnditioii of
"Silent Night." After the inleniiissioii
the octet will sing seven songs.
To conclude, the (dee Club will sing
four numbers, probably Williams songs.
Thus, as Hunke stated, the program is
arranged to inclucle nearly every type of
song.

Newhall Appoints Committee
The Committee, which was appointed
li\ Acting President Richard A. Newhall
nilli the approval of the house presidents
I IK I treasurers early last week, is headed by
I linctor of Admissions Thomas J. Wood
mil includes Williams J. Fuchs, Herbert
|S ('■;iy, Jr., Paul Murray, Jr., David K.
I'nt. Jr., and William W. Stedman '42
111(1 John C. Fuller '4.S.
.According to the report made yesterday,
" rill' Conunittee feels that a plan of
lonoiny for the social groups must
I I IK pare themselves for the inevitable
idiiction in siz.e, and they must do all that
h possible to .save money for investment
n United States Bonds.
Help Victory Program
"The economies and the resulting
investments will have the result of divctt-
|niK the sums of money from consumers'
iiiliistries thus freeing' equipment and
|hd)ar for defense work, and the funds in^
iM'sted in government bonds will enable
It he government to help carry out its
|\ii't(iry program."
The Committee went on to recommend
|tli it the suggested economies be saved for
111' remainder of the academic year and
|(i.issil)ly for part of the year 1942-43 and
|lii' put into bonds, but it added that more
.si rill); nt economies would probably be
liu'c'ssitated by the second semester of the
liii'xt academic year.

Present recommendations would call

Revive Car Ban
It has also been advised that the Under-
lii' uluate Council revive the ban on use of
|i .rs in Williamstown and that automobiles
I 'id particularly automobile tires be used
|with utmost discretion. The Committee
I'pealed to the individual students to
Ipi.ictice careful economy and stated that
I'Many thousands of dollars are now being
-l«'iit by Williams students on non
■sontial items with which they can dis
||i"nsc in this time of emergency."
Specific mention was given to reductions
liii cost of heat, light, water and food, and
[tlip Committee advocated tnat heat and
linht wardens be appointed in each social
loup. Time of shoAers, said the report,
Miould be limited in each house to three
piiinutes.
Sample Menus
Dealing with food, the Committee
^t ites, "At scaicely any of the preparatory
fci hoots and but few homes do students eat
[IS well as they do at Williams." A sample
enu was proposed, and waste and mid-
liight "snacks" should, according to the
Report, be abolished in every case.
Finally, the Committee states that the
purchase of newspapers, victrola records,
knd books should be kept at a minimum
M should rushing, banquet, and house
party expenses. It was further urged that
IVintcr Carnival be eliminated for the
juration, and that laundry bills and re-

A desperate rally in the last live minutes
saved Coach Dale Burnett's varsity court-
men fnmi a humiliating defeat last night
on the Lasell surface and enabled them to
overcome a sharp shooting St. Michael's
live by the narrow margin iif 47-44.
Resting on an eight point lead after a
brilliant first half, the Purple allowed the
Saints to come within a basket of tying
the score before spurting to their third
straight victory.
Saints' Captain Deadly
Paced by their shifty, dead-eye captain,
Jules Pequignot, who rang up nineteen
tallies, the Saints outscored the Ephs In
the second half. In the closing minutes
they brought the count to 37-35, but a pair
of hoops by both Jack Harter and Roy
Tolles and Bob Wallace's mid-floor ringer
gave the Purple the decision.
The invaders took their only lead of the
contest on Bob Malone's first minute
basket. It took the Ephs live minutes to
feel out the enemy defen,se, but then the
big guns started sounding. Marter broke
the ice with a penalty sh<it. Humby
Quintana and Wallace sank long ones,
Tolles tossed in a follow-up, Barnes con-
verted on an outside play, and the home
forces held a 10-3 advantage.
Wallace Set Shots
Three more long set-shots by Wallace
Tolles' beautifully executed cut-in, and a
tap shot by Harter mounted the score
rapidly. With less than a minute re
maining the Saints rallied. A mid-court
heave by Jack Fitzgibbon and a quick
break-away by Pequignot brought the
count to 23-15 at the half.

Pucksters To Compete
In Placid Tournament
Weather Halts Practice;
Warmup Games Slated
with Army on Jan. 2-3
After only five days of skating and two
of actual practice. Coach Whoops Snively's
hockey team will meet at Lake Placid,
N. Y. on Christmas day to enter the
annual Packer Trophy Tournament, a
three-day affair beginning on the 26th
of December and closing on the 29th.
From Placid, the sixteen-man squad will
move on to West Point for practice en-
counters with Army on January 2 and 3.
Since cancellation of the yearly game
at Rye with Dartmouth, usually the team's
breadwinner for the Placid trip, the stick-
men have voted to pay the costs for the
tournament themselves.
Three Lines
Snively revealed that he will take two
goalies, five defensemen and three com-
plete lines. Ready to work in the net will
be Captain Marsh Hannock and Bob
Gardiner, while potential starters at the
defense posts will be Bill Courter, Harry
Downs, Crunny Cole, Ted McFarlan and
Bernie Boykin. A serious loss to the
team is star right wing Bill Schmidt,
knocked out for the remainder of t..e
season by an attack of tonsilitis.
Schmidt Out
Sophomore Al Bedford will replace
Schmidt in the first string line with Ted
Brown and Bob Kittridge. In the second
line, Snively will have Johnny Fuller, Bob
Comfort and Red Nicholls, and in the new

Faculty Action Gives Rise To
Speculation on Summer Session
Professor Max Lerner
Faculty to Deliver
War Talks in 1942
Lectures on Background,
Issues of War Result
from Lerner's Proposal
Professor Max Lerner's war assembh'
plea for an understantling of the forces
operating in the world today as a necessary
prerequisite for a lasting democratic
victory has flowered into a college-spon-
sored lecture series on "War Perspectives."
Following the Christmas recess a series
of approximately fifteen addresses will be
delivered every Friday evening by faculty
members before students and towns-
people. These addresses will examine the
background, issues, and social psychology
of the present war.
Necessities of Victory
The series is directed towards an umler-
standing of what has happened to democ-
racy, why this has happened, and what
concrete measures are necessary to insure
a final victory of freedom in the world.
Specifically, the lectures will deal with
such considerations as the power realities
and military strategy of the war; the
relative capacities of the democratic and
totalitarian state forms for waging war;
the organization of a war econonn'; price
control; labor and managerial problems;
methods of paying for the war; anti-
democratic forces in wartime; and the
impact of the war on science and the arts.
Five-Man Committee
The original impetus in the move for a
realization of Lerner's December 10
suggestion of "education for citizenship"
came from Robert H. Griggs and C.
Frederick Rudolph '42. A five-man com-
mittee including these two undergrad-
uates. Professor Paul Birdsall, Associate
Professor Alan Sweez>', and Professor Max
Lerner as chairman was appointed by
Acting President Richard A. Newhall to
formulate a plan o! action.
The committee's topical outline of the
lectures and the speakers is still too
tentative for publication. To supplement
the series of formal addresses the com-
mittee will keep literature bearing on the
(See WAR LECTURES page 2)
Notice
Students who have not complied
with the Dean's Office request that
they obey the ruling concerning per-
mits for the possession of firearms
should either take their arms home
with them at this time or procure the
necessary written parental permission
at home and apply for a permit at the
Dean's Office immediately upon their
return. Students found in possession
of firearms without permit after
January 11 will be placed upon pro-
bation.

IN THE NEWS
According to a letter received by Acting
President Richard A. .Newhall from Guy
E, Snavely of the Association of Amer-
ican Colleges, there is no intention of
calling men of "the lower ages" in the
"immediate future". Meetings of the
Subcommittee on Military Affairs of the
National Committee on Education and
Defense were held in Washington on
December 11 and 16 at which time
otticials ot the association talked with
Brigadier-General Hersliey and two other
representatives of the War Department on
"the relationship of the colleges to the
changes in the Selective Service Act."
Undergraduates are cordially invited to
Williams Aliiniiii luncheons to be held
in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Chicago
daring the Christmas Recess. Local
alumni organizations of those cities will
inform students residing nearby as to the
place and time of these lunchi'ons.
Five members of the Williams s(iuash
team have been entered in the scvt^nlh
Aiiiiiial Intercollegiate Invitulion

University Clab, New \'ork City, from
December 22-24. Those who may see
action among a field of thirty-two Eastern
college standouts this vacation include
seniors Bob Hendrie and Hank Wolff,
juniors Dude Hemphill and Bill Schmidt,
and sophomore Al Maulsby.

if found expedient, of a continuous college
SL'ssion through the war, with the excep-
tion of several short vacations. He fur-
ther declared that the new i)lan would
involve no curtailment of acaiU'inie work.
Summer Session
Campus iiuerest in the possibility of a
summer session at Williams Iris been
roused o\er the |)ast week by the compre-
hensive array of accelerated prognims that
have been adopted at other eastern col-
leges, (.iterations in the curricula of
nearby in.stitulioiis are outlineil In an
article at thi' bjttoin of the jjage.)
The specific proposals in the faculty
move to gear Williams to the nation's
war eff'jrt follow, it is expected ihai they
will meet with the inimediate approval of
the Trustees.
Specific Proposals
(1) Midyear recess and spring recess
shall be eliminated for the present aca-
demic >ear.
(2) Classes for the second semester sh'.ill
begin on Friday, January .W and continue
through Tuesday, .'Kpril 28.
(3) For this period the schedule of
classes shall be modifiid by the utiliza-
tion of hours in the late afternoon so that
every class scliedulid in a morning hour
will have one additional meeting in the
afternoon every other week, and that
schedule lor other classes and lalvoratory
periods shall be a.ijiistid in a similar
fashion. In this way the |>rt'sent scheilule
for a course of six class hours i)er fortnight
is increased to seven.

Yale and Princeton Offer Three Year Plans;
Dartmouth Cancels Carnival, Spring Recess
The Big Three this week took steps in
offering students for the duration of the
war the opportunity to graduate in three
years by attending summer courses.
Simultaneously, Dartmouth shifted com-
mencement forward five weeks by elimina-
ting vacations and social events.
Summer Sessions
Declaring, "The best equipment you
can have for military service is a college
degree and a sound physique," Pres.
Harold W. Dodds of Princeton announced
a new voluntary curriculum which would
allow undergraduates at that institution
to graduate from a year to six months
ahead of schedule by attending summer
sessions of the college.
20% Increase in Work
By effecting a twenty per cent increase
in work and intensive use of reading
periods, no curtailment of degree require-
ments will be necessary, Dr. Dodds ex-
plained. New emergency courses will be
offered beginning with the second .semester
covering such fields as aeronautical
engineering

l.ililiir of llic Iriiiiscrijil'
I5ecaiise the elosiiio scnlence of a recent coiiiuiiuiicalioii toyonrpai)cr
was "lers hear from Williams," we are takiiv the liberty of an.swcrinfi
briefly (he public slur eoiilaiiied in Ihat letter anaiiist I he patriotism of
Williams iimlcifiraduales. Il is not a charfic thai we at Williams will
take seriously, liiil in the interest of a healthy miderstandiuK in the
coiiiniuuily it should not t;<) ininotieed.
The writers of the letter in (inestioii erred .seriously in stating that
"to ilate there haveii'l been any volunteers from Williams." They ignore
I he fact that ^Villiams men, for over a year, have been thinking and acting
in terms of service lo llie nation. There are men in college with suinincr
training' with the marines and other branches of the service, who now
are waiting foi- their next orders. Tlie?-c are seniors in college who have
snccessfully passed re(|iiiremeiits for the a''niy air corps, but who in accor.l-
iince with the army's wishes are remaining here until they graduate.
There are six ensigns on active duly with the I'liited States Navy today
who did not relurn to college this fall because llu'V sta'-ted their naval
training two \-ears ago. And there is no man in college today, we woul.l
\'entin'e, who is not thinking in terms of how he can best serve his luiiion,
wlielluM- thai I e in the navy or th.' army or the marines oi- in the research
lalioralory; or ri<4lil here at Williams College where President IJooscvelt
has asked iis to slay imlil called.
Il is true Ihat Williams men have not jumped up and started troop-
ing olf lo recriiiiiiig tdliees. Sonic of us have nnl because we arc already
con lit el a nun ig i lie men in the services. Some have tried and foil ml that,
for one reastni or another, they have been unable to fulfill all the re(|uire-
meiits. And yon will find the rest of us either inakiiig arrangcineiils for
gelling into the services soon, or at some iiol too dislant, but inlelligeiit,
stopping point ill our ciillegc work. You will find all of us making the very
lest of the opport iiiiilies Williau's College itself offers us lo serve IIk'
coiinlry \\t'll.
^'oiir correspoiideiils have overlooked completely the valuabk" and
imperative job Williams College .Iocs, in war or i>cace, in |>roviding this
democracy of ours with the men of trained intclligcnc.' and action who are
iiece.s.sary for I he survival and growth of our nation. The need for educated
men is jus! as great today us before the war, and will he far greater after
the war is over. And llirce years from now onr armed services will be
all the Idler for the men who have waited until then to leave college for
the .ser\ice. That is why, in our estimaliou, it is terribly im|)()rtaTit IV>r
inemhers of the two lower classes lo stay at Williams as long as they
c.aii. There is an important Iraining in iufelligeiice and growth in values
that comes with eatdi day spent at Williams, and it would he ii national
I ragcdy to desi roy I he.se weapons .so necessary to the s])iritual and political
strength of our democracy.
l.el no one fear that Williams will fail to liistinguish itself in battle in
this war, or thai its long tradition of .service will be broken. And let no
one iiake the mistake of confusing a rea.soned a]>i)roaeh to the tiuestion
of vohmleeriiig iinmcdiatcly with a lack of patrioti.sm. Nor make the
still more .serious mistake of throwing education out the window. When
this war is ov<m-, Messrs. Cliristiano and Cirillone will find that Williams
has done its usual good job, as a college, and as iiien in the field of battle.

find out abtnit the Dartmouth accelera-

Out of their telephone conversation on
Momliiy afternnim grew the set of sug-
gestions IVesident Ncwhall forwarded to

Quintet Scores at Will
The N'earliaj. basketball squad held
informal scrimmages the ijasl ten days, as
well as intensive team drills. They faced
a small, inexperienced Williamstown llif;h
School live, and rolled up a lar).;e score
against their youiiRer opponents. The
swiftness of their attack demoralized the
hi^h school, and they were able to score
almost at will. I5iib I'lunkett, e.\-Alhan\-
Academy ace, sparked the attack b\- hiiop-
inf; over 10 baski-ls in two short appear-
ances.

lhe>- looked ei|iially elTective, with a fore-
court combination of Dick Cnbilen, Dick
Mole, anil AniK Knox slandini; out.
Cobden capitalized on most of ih,- scoring
chances from close ran^e.
A scrimmage with the undefeated var-
sity on Tuesday was a horse of another
color. The upperclassmen were having
bad luck on the rim, hut their conlrol of
the backboard, and their all-nrounil learn
|)la\- was too much bir the freshmen, who
have given the varsity a taste of the s.ime
medicine on previous occasions.

Coach Dale Burnett's string of three
pre-vaeation court victories was ruflel>
shattered Christmas recess when his
varsity quintet dropped three hair-raising
contests to \'ale. Rutgers, and Brooklyn
Poly while downing oidy a weak Hofstra
five. The X'illanova game scheduled for
New ^'ear's night in Wilmington, Del.,
was cancelled by military authorities, who
declared that no collegiate games were to
be played in the Armory.
Ouintana, Lindsay Score
The Ephs played their best game of the
trip in upsetting Hofstra on December 30,
43-34. With Co-Captain Humby Quin-
tana loading the hoop with four shots, the
Purple gained a slight early advantage.
After the halftinie, when they held an
18-l.S margin, the five began to click.
Last year's freshman ca|)tain Don Lindsay
led the .second half barrage against the
tiring Hofstra cagers with three bucket
shots from the |)ivot post.
Wils Barnes and Quintana each tossed
ten points through the hoop to gake the
Eph scoring honors for the night.
To the Elis went the credit of breaking
the Willi.ims three-game win streak when
they inflicted a 44-3,S defeat at the West-
chester County Center on December 20.
Running up a lead in the fiist period, the
Blue was never headed. Tom \'ogt's
four hoops and a trio of sparkling mi<l-
court heaves by lanky Bert Ingley gave
the ^'ale quintet a commanding 24-16
advantage at intermission.
With Barnes and Jack Hartcr pacing the
attack, the Purple staged a second half
rally that fell only a basket short of tying
the Elis. But the Eph spurt was then
checked when both Captain Seelbach and
Vogt sank a pair of hoops.
Hitting the skids in the second half,
the Purple lost their second start at the
County Center against Rutgers December
29, 34-3L Roy Tollcs and Harter com-
bined in the opening minutes of the tilt to
give the Purple a 17-13 edge at the end of
the first half. Soon after the second half
tip-olT, Rutgers took the lead, and despite
the scoring efforts of Barnes and Quintana,

Mme. Fauchald To Be
Guest Singer Jan. 10
Mme. Nora Fauchald, Norwegian Amer-
ican soprano, will present a song recital
tomorrow night at 8:15 in The Adams
Memorial Theatre under the auspices of
the Women's Faculty Club. The pro-
ceeds from this concert are to be given to
the North Adams Hospital.
Mme. Fauchald who is an instructor at
The Juilliard School of Music, in New
York has sung not imly in many parts of
this country, but also in Berlin, Vienna,
and Czechoslovakia. She also spent five
years as soloist in John Phillip Sousa's
band.
In the October 16, 1940 issue of the New
York Times, she is spoken of as "a charm-
ing singer. What is more she can make up
an attractive and unhackneyed program
well suited to her temperament, voice, and
vocal style. Mme. Fauchald's voice is
pure and sweet, and she used it with
sensibility and expressiveness. Her Grieg
songs were particularly moving and
lovely."

War Role is Clarified
Acting Pr<'sidenl Uichard A. Newh.ill
clariiied Williams role in the war effort
Wednesday evening when he announced
officialI\' the college's adoption of an
accelerated academic program, and out-
lined the mechanics of the spring semes-
ter's telescoped schedule. At the same
time he indicated the probability of early
Trustee approval of a 1942 summer
session.
This information was presented to the
student body in connection with an in-
formal report on the plans for educational
adjustment to the emergency prescribed
by the recent Baltimore conference of 800
college and universit)' officials.
The new college acceleration program
will eliminate midyear and spring re-
cesses and increase second semester
classes from six to seven per fortnight.
This will mean two and one half hours of
additional classwork per week.
The schedule for the spring semester
will be presented to the faculty for their
approval Monday. Little opposition is
anticipated. Under the speeded up pro-
gram the hour between 1:00 p. m. and
2:00 p. m. will be utilized for additional
conf(»renres and lerl iire^ I ;d)f»ratnry niect-
ings will be held in the evenings.
The proposal for a continuous college
session will be considered b\' the Board of
Trustees at their February meeting. This
plan is designed to allow undergraduates
to fulfill the degree requirement in three
years.
President Newhall intimated that the
college might meet the problem of finan-
cing scholarship men dependent on
summer employment through its own
funds. No problem of freshman admissions
is anticipated since the cla.ss of 1946 will
probably be admitted in September.
As a move to supplement the academic
acceleration program President Newhall
further announced the creation of new
war emergency courses.
In his address President Newhall laid
special emphasis on the fact that the

NEW WAR
COURSES
As announced yesterday by Professor
Richard A. Newhall, acting president of
the college, the curriculum has been re-
vised to ni.'ike live new courses available
to students planning to enter in the near
futuri' some branch of the service re<iuiring
technical knowledge.
In the held of navigation, Assi.stanl
Dean William G. Perry will offer a new
course, Astronomy 4-X. This course,
designed priniarih" for the benefit of those
planning to enter the Navy's V-7 training
program, includes piloting, dead reckon-
ing, and seamanship, and will supplement
regular curriculum courses in meteorology
and navigation.
Astronomy 4-X is open to seniors,
juniors, and selected sophomores, with the
requirement that the applicant has
studied or is stuilying trigonometry.
Men who are taking Astronomy 3 are not
eligible for the new cour.se. All those
desiring to take this course should sec Mr.
Perry at once, since he is in charge of en-
rollment.
A second Astronomy' course. Astron-
omy 4, taught by Professor Willis 1.
Milham and dealing with land and sea
navigation, has been moved up so as to be
available to students taking Astronomy
1-2 this year. The only previous re(|uire-
ment is Astronomy 1.
The Mathematics I )epartnient is offer-
ing two new courses, Ic and 2c, which
can be taken either sc.paratcK' or logelher.
Full semester credit will be given for each
of these courses, which are designed to

Within several months Fraternity Busi-

at WillianiB College.
Culmiimting a year of investigation and
discussion, an .'\himni Committee acting
to reduce fraternity cjsts at Williams
unanimously rcconmieiuled the establish-
ment of a Fraternity Business Manage-
ment at a meeting in che Williams Club of
New \'orkon Dec. 30, and will meet again
tonight to (Iruv up final plans as to what
form such management will take.
Recommendations on the btisis of
tonighc's decisions will be made to the
social groups, and although ratification
must be left up to the fifteen fraternities
and the Ciarfield Club, no obstacles arc
foreseen inasmuch as any plans will have
the backing of alumni representatives of
each organization. Because of the exi-
gencies of the national emergency, speedy
acceptance is anticipatetl.
Amherst Manager Lends Aid
Acting on facts and figures of fraternity
costs com])ile 1 by Karle O. Brown,
assistant treasurer of (he college and
liaison re|)rescntative, the committee
composed of alumni of every social group
on campus and supplemented by Thomas
J. Wood, head of the newly-established
Economy Committee, and .Arthur Daven-
port, fraternity liu.siness manager of
Amherst College, definitely concluded that
a business ipaivgeiiient should be estab-
lished on the campus.

the committee and Andier.sl oUicials,

quire any previous college mathematics.
In order to take these new courses,
.students will be permitted to drop two
others not in their major. But, warns
Mr. Perry, "the department can't take
too many, and will admit onl\' those who
have to have the training now." Mr.
Perry is in charge of enrollment for ihe.sc
courses, and all arrangenu'nts must be
made with him.
With an eye to the field of radio com-
munications, the Physics Department is
making Electronics, ordinarily a junior
and senior course, available to sophomores
who have taken Physics 1-2 and Mathe-
matics 1-2. Thus sophomores will be able
to take this course during the summer.
Schuman Sees World Federated By Either
Axis Powers or U.S., Great Britain, Russia
by Paui- Dktels '44 '
In Design for Power, published this
week a study of the tumultous decade
which began in 1931, Prof. Frederick L.
Schuman has written a book regarded by
most critics as the best commentary on
those ten years. Lewis Gannett, literary
critic of the New York Herald Tribune, has
said: — "In the main his pre-Pcarl Harbor
analysis stands up well — Today Design
for Power seems to me as useful a
retrospect and prospect as is available."
Time Scorns Schuman
Only Time magazine disliked Schuman's
book, and their critic called him a dog-
inatist, and a "liberal totalitarian." In
a caustic review which sacrificed accuracy
for acrimoniousness, he said — "sometimes
Schuman mistakes the chattering of his
teeth tor revelationi'' It also announced
the conversion of Schuman to the cause of
Union Now, which revealed an unfamiliar-
ity with both Schuman and Union Now.
Schuman's plan resembles the proposals of
British Federal Unionists, but is not
closely allied with those of Clarence Strcit,
whom he introduced at the 1941 Spring
Conference.
However, the New York Times re-
marked— "there is no better all-over
interpretative survey in print." PM
waxed enthusiastic over Design for Power,
terming Schuman "ace-high as an historian
of our times."
Traces War Back To 1931
Schuman traces the spark of the present
war back to the first Manchurian incident
in 1931, when the U. S. and Great Britain
stood idly by while Japan invaded the
Chinese territory which had been guaran-
teed by both the L'. S. and Great Britain,
as well as Japan. He believes that action,
or failure to act, set off a logical chain of
consequences which found its latest mani-
festation in the Japanese attack on the
United States.

T. C. Smith's Lecture
First of '42 Series
Speaking on "The Three Year War
Debate and its Lessons", Professor
Emeritus T. C. Smith opened the annual
Thursday afternoon series of lectures
given by members of the faculty on
various topics.
The subject of Professor Smith's lecture
was the effect and formation of public
opinion on American foreign policy.
Other points discussed under this topic
included the political background behind
recent developments in American dip-
lomacy, traditional American isolationism,
post World War reactionary thinking, and
Roosevelt's new foreign policy.

time business manager.
Agitation regarding high fraternity
costs at Williams began as earl\* as Decem-

fraternity membership here was over $150
more expensive than at Amherst. Sub-

Weekly on Fridays
College Speed-Up, Paper,
Advertising Shortages
Restrict Publication
The executive otlicers of The Kkcoud,
in a move desigiud to aid the college in
curtailing all extracurricular activities
for the duration, last Tuesday voted to
restrict publication of the college news-
paper to one issue per week, appearing
Fridays. This restriction, which parallels
Thk Uk<ohii'» curtailment of publication
in October 1918, will go into effect Friday,
Feb. 6, when the 1942 editorial and
business boards surrender the leadership
of the newspaper to the 1943 staffs.
3 Causes Change Publication
Three new circumstances created by
the world war — Che college's new speedcd-
up curriculum, and anticipated shortages
in both paper and advertising were the
compelling motives behind TiiK Recoud's
curtailment of a semi-weekly publication
schedule which has been constantly main-
tained since January 1919.
Although the new publication dates
have not been determined because the
schedule for the college's summer session
is not yet completed, the 1943 editors hope
to publish TiiK Recohi) on ever>' Friday
that Williams is holding classes, during
both the spring and summer.
From May 1918 until January 1919,
The Recorb was forced to suspend publi-
cation completely because ahnost the
entire .staff joined the armed forces.
During this period of suspension, a four-
page paper, renamed Camp and Campus,
was published at Williams by those stu-
dents who still remained at the ct^llegc.

and a Committee on Miscellaneous
Matters (national fraternit\' costs and
social expenses).
Under the direction of Mr. Brown,
investigation of fraternity "facts in I
figures" began last March. Receiving the
almost cooperation from undergraduate
treasurers, Mr. 13rown was able to make
se\-eral reports to the various subcom-
mittees, and numerous meetings were held
throughout the balance of the year.
All accelerated Williaiii.s mcaii.s .soinetliiiig tlift'crciit to every one of
IKS. To all of us it gives more iiieaiiing to reiiiainiiig in college, as well as
an ojjport unity to make our services more valuable as a consequence of
continued education and new war courses. To the nation it means the
utilization of educational resources, of materials and men and ideas, for
the per])et nation and growth of our spiritual and political democracy.
To the armed forces it means the assurance of more men with basic
training in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and chemistry. To each
one of lis it means the acceptance of a challenge that tyranny has thrown
at our feet; it means the rejical of softness in the interest of the kind of
hartl work that it takes to do a hard job. To our eneniiej it is evidence
of our determination to let nothing go to waste in our fight to achieve a
total victory for freedom.
Surely this accelerated program will work hardships on lis. But if
there is a decrease in intercollegiate athletics, there will also be more
opjiortunities to beat ClioUy Keller's softball team this summer. If it
means less gratification with the "eating club"aspects of our fraternities,
it .shall mean a greater appreciation of the values in fraternities that really
count. If it necessitates fewer weekenils and shorteV viications, it also
shall develo]) a growing appreciation of the strengths that come with
sincere and determined effort.
This is not war hysteria, as some will undoubtedly maintain. For
there is an avenue for action in between the hysteria that waves a flag
at every opportunity, and the "don't-get-exeited-boys" temper which
proposes to throttle our enthusiasm and our energies. The war Williams,
as outlined by Mr. Newhall at Wednesday's college meeting, does, in our
estimation, find the proper channels for college men : these arc the channels
of harder work and of fuller usefulness; of jjrcparation for service to the
nation. These are far better channels than a business-a.s-usual Williams
would offer. This is a plan that will make po.ssible for many of us both
service and education, as well as making that service more valuable to
the nation by coui)ling it with the training in intelligence and growth in
values that are a part of Williams.
We cannot win a war today "as usual." The men of action and lead-
ershi)) of today and tomorrow cannot be j)reparetl "as usual." We cannot
win a total war, a twelve-month war, on an eight-month schedule. These
things the defeated democracies, and the victorious tyrannies, have taught
us. These challenges the accelerated Williams meets, energetically and
zealously, with a tradition of service and education that began when the
founder fell in battle.
Williams At War
The accelerated Williams that liegiiis next .semester — a Williams
that our t radit ion of .service dictates shall be in continuous ses.sioii for the
duration — is designed for more work in less time. But to a.ssume that
more work in le.-is time is an inijiosition placed upon undergraduates by
the college administration is about as .stupid as saying that the .selsctive
service act, $9,()()(),()()l),000 in new war taxes, and a two-ocean navy arc
impositions placed by Congress on the American people.
Imposition is very much the wrong word to lie used to describe action j culminating in the meeting of Dec. .W
taken to meet the enemy with the eiieiiiy's fire. For if the temiier of our |
nation and of our college were such that "time off" was more importanl I I IT A P f'flf'PSi'S I 3.X
than hard work, then there could be no iloubt about who would win this

Fraternity Treasurers
Denounce Applying New
Law to Social Groups
In a letter to Henry F. bong, Massa-
chusetts Commissioner of Corporations
and Taxation, last Tuesthu', the I'nder-
graduate Treasurers' Association pro-
tested the application to Williams College
fraternities of a state law providing for a
S% Old Age Tax on charges for all meals
served to the public.
Williams social groups have, however,
complied with the Massachusetts ruling
which was put into effect (jn January 1,
1942, and, following a precedent recently
set by Amherst fraternities, ha\e registered
as eating houses under protest.
The letter asserted that "in no sense of
the word do the groups serve meals to
the public", and pointed out that each of
the social groups is restricted to members
of Williams College and that each caters
only to "its student members."
"We stress", ran the protest, "that the
above groups are run on a non-profit
basis to meet the definite need of the
college."
The letter stated that inasmuch as
Williams fraternities are not public meal
checks such as are provided for in the
registration blanks would be wholly un-
feasible and that meals are paid for on a
monthly basis.
Rev. Coleman to Speak
On London in Wartime
The Rev. Michael Coleman, acting
vicar of All Hallows by the Tower, one of
London's most historic churches, has seen
London "burn and learn." On Monday,
January 12, at 7:45 p.m. he will speak in
Jesup Hall on his wartime experiences in
the British capital.
The Rev. Mr. Coleman, who is in this
country at the special rcc|uest of The
British War Relief .Society, has experienced
the horror of total war, and has seen the
reaction of the British people under
Hitler's aerial blitz. He is convinced that
the physical and spiritual fibre of his
people will see them through.
His church, located on Tower Hill on
the south side of the Thames, in the heart
of London, was completely demolished by
bombs. Mr. Coleman has witnessed the
destruction of his own home and many of
London's famous landmarks. Many of
his friends have been killed, and he him-
self has helped carry the bodies of the
dead and woinided from the ruins.

Williams measures for facing the emer-
gency were ill direct pursuance of the
policy formulated at the recent Baltimore
conference of national educators. In
addition to advocacy of the accelerated
academic year and the establishment of
war training course, the conference went
on record in favor of the application the
.selective service for war-time allocation
of man-power.
President Newhall pointed out that the
possibility of a Williams R. O. T. C. had
lieen ruled out at the conference. The
college officials were informed by an army
representative Ihat the existing R. O. T. C.
units would definitely not be expanded.
The army today, not including the air
force, is not taking officer material directly
from the colleges but is using the present
armed forces as "feeder" for the officer
corps. The navy and the marine corps on
the other hand have .special officer training
courses for undergraduates with at least
two years of college credit.

Williams Squad Reaches

But Drops Colgate Tilt
Seriously hampered by lack of practice,
Whoops Snively's skaters journeyed to
Boston Wednesday night to take a sound
shellacking from the Harvard sl.\, and go
down to tiefeat, 7-1. It was the fourth
triumph of the season (or the Crimson,
while Williams was having her first reg-
ularly-scheduled game.
Superior speed, and advanced stick-
handling told the tale on the Boston
Skating Club ice, and Harvaril had both.
They scored at least two g(jals in each
period, with three In a wild and wool>-
second stanza. Willlanis was able to
penetrate the Harvard defenses only a few
times In the whole game, and one of those
times Bob Nichols counted on a pass from
Ted Brown.
Cantabs Tally First
Opening the game aggressively, the
Crimson could not score until more than
four minutes had passed, when Johnny
Paine back-handed a shot past Captain
Hannock for the lirst goal.
Nichols Scores For Williams
The Purple skaters came on the ice at
the beginning of the second period deter-
nilnetl to score, and Brown evaded the
Cantab defensenien, after capturing the
puck, long enough to get off a pass to
Nichols, who pushed the puck past the
Harvard goalie, making the score 2-1.
In the I'mal minutes of the game. Coach
Snively removed Marsh Hannock from
the nets, and sent him down ice in a last-
ditch attempt to score, but even this
measure failed, and the game ended shortly
after.
In the annual intercollegiate hockey
invitation tournament, which is a feature
of College Week at Lake Placid, Sniveh's
rinkmcn went to the finals before being
beaten 5-1 by the same Colgate team that
stood between them and the Samuel
Packer Trophy last year, and that they
roflted 7-1 on Cole Field last February.

Brooklyn Poly ran Its string of con-
quests to six last Saturday evening when
they came from behind In the last minute
of play to eke out a 44-43 victory. Sur-
ging ahead from the opening whistle by
virtue of four ringers by Bob Wallace, and
three pivot shots by Barter, the courtmen
ran up a 24-18 advantage just before the
half. A desperate rally by the home
forces tied the count at 24 all as the gun
went off.
The Brooklynltes continued their surge
after the half when they chalked up ten
more markers before the Ephs could score
a point. After an exchange of buckets,
the Purple put on their own rally and
finally caught I'oly at M apiece. With
but a minute to go Jack 1 larter made a bid
as hero of the evening when he sank a set
shot from the side to put the visitors back
into the lead, 43-41.
But Poly came right back to deadlock
the score again when Charley Murray
converted his sixth basket of the iiiulu ^i
a fast break. With less than fifteen s.i„|„|j
remaining, forward Charley Walsh dnw a
foul and cooly sunk the winning tally from
the penalty line.

Nin-Culmell Gives
Thompson Concert
Piano Recital by Music
Instructor to Be Held
In AMT Tuesday Night
Joacpiin Nin-Culniell, instructor of
music at Williams, will play the piano in
the fourth concert tif the Thompson Con-
cert .Series tomorrow evening in the Adams
Memorial Theatre.
Born in Cuba, Mr. Nin-Culmell has
long been interested in Ibero-.^merican
music as a link which might be a means of
promoting better relations between the
Americas. Many have called him a self-
appointed ambassador of good will in the
field of iiiusic.
Rich Inheritance
The guest artist's musical inheritance is
rich, his father being J()a(|uin Nin, Cuban-
born Spanish pianist and cclitor: his
mother, Rosa Culmell, Franco-Danish
singer while his god-mother was Teresa
Carreno, a famous Wnezuelan pianist.
Mr. Nin-Culniell has studied in Eng-
land, .Spain, and France, ])ublishing his
first work, "Thri'c Impressions", in 1928.
During the last six years, he has i)la\ed his
Ibero-American nnisic at Dartmimth,
Mid(llebur\', Columbia, the Beethoven
Association, and at many other colleges,
.schools, and clubs.
Tomorrow's Program
His program tomorrow night will
include "Concerto in the Italian St\le" by
Bach, two sonatas by Padre Galles, the
Miller's dance l)\' Falla, "Distant Sara-
band" by J. Roderigo, "Danza de la
Pastura" and "Danza de la Gitana" by
E. Halffter, ".Sonata ()|). 35" by Chopin,
and one of his own works called "In
Memoriam Padercwski."
Emotional Power
It has been said that the young artist
"shows a hne ta.ste and musicianship in his
interpretations. His fingers fairly fly over
the ke\s with a brilliant and consistent
emotional power that is both refreshing
and sincere."
Mr. Nin-Culmell has appeared over the
radio several times as guest artist with
well-known orchestras. Tomorrow's re-
cital will be the first of two scheduled for
the music instructor in this year's series
of concerts.
WilliamB Innovates
Course in Japanese
According to latest information
from the Dean's office a course in
Japanese will be given at Williams
next semester. Although the instruc-
tor of this subject has not been deter-
mined yet, he will be a member of the
present faculty who studied the lan-
guage several years ago. This class
is designed to meet the government's
acute need for reliable interpreters of
that tongue as expressed by Acting-
President Richard A. Newhall at the
college meeting last week.
The Naval and Army Intelligence
Services as well as many governmental
offices are in need of men with some
basic knowledge of Japanese.

Variety Show Programs
Using All Local Talent
High-Light New Set-Up
Plans for the sponsoring of two com-
munity entertainments highlight the deci-
sions reached b\- the Committee of the
Adams Memorial Theatre in last Monday's
po!ic>-niaking meeting. Warren Hunke
'42, one of two student representatives on
the committee, indicates that, by com-
nmnity entertainment, the Theatre Com-
mittee means exaclK- what it says.
Talent from the student body, faculty,
town and nearby communities such as
North Adams will be welcome to parti-
cipate in the programs. The entertain-
ments will be essentially variety shows
embracing such performances as one-act
plays, piano exhibitions, entertainment
ilancing, sleight-of-hand tricks, possible
appearances of the Purple Knights, and
other similar acts.
Minimize Budget, Admission Price
The entertainments, designeil to be
produced on a minimum budget and to
have the lowest admission price possible,
will have all profits donated to the coffers
of the I'SO. The AMT Conuuittee will
supervise the shows. Hunke also points
out that there exists a possibility that the
shows may go on a tour of nearby army
camps such as F'ort Devens and Fort
Edwards.
Drive To Find Talent
The director and a.ssistant director of
the AMT have already launche<l a cam-
paign to locate variety show talent avail-
able in VVilliam.stown, North Adams, and
vicinity. To do this, one student in each
organized social group of the college and a
member of each of the various other local
groups is appointed to act as theatre repre-
sentative in his own organization. By
this means, potential performers and back-
stage workers can be located and ap-
proached. Those not contacted in this
way are urged to contact cither Max H.
Flowers or James E. Michael at the AMT;
opportunities to take part back-stage as
well as to perform arc open to everyone.
Slade Directs Plays
First on the program for the coming
semester is a production of three one-act
plays scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 28.
The first of these is The Organ Grinder, to
be directed by its author Lawrence Slade
'44, next on the program is a German play,
Der fahrende Schuler im Paradies by Hans
Sachs and to be directed by Mfs. Henry
Hatfield and Slade. The final number is
slated to be the winning play in the one-
act play contest just ended. Twelve
scripts were submitted and arc now in the
hands of the judges, Messrs. Frederick L.
Schuman, H. D. Smith and Michele A.
Vaccariello. Student director is to be
determined after the winning play is
announced.

Sparked by diminutive Co-Ca|)tain
Humby Quintana, Coach Dale Burnett's
varsity courtmen staged a dazzling ex-
hibition of basketball in the final six
minutes of action Saturday night on the
Lasell surface to overcome M.I.T., 46-38,
in an exciting but poorh-played contest.
The invaders snared an early lead on the
momentary spectacular shooting of their
burly right forward George Marakas.
Sinking three of his first four shots in
addition to a penalty throw, he personally
handed the Red an 8-2 advantage after
five minutes of action. Only some ragged
and hard luck sliooting preventeil the
Engineers fiom running up the score.
Quintana Ties Score
Gradually the Purple bit into this
margin. A pair of ringers by Jack Harter,
Roy Tolles' brilliant conversion of (Juin-
tana's long pa.ss, \\'ils Barnes' tap in of a
missed foul shot, and (Juintana's impossible
underhanded toss when he was blanketed
by two men brought the tCphs e\en with
the Engineers at 13-all. 1 latter put the
home forces out in front for a short time
with a pair of follow-ups of loopers by
Quintana and Monk Stanley, but here the
shakey M.I.T. combine stitTeiied and dead-
locked the score at 18 apiece at the half-
time gun.

For Station ; Burnett,
Octet Also on Program
Pres. James P. Baxter, 3rd., introduced
the new Williams College program over
WBRK, Pittsfield yesterday, inaugurating
a series of broadcasts whose purpose is to
give Berkshire X'alley listeners a "sample
of what goes on in the college itself."
William C. Schrani '43 introduced Dr.
Baxter who began his talk by saying that
Williams was founded in 1 793 as the
"Athens of Western Massachusetts," and
that 150 years later she is still conscious
of her position and responsibilities as an
educational institution.
Baxter Lauds I/VMS
Lauding WMS as "one of the best
known college radio stations of its type,"
President Baxter congratulated its staff
on its fine work since the founding of the
station a little over two years ago. He
also praised Monroe England '18, director
of WBRK, for his cooperation in making
this series of programs possible.
Concluding his remarks with reference
to the World War, the President declared
that men with training which colleges like
Williams offer, would find a "lasting
peace" for the workl.
Ootat Sings
The Glee Club Octet, introduced and
led by Warren G. Hunke '42, sang two
groups of songs, including "Katie Malonc"
and "I Love the Ladies."

Alumni to Recommend
Final Form to Houses
This Week, Linder Says
I'inal form of the plan to be termed the
"Campus Business Management at Wil-
liams College" was determined at a meet-
ing of the .'\lumni Committee at the
Williams Club of New York Frida\' night,
according to Chairman Fred E. Linder '12,
and "a complete report for recommenda-
lioii to till' fraternities and the Garfield
Club was adopted."
Owing to the naturi' of the situation,
however, Mr. Linder declined further
eommeiU on the actual form to be recom-
mended until action has be<>n taken by the
president of thi' alumni organization of
each fraternity, of the Garlield Cub, and
of the Society of Alumni.
In a telephcme interview from his home
in Staten Island yesterday, Mr. Linder
stated that the recommendations decitled
upon at the Dec. ,30 iind Jan. ') meetings
would be put into mimeograph form and
forwarded to the fraternities and to the
alumni presidents some time this week.
In anniiuneing the action of the com-
mittee, Chairman Linder said, "The cimi-
mittee has unanimously voted to recom-
mend the pinmpt establishment of a busi-
ness management, to be called the Campus
Business Management at Williams College,
for the various fraternities and the Garlield
Club.
"In ni>' opinion," eontinui-d the coiii-
niittee chairman, "such a plan eiiuld not
possibly go into effect until around March
1, but at least the foundati(ms have been
laid. We shall expect definite action on
tla recomnundaM .'lis hy the fraternitie,';
and the Garfield Club not later than Feb.
22."
Chairman Liiuler asserted his utmost
confidence in the plan advocated by the
alumni representatives of each of the fra-
ternities and of the Garlield Club, anfl, in
response to a report of criticism on the
score that such a plan might involve more
expenses than it could eliminate, stated
that "the committee has gone into every
phase of the questitm and would nol have
adopted such a course had it ihougin such
would be the aise."
Asked whether his conuuittee would
continue to function, Mr. Linder replied
that although there was little remaining
within their jurisdiction to be done, the
various repri'sentatives woul 1 complete
the job of filling out reports, receiving and
investigating replies to the recommeiKla-
tions. He al.so said that they would
probably conduct a graduate di.srussion
on the subject at the mid-winter lionie-
coniing on Feb. 22.

Board has planned a speed-up schedule
advancing its publication dale from late
May to .^llril 20, Business Manager
Edward L. Emerson '43 announced last
night.
Characterized by a new informality in

the military angle wherever possible,
including all available pictures of some-
time members of 1942 now serving with
the armed forces. There will he no group

Fraternity Finances
The lucky .st<ars of a lot of Williams fraternity treasurers and stewards
should he eoining in for a }?ood deal of thanking tliese days. It is fortunate
that agitation for a form of cooperative management for Williams began
here over three years ago, before fraternity officers were thinking about
what war wouhl do to their books. It is fortunate that agitation began
long enoiigli ii^o lo make fr.tternity management pos.siblc toda.v, becaii.so
there can be no doubt about the willingne.ss of all fraternity officers to
welcome iiioiicy-.saving devices.
Last spriiij; there was certainl.y a good (leal of undergraduate skejiti-
cism about fraternity l)iisinc.ss management, and today there nuist be some
men and .soiuo cooks who will find it difficult to overthrow prejudices
which lliey liave nurtured against any cooperative bu.sine.ss venture.
The war, nonelheiess, has done a lot to make inevitable the accei)tance of
a plan which was imperative, on its own merits, as an impleinciit in lower-
ing tlie high cost of living at Williams.
Tiic alumni committee which has worked diligently since last spring
in perl'ecliiig the plan, .soon to be presented to each fraternity, deserves
the warmest kind of thanks from the undergraduate body. All Williams
men owe them full .a])prcciation for the .service iliey have made to their
college, and to I heir fraternities. A ])ian of cooperative management may
be just the mechanism that will enable Williams' .social organizations to
survive the financial ordeals of this war.
Some fraternities may still be unimpressed with the economies which
are i)romised by the new Campus Hu.siness Management, as .some are
still uniuii)re.sse<l i)y the recent re])ort of Mr. Wood's committee urging
dra.stie economies in the management of each fraternity. It will not take
many more weeks, and tin- decrea.se in the enrollment of the college and
thi' houses which tlu'.sc weeks will bring, to make every hou.se realize that
there is a terrific job of girding to be done if it is to .survive. The new
Campus Hii.sine.ss Management certainly offers them some lioijc, but the
internal economics .should begin now. For we need not be Schunians to
anticipate the financial problems of Williams fraternities six months and
a year from now.
There are .some peo])le talking about this war in terms of a .social
revolution so inclusive that fraternities will have no place in the world
after the war. We are so sure that the kind of world we are fighting for
includes the values fraternities leach us, that every ))recaution must be
taken today to make .sure that fraternities are here when l:he war is over.

London Vicar Gives
War Talk Tonight
Rev. Coleman Will Relate
Experiences as Leader
Of All Hallows Church
The Rev. Michael Coleman, whose war
time experiences as acting vicar of historic
All Hallows Church in London have given
him an insight i[ito the Hritish character,
will lecture tonight at 7:4,S in Jesup Hall
on the topic "l.oiulon Burns and Learns."
The Rev. Mr. Coleman's church, located
on Tower Hill on the south side of the
Thames, in the heart of London, has been
com|)letely demolished by bombs, and Mr.
Coleman himself was forced to stand helj)-
lessly by and watch his home destroyed
and his friends killed. From these exper-
iences he has acrpiired a keen appreciation
of the necessary spiritual values engender-
ed by the need of adjusting ourselves to a
world at war.
The Re\'. Mr. Coleman is a graduate of
Hradfield College, lierkshire, and holds his
Ordination Degree from the Lincoln
Theological Seminary. 1 le has served as
curate in several Knglish parishes, and in
19.15 he was sent to Western Canada as
administrator for ihe organization known
as Toe H. In lO.IS he became acting
vicar at All Hallows, the guild church of
Toe II.
Mr. Coleman, at the special re(piest of
the British War Relief Society, arrived in
this country earl>' in I'Ml after a haz.ird-
ous sixteen-da>' crossing in a convoy
which lost several ships to (ierman raiders.
In describing his work of today Mr.
Coleman si>s, "We ha\e a new and fas-
cinating job to do. We are friend, parent,
comforter, gni<le, teacher, jihysician. We
are the indestruclilile church in war."

Colleges Accelerate as Sports' Schedules
And Entrance-Graduation Demands Are Cut
Kducation-.d institulions throughout the country are ailopiing accelerated programs
as Union cut a week oil ils Christmas vacation, t.ie University -f Nirlh Caiolina
announced that it will accept applicants who have comi leted their sophomore
year in high school, and Dartmouth cancelled its winter carnival and spring
sports schedule. In addition to speeding up acidemic schedules, air raid precautions
have been taken with repair crews and emergency battalions already formal on
many cimpuses of the nation.
Optional Basis "^
Only variance in the academic speed-up
prograins planned by the men's colleges
of the nation is that some, such as Cornell,
Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, and ^'ale.
are offering it on an optional basis. Of
these five, N'alc is the only one that has
not yet done away with its spring \acation.
L'nion's move which took a week off its
Christmas vacation was part cf a plan
that came from the student body. The
Dean of North Carolina ex])lained that
the move to take in |)ublic school students
wdio have completed their tenth year is
purely experimental. Old y men osf super-
ior <|ualification who can pass the cust-
omar\' entrance examinations will be ac-
cepted. Brown has agreed to take in high
school juniors on the same basis.
Dartmouth Ban
At a meeting in Burlington, \ t. before
Christmas vacation, Dartmouth's track
Harvard will give special "wcr certif-
icates" to all undergraduates who with-
draw from college it emer the armed
forces before the campletion of the re-
()uiremcnts for a degiee. The only
provision is that those men be in good
standing and have finishe<l one year of
satisfactory work. .Students who leave
that university to enter specialized train-
ing in the graduate schools there will gel
certificates of "honorable withdrawal"
if they \vi\v finished three successful years.
25 Elis Enlist
At ^'ale only twenty-five men, or one-
half of one percent of the student body,
have left college to enlist. Key buildings
of that university have .dready been safe-
guarded by sanilbags while spotters' look-
outs have been erected on all tall campus
structures.
Amherst and W<'sleyan h:'\a' ;ulo|)te('.
coach stated that there will lie no varsity , plans similar to the one which is aboul to

Army, armed and slrategically placed to
control the counlr\' by means of a vast
native arm\' which ma>' easily reach the
total of eighty thousand men The
Italians hold the linances, the Germans the
political connnand, and the Japanese the
Army. The "Kifth Column" in Peru
functions with wide official support. The
new Minister of War (General Fuentes)
was our Ambassador Extraordinary- t<i
Japan two years ago, and at thai time
declared:
'1 think thousanils and ihcmsands more
Japanese should be brought to Peru-
I'he Japanese and (jermans are working
together here with full understanding.
"Many Japanese nmnicipal Intendants
(Prefects of Police) havebeennamedby this
government: The Head of the Comnmne
of Maldonaldo, capital of Madre de Dios
(Province) is a Japanese: so is the Inten-
danl of the city of A\-acucho, and ihal of
\'iru, near Trujillo "
Descended from Pizarro's Men
There is lillle doubt that Ha\a de la
Torre speaks reliabh'. He is one of Peru's
famous "ten families', descended from the
loyal lieutenanls of Pizarro, and he has
studied al Oxford, and lectured at Harvard
I'niver.sity here. In June 1927 he spoke
at a Williams Summer Conference on
International Relali(ms. He has not
claimed his office as President onl\- becau.se
he does not believe in shedding blood in a
civil war, wdiich would result from such an
action.
Although the Japanese have penetrated
to some degree into Mexico, Columbia,
and Ecuador, nowhert' has their success
been so great as in Peru. Mexico has sent
an expedition to rout the Japs from lower
California, and Columbia has offered us
bases for operation against the Japanese.
Jap, Peruvian HaHbreeds Much Alike
This penetration has succeeded so well
mostly because there is a strong siniilarit\'
between the Jap and the Peruvian half-
breed, both in stature and in physiogimmy.
Other nations in South America, such as
the Argentines and Brazilians, regard the
Japs as an inferior race, and will have
little to do with them. A second important
factor is the conmiercial hold the Japanese
have gained in the smaller towns and cities.
A hopeful note was sounded Wednesday,
December 10, when the Peruvian Congress
made a declaration of solidarity with the
United States, but this was very loosely
worded, and cannot be compared with the
tangible assistance and declarations of
other Latin-American nations.
Williams Courses Fill
Naval Requirements
Adequate preparation in math and
science courses is the chief need of candi-
dates for ofticer-lraining, the Navy de-
partment said, in a recent niitionwide
release to all college newspapiTs. This
widespread lack is a hindering factor in
our program of accelerated defense efforts.
Trigonometry is considered the most vital
in ihis field.
Asking the co-operation of all education-
al institutions in aiding the Nav\' in obtain-
ing and training personnel, the release
stressed the fact that the Navy fixing
program, known as ihe \'-5 course, per-
mits college juniors and seniors to com-
plete their academic careers. Sophomores,
juniors, and seniors enlisting in the \'-7
course for naval officers will be permillcd
to finish the present college \ear.
\arious existing and newly-created
courses fill other Nav\- needs, while WMS'
course in the International Morse Code
answers another refjuirement. Existin:.^
Ph\'sics courses cover the fields of ele-
mentary radio and communications, and
the demands of Elementary Navigati:in
are more than met by the new Aslrononn

The Hoard of I directors of Cap and Bells,
Inc. met Wednesday afternoon to form ihe
policy for thai organization during the
balance of the school year. By ihe unani-
mous decision of the members of the board,
plans for Ca|) and Bidls' two major forth-
coming pniduci ions— "Awake and Sing,"
heduled fur March 1.^ and 14, and the
house parl\ musical comeih' -!ia\'e been
Lbaiul<iin-ii.
Reasons for Curtailing Production
As reasons for this drastic action the
board off'iTs two points lo support scrap-
ping each of the ])roduetions. As for
Awake and Sing", the decision was
reached thai (1) ihe students wouUln'l
have Ihe necessars' lime lo devote, anil (2)
besides the question of liiiances, the nature
of this wi'ighlN' and somewhat miiibid play
would be unsuil:ible. The decision lo
terminate plans for a hous;' part\ musical
was an easy one lo re.ich since no such mus-
ical has as \-el been written and it istoolate
n iw 111 start one. Here again lhei|Uestion
if linances and the amount of lime that
could be devoted b\ the students was a
major deciding factor.
'Thi' Board nf I )ireclors, however, has by
lo means completely given up the idea of
having some sort of hous.- parly produc-
tion, if there are bouse parlies. 'Tentative
plans, hinging on how much of an increased
load the forthcoming class siheduli' places
on the sludenl, are alreaily under con-
sideration. .-\n idea which was presented
and received much favor embraced the
possibilil\ nf putting on a light coniedx' of
one set and having a smallcasi . A play of this
sort wonil reipiirc inlensilieil. but short,
practice sessions plus the possible casting
of girls from Bennington or Sniilh (as was
done in the 1941 summer) if such a ihing
could be arranged.
.■\ suggestion that ("ap and Bills should
purchase, with existent funds from ils
treasury, I'nited States Defense Bonds
was also met with enthusiaslic approval.
The concensus of opinion among 1 he mem-
bers of the board is thai the chances of
pulling on a play are sliglil and that the
defense bonds should be purchased, any
left over money to be used for a tentative
inexpensive production to be pul on for
possibU' house jiarties.

^Records* of World War I Tell of Trenches,
Uniforms on Completely Military Campus
St lulciits (Irc'ssi'd in olivi- (Iral) uniforms iiiarchiiiH (nini class to class, courses in
niilitar\ art, and the (linyinj; of trenches near the present hockey rink were a few
of llu- war time innovations at Williamslown during World War I accorilin;,' to
l')17-l')18 editions of PuK l<i-iconi). While President Harry A. (iarlield was at work
in Washington as National Fuel Administrator, Williams dropped everything to
imparl' men for the American Kxpeilitionary Forces.
Military Science Course *
ICven before the I'nited Slates' entry
into tlu' conflict a six-hour course in mili-
tar\' science was olTered by the college
through the backing of government funds.
L pon the declaration of war forty-three
students left college inmiediately t
government training camps.
I'hose who sta>ed at Williams were able
to take K. O. r. C. instruction. Three
courses in Military Art were started with
tually suspending publication until Jan-
uary, 1918 it was typical of campus life
that was not direclh' connected with the
war or with students' receiving their
diplomas. In 1917 the football team beat
o go to Ix'tli Cornell an<l Columbia. The follow-
ing year intercollegiate football gave way
to the training program.
Although a kEi-oiin editorial inferred
that undergraduates were shirking in
admittance to the latter two based on their studying of regular curriculum sub-
previous military experience. Credit was ; K'cts, an article in the Alunnii Rei'ieiv of

Training Camp
In the smunier of 1917 Williams became
a training camp for all sulifreshnien.
Undergraduates and alumni. By including
subfreshnien Williams becante one of the
few camps in the country without a mini-
mum age limit. When the college opened
in the fall of 1918 theri' was no more
Kkcoui), Campand Cinnpus, a publication
with an entiri'ly differ<'nt staff took its
place. It had gcme the way of most extra-
curricular activities, including athletics
and fraternity life. The Student Army
Training Corps was inaugurated in .Sep-
tember, 1918, which demanded the ser-
vices of all physically able studeiUs.
Diploma Concentration
I'p to the time of its suspension 'Tiik
l<Kconn printed military problems and
passages from drill books for which Mili-
tary Art students were held responsible.
I'irst cutting down to one issue a week
from its senii-wi'ekl\' status.
Thos. McMahon
October, 1918 stated that Williams men
had become "sterner, game, broader, more
democratic," and "more like men". It
stated that typical college pranks had
disappeared from the campus.
According to old copies of The Recoiid
the policies of this paper were similar at
the beginning of World War I to the
present day advice of sticking with the job.
Further digging into Library files shows
that the Williams ()»»r/c/-/y of 1863 vigor-
ously backed this polic\' in regard to en-
listing for .service in the Civil War. It
said, "It is a poor policy to rob the temple
of science to supply the ret|uirenients of
war." That publication went so far as to
see a demand for scholars U> counter-
balance "the waves of corruption" that
would accompany the return of armies
from the batllelield.
This attiilude changed soon after the
I'nited States entered the war for Recoud
editorials and communications all pointed
to unrestricted aid lo the front lines. 'The
and even- j t*nl>' step not taken by the college was thi-
[giving of war diplomas. I'ndergraduates
were ref|uire(l to return after the war to
finish their studies. In the majority of
the cases the stu<lents (lid return and go on
to graduate according to Professor Theo-
dore C. Smith.

prevent the same or even a worse peace
than the one secured by his generation.
Background For Peace
In the time remaining to each student at
college, whether it be three mimths, or
three years, President Baxter sees a real
job for ever>' man — getting all the back-
ground he can for winning the peace, a
task which will be harder than winning the
war. Finishing college is "not as dramatic
as dive-bombing" but there will be a
definite need for the kind of training we
are getting at Williams, he said. It is a
matter of dividing the fighting time ahead
of us intelligently.
In putting across his point. Dr. Haxter
([uoted fiec|uently from a letter written by
the head of a government agenc\' to his
son, a junior in college. For this man Dr.
Baxter had nothing but the highest praise,
hoping that he some ilay would hold a far
higher position.
'Shield of Faith'
It is important also to have your "loins
gird about with truth." The "shield of
faith" is, the President asserted, "the
thing to tie to." Whether in college, or in
the army or navy, decency, self-control,
and clean-living are still the virtues which
command respect, rather than bravado, he
said, citing his return from the Baltimore
Conference for College Presidents with
some uniformed men displaying a lack of
those qualities.
In closing the President related an
anecdote told him by Admiral Lister, of the
British Mediterranean Squadron, concern-
ing the British raid on Taranto, which was
the model for the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. The pilots had been sent olT
from H. M. S. Illustrious for a long six-
hour bombing raid on the Italian naval
center, and were scheduled for a similar
expedition the following night.
Fleet Annihilated
That afternoon, wishing to find out how
the younger men had taken it. Admiral
Lister sent an ofiicer to the ward room to
listen to the ciinverKition. The officer
overheard one eighleeii-year old aviator
saying:— "They only asked the Light
Brigade to do it once." Weather pre-
vented the pro|)oseil flight that night, and
later events showed that the one raid had
annihilated the Fascist fleet.

(Continued from page 1)
Introduced by Schram as the exponent
of the athletic side of Williams, basketball
Coach Dale Burnett was interviewed about
this season's varsity five and about his
experiences as a professional football and
basketball i)layer. When questioned
ahoul the curtailment of the inter-
collegiate athletic schedule, Burnett de-
clared that it shiiuld be intensified rather
than curtailed for it is a "great training
for boys about to go into the army."
Terming the Williams basketball team
as "lacking in height," but capable of
playing a fine basketball game, Coach
Burnett added at the same time that the
loss of Co-Captain Humb\' Quintana to
the Naval Air Force would be a blow to the
team.

Profits of Carnival Victory Night Program
To Go to Lucky Students as $25 War Bonds
An inexpensive and patriotic colleKC
dance on the Saturday ninlu of the cur-
tailed wint<'rc,irnival weekend will replace
the usual two niKlits of dancing this year,
as a result of action taken yesterday by the
rndergraduale Council and the Purple
Ke\. The affair, on January ,?l, will be
known as \ictory Night, and its program
will includ.' a varsity-freshman basketball
game and singing b\' the Williams Clee
Club Octet.
1945 Varsity Quintet Clash
.'Ml |)roceeds nf the affair will lie turned
into $2S defense bonds to be given away at
the dance to holders (jf wiiming tickets.
In effect, ever\ ticket will amount to a
chance on the bonds. It is expected that
many undergraduates will take advantage
of the low price of .SO cents a ticket to buy
several "cltances" on the bonds.
The program will get underway in Lasell
Gym with the basketball game at 7:4.S.
In as much as Dick Cohiian's tall freshman
quintet has already defeated the experi-
enced varsity in practice, the gaini' prom-
ises to be keeidy contested. The absence
of Humby Quintana, who will leave at the
I
' end of exams for the Naval Air Corps, will
deprive the varsity of its sparkplug co-
captain. Sports experts in the Freshman
I Quad generally expect a 1945 triumph.
j Dancing, Other Attractions
After the game, the program will move
into the small gym for dancing, octet
I singing, the awarding of the bonds, and
additional attractions that may become a
part of the program during the next two
weeks. Charles H. Tower '42, president
of the Purple Key which will sponsor the
program, announced last night that the
following committee is assisting him in
making arrangements for the Victory
Night: Herbert Holden, Jr., J. Craig

John T. Tuttle '42, president of the
Williams Flying Club, received a letter
this week that may deal a death blow to
what was last fall one of the most up and
coming extra-curricular organizations on
the campus. Written by John W. Lasell
'20, director of aviation for the State of
Massachusetts, the letter asked Tuttle
why the club's airport should not be shut
down for the (iuration of the war.
Fear Work of Saboteurs
The move to close the South Williams-
town airport is part of a national effort to
curb all possibilities of sabotage from the
air. This means that a guard must be
placed at all fields and that the smaller
ones must be put out of commission unless
the\' can show good reason for sta\ing
open.
To comph with this action Donald H.
Cole, owner of the site upon which the i
dull field is located, was sworn in to the |
police force last week as a spi'cial guard I
f<ir that property. The Bennington air-
port has alread\' been closed.
In answer to Mr. Lasell's question. Club
President Tuttle pointed out that the
lield is a good distance away from defense
factories, and that it serves as a basic
training ground for men entering the army
or naval air corps. However, these two
branches of the armed forces refuse to
recognize training in ships as light as the
type used by club members.
May Be Chance for C. P. T.
Mr. Lasell asked about the possibilities
of a Civilian Pilot Training group being
set up here with the implication that such
a move inight keep the airport open. Two
j'ears ago club ofiicers attempted to get a
C. P. T. branch established at Williams,
but were unsuccessful. Tuttle feels that
since a better field has been acquired this
year the chances of forming a C. P. T.
group are slightb' improved.
The club is also attempting to be taken
into the Air Patrol, a branch of the army
which does aerial photography and spots
obstacles from the air that would show in a
black out. The student flying club at
Smith has already joined this p;itrol.
Mr. Lasell's letter is one more in a seriiw
of blows the fljing club has received since
the United .States entered the war. At
that time club members were grounded as
part of an anti-sabotage precaution. At
present many are still without reinstated
licenses. Club Secretary John Jacobs '43
left college to join the air corps and flying
has been impeded by winter weather.
With one plane dismantled for the winter
season and another in the repair shop, citib
activities are at a U>^.
Because the groUrfd was frozen when
the S. A. G. made a grant of $300 to the
club for intpr4)vemci>t of the field, that
money has not been touched. Construc-
tion of a hangar was halted upon the
completion of the foundation work.
Ill a telegram to James P. Baxter, ,ird
this week a member of the defense savings
staff al Washington stated that Secretaryof
the 'Treasury llenr\' .Morgc'iuluiu, Jr.
wishes to know if Williams has defense
savings stamps on sale on its campus or if
plans for such a sale have been formed.
Professor Walter W. McLaren, chair-
man of the faculty C(niiniittee for the
promotions of liond sales, was delegated
b\- Acting-President Richard A. Newhall
to take action concerning the message and
draw up an answer to it. In view of the
fact that defense stamps are not on sale
here, that no all-inclusive program is in
effect, and that midyear examinations
prohibit the forming of a plan before
answering Secretary Morgenthau's in-
quiry, a telegram signed by Mr. Newhall
simph' stated that "several fraternities
have informal plans in operation" tor the
purchase of bonds and that "the college
would welccmie outlines of the treasury
program to supplement our efforts".

Dean Halfdan Gregersen has issued a
new schedule which provides for an
additional meeting in all courses once
ever\" two weeks, in order to fit the work
of the second semester into twelve instead
of the normal f<iurteen weeks. The new
accelerate<l program will utilize the one
o'clock hour four days each week, and
calls for the beginning of the existing
afternoon schedule one hour later.
As usual the classes meeting on Monday,
Wednesday, and Fridaj' mornings (hours
.•\, B, C, and D) during the first semester
will be shifted to the same hours on 'Tu<'S-
day, Thursday, and Saturday in the second
semester; the E, V, G, and H hours now
meeting on 'Tuesday, 'Thursday, and
.Saturday, will meet on Monday, Wednes-
day, and F'riday. The chart at the end of
this article .shows the new acrelerated
schedule for alternate weeks. Duplicates
of this chart may be procured next week at
the Dean's Office.
Since the regular afternoon schedule
will begin an hour later, there will neces-
sarily be a curtailment of late afternoon
activities, and the Dean's Office feels it
should lie understood that the college
schedule takes precedence over all extra-
curricular activities.

Admiral Jacobs to President Baxter
For llidsr U illiams iiwn wlui an' now laldii^ uctii'c slcps to prepare
ihcmsclrcs for ncrricc in llw nrnird forces of iho i'liiti'd States, the following
letter is printed as a word of eiieoiwn^enwnt. It is especially printed for
those men who have not yet done unythinfi to make themselves physically
and mentally fit to fiflhl for the cause in which ihey have so much al slake.
Niivy l)ci)arliiieiit
IJiirt'iiii of Xiivigation
Wa.shiiigtoii, D. ('.
.laiiuaiy U, 1912
My dear rresidcul Baxter:
It i.s the h<)i)c- of the Navy Dcparliiioiit liiat tlic .stiidoiit.s of all the
universitie.s and collcge-s throughout the country will realize fully the
seriou.siu'.ss of the jjreseiit war and the sacrifice and toil each must make
in order to fashion a total victory from it. ll is further hoped that the
men of the uiuversities will in.stitute among themselves a regime of self-
diseipliiie and conditioning in order to better complete the immediate
job at hand and prepare for the greater tasks to come. It is sincerely
urged that the college officials and faculty members will sujiport and
particijiate in all such programs.
Today, not tomorrow, the youth of America must undertake the most
colos.sal ta.sk and as.sume the most terrible responsilulily of any generation
in history. This, our country, must he defende.l with the last measure of
our strength and I be last ounce of our wealth. Only in democracy and
freedom can mankind exist witli faith in the future and confidence in the
final fruition of the valiant efforts of the past. It is oiu' way of
life, our creed, and onr hope. Democracy has long i)rotected the
rights of individuals and the sacredne.ss of personality. It is now the
duty of each individual, in turn, to protect and ])er|)etuate that onler
which has now iieeii i)laced under (les])crate attack and .seige by totalitar-
ianism. No one can avoid his part in this task, nor retire from his respoiisi-
bilily of American eiliKenshi)).
The ualitm has jia.ssed through an era of .soft living and rampant
individualism. Today as a result, there is a treinendons effort being
made in all the armed forces of the nation to correct the result of this
hjMg period of wasteful existence. The rejection figures for i)hysical
defects released by the Seleclive Service Commission are staggering. The
armed forces are succeeding slowly with Ihe actual training and mental
and physical conditioning of their nieu. While Ibis is being done, oilier
young men of Ihe nation .should be taking lime by the forelock so that Ihe
jol) will be less weighly for the arineil forces when they join Ihe ranks.
The navy has underway a trememloiis ])rograin to make the officers I
and Ihe men of Ihe fleet hardened and physically fit for the fighting job j
confront ing them. Into every naval I raining station pours a cross .section
of American youth. The navy trains llieni with drills, military science
and physical exercise. The Secretary of the Navy has directed that every
provision should be taken to guarantee that American Naval Officers and '
ISluejackets be .second to none in i)hysical fitness.
It iippears, therefore, that the American college students, especially,
.should be keenly conscious of the job in national defen.se that lies just
ahead of them. The nation will put its trust in these students as a natural
reservoir of leadershij), and officer material. They, therefore, .should be
more Ihaii anxious to maintain themselves in the best jdiy.sical condition
l)o.ssible. Theirs is truly a rendezvous with destiny — not in a vague and
shadowy future, but tomorrow. They are |)rci)aring them.selves mentally
for the task ahead and it would .seem inconsistent if this prciiarcdncss did
not inclnde i)liysical and siiiritiial development of a similar rigorousne.ss,
quality and (|uaiitity.
The students of all universities have within their grasp the opportu-
nity to develoi) a ])lan and pattern of self-discipline, physical fitness, and
preparedness for eventual .service in the armed forces of their country,
or as .skilled and hardened workers in civilian defen.se that could serve as a
inotlel and inspiration for all Americans.
The challenge to our university men is at hand. Will they take
the initiative as natural leaders and prepare themselves to "Fight the
good light.'" For it is only by the most strenuous and coiuplcte prepara-
tion on the part of all that we can expect ultimate victory for our way of
life.

WMS has not planned any definite
change in program time or arrangement,
but will distribute work more evenly
among the si tIT so that individuals will not
have to spend too much time working for
the station. Contract difficulties have
occurred here also and prevent limitation
to any large degree.
According to present plans, the Band
will still play for all home games next
football season without going on any trips
with llie team. Since the Band hits a large
supply of music and instruments on hand
at present, there will be no need for added
expenditure.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD. FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1942
THE COLLEGES
AND THE WAR
Editor's note- This column is de-
signed to give the Williams iinder^nntuules
information on the opportunities presented
to college students and the necessary qualifi-
cutions for service in the various branches of
the nation's war program. Additional war
DRINK
information of general interest to the campus
icill appear from time to time. 'I'liK Kkcouu
li'ill publish all such material in this column
for the duration.
The Army Air Corps has anmmnced a
special courst' in Mctt-oroloKy to begin
Marcli 2, 1942 at M. I. T. and N. Y. l'.
Men who enroll in this course will receive
ei^hl months of intensive training as non-
pihit Aviation Cadets.
Seniors' or college graduates' college
credits in mathematics, including diflfer-
ential and integral calculus, and with at
least one \ear of credit in Physics or a
degree in EngiTieering are eligible for
nieleorohjgy training. After completing
their eight months' training, the graduates | throw
of this cimrse will be connuissioned as
Second Lieutenants in the Army Air Corps
Reserve and will go on active duty for the
duration.
Application blanks and complete infor-
mation may be obtained from the com-
mittee on admissions, M. I. '1'., Cambridge,
Mass.
President's office reliable information re-
ceived from the Bureau of Navigaticm of
the Navy DcpartmeiU in Washington
states that juniors in college who are en-
rolled in the V-7 program will positively
not be ordered to active duty during the
summer of 1942. Pnviously there was
some (|uestion as to the |)olicy that the
Navy Department's action might be forced
to pursue under pressure of the stubborn
Japanese naval resistance in the Far East.

vicar, who has had first hami experience

London at war. "For three weeks after
Dunkirk we could have been cont|Ueied as
easily as any country in history," he said.
And though he offered no ilel'inile explana-
tion of why the C.ermans did not take ad-
vantage of their opP"i'tt">'t>'. Mr. Coleman
suggested that the sub.setiuent rapid re-
covery of the English |5cople was the
result of "a spiritual gearing up" in the
face of increased danger. He said that
the Englishman of today does not pre-
sumptuously assert, "God is on our side,"
but rather "humbly hopes and pra>s that
we are on (iod's side."

Wallace Out of Action
Minus the services of starter Bob
Wallace, who this week was placed on
probation, the Purple started off on the
wrong foot and were down three buckets
before Tolles, Williams high scorer for the
game, broke the ice with a set shot. But
Co-Captain Wils Barnes, Quintana, and
Tolles kept the Ephs on the heels of the
Maroon, until near the end of the first half
when the home forces pulled out in front
by seven points, 20-13.
Here the Purple put on the heat to gain
the lead. Tolles countered a pair and
Jack Harter sank another to boost the
Ephs within a point of the Statesmen.
Quintana matched Bokina's follow-up shot
with a solo dribble the length of tlu' court,
and then put the Burnettmen ahead with
a long ringer. Just before the gun, Bokina
hit the nets again to give the Statesmen a
24-23 advantage at intermission.

Acting President Richard A. Newhall
said yesterday that he is not ready to
appoint a standing faculty committee to
meet regularly with the Executive Com-

misunderstanding members of the student
committee had been waiting for Mr.
Newhall to appoint the faculty members
of the joint committee which they pro-
posed several weeks ago.
Although willing to appoint a separate
faculty connnittee each time the under-
graduates wish to discuss a specific prob-
lem, Mr. Newhall objected to the perma-
nent provision of the student proposal.
The Executive Committee includes heads
of the U. C, S. A. C, Garfield Club,
editor of The Rbcohd, and the four class
presidents.
Counter Proposal Made
Mr. Newhall balks at the idea of select-
ing a standing committee from the faculty,
but rather wishes to appoint a different
committee for each problem as it arises.
He pointed out that in this way the
faculty mambcrs most competent to
discuss a particular problem would be
placed in the discussion group. Professor
Newhall also proposed that faculty com-

Ski Events: Stymied by snow that
failed to fall, Williams Winter Carnival
oflicials took matters into their own hands
i Monday and Tuesday afternoons and laid
plans which moved all their skiing events
three hours of driving and ninety miles
north of Williamstown to isolated Wood-
stock, Vt. Here for two days, .Saturday
and Sunday, the Purple skiers will vie for
top honors with seven other colleges — a
number that would have set a record for
competing colleges had they appeared on
Sheep Hill in Williamstown.
The septet of New England college
teams competing over this weekend are
Amherst, Dartmouth, Harvard, Middle-
bury, Norwich, X'ermont, and Williams.
Returning after a year's absence are
Harvard and Vermont while Yale, which
has no official team this year, has been
dropped. The number of men has been
limited to six competitors, coach, and
managers for each team.
Cole Leads Purple
Starring for Williams in this annual
mid-winter ski classic will be Eph ski
captain Phil Cole, Outing Club President
Ralph Ball, Romeyn Everdell, Dick
Finlay, Ken Moore, and Dave Brown.
They will race against time and some of
the Northeast's top-notch slope runners
and jumpers. Testing Purple ability
will be Dartmouth's Bob Meservey who
captured first honors in last year's down-
hill race on the Mt. Greylock Thunderbolt;
Norwich's Alan Beck, langlauf specialist;
Middlebury's Bob Sheehan, a four event
man who specializes in jumping; Amherst's
Bard Benedict who is a consistent four
event man; and Moe Distin, Dartmouth's
first rank jumper who captured top honors
in this year's jumping at the Lake Placid
College week.

Peyton Hurt Dies
In Boston Hospital
Since 1937 He Had Been
Librarian of Williams;
Thirty-Eight Years Old
Dr. Peyton Hurt, librarian of the Stet-
son Library since July, 1937, ended his
life last Friday night at the Baker Mem-
orial Hospital in Boston. In failing health
for two years. Dr. Hurt had been under
medical observation there since Wed-
nesday.
Coming to Williams from the University
of California where he was assistant li-
brarian. Dr. Hurt brought with him an
admirable record not only as a librarian
but as a student of public administration,
political science scientist, and history.
During his early career at Williams he
taught political science, as well as attend-
ing to his manifold duties at the library.
Reorganised Departniental Collections
One of Dr. Hurt's first moves on arri\'al
at Williams was the reorganization and
reclassification of the various depart-
mental collections housed in other build-
ings on campus, but kept under his super-
vision. Two years ago he engineered a
plan calling for the complete reclassifica-
tion of all the volumes in Stetson Hall, a
tremendous project that will last for five
more years.
Dr. Hurt, whose various contributions
to the techniques of library service had
won him wide recognition, was born on
June 11, 1903, in Windsor, Mo. He
received his A. B. from the University of
Idaho in 1926, and his master's degree and
doctorate both from the University of
California in 1929 and 1931, respectively.

"The Education of a Retiring Staff"
Tlio retiring staff of tlic Williams Recoud takes
wilh it more than ils $150 experience in the now almost
legendary liljel affair of last si)ring. It has learned
how to <io things, how not to — Imt it sticks clearly to
the original proposition which were contained in its
editorial last March 1. We said then that we were
deterniined to do what we could to make for "the
inteik'ctua! row hctwecii strong, consecrated men (if
good manners" which was Tyler Dennett's definition
of a good ethieation. We .said tlieii that we were
inclined to agree with what Emerson once said to a
Williamstown audience, that "mankind is as lazy as
it dares to he." We scored the value Williams under-
graduates have placed upon traditional and unpro-
voking platitudes, and we said that whatever Williams
men might expect of The Rkcoud during the coming
year, tliey would get for sure a dose of criticism aimed
at the too jirevalent attitude that the best of all
possihie worlds is a ])lace where the values are ma-
terial, and the virtues defined in terms of apathy,
inefficiency, and "you can't do anything about that
anyway,"
We think we have kept our jiroinisc. Our suggested
proposals for improving Williams fraternities were not
po))ular, perhaps liecau.se we could not .supply the
s])iritual regeneration which is above all necessary to
sustain change. Our long series of articles on the
Williamstown Water Company were appreciated
where they mattered in terms of dollars and cents,
but to many imdergradnatcs who measure their
college exi)erieuce in getting away from Williamstown,
there was not much sen.se in what we were trying to do.
We looked at the whole matter of |)ublic relations, and
found ourselves with understaiulahle .student support,
but found tliat the trustees and administration woidd
still rather have an excci^tionally elaborate theatre or
conspicuous faculty house to a system of ])ublic
relations which couhl open the way for more selective
admi.ssions.
We held the reins for the long months before the
war, and we were holding them when the war came.
And instead of making us less sure of the beliefs we
held, the war helped us to become more entrenched in
pattern.s of thought which had got us in trouble; at
least, which had denied to us the poimlarity we might
have had if our writings had been directed toward
children instead of men on whom the future (U^peiids.
Perhaps we had made the mistake of confusing Wil-
liams midergraduates with .strong men who dared to
think and act, to think and act with a view to the
future and to the things in life that matter,
A year has not brought us to any jiarticularly cheer-
ful conclusion. For it .seems that the trouble which
has been alluded to, and the apparent disagreement be-
tween the campus newspaper and large segments of
the undergraduate body, has not come from any mi.s-
imderslanding. The trouble has come iibstcad in a
(li.sagreemeiit uixin the things, both in life and in
college, which matter. It mattered to us that frater-
nities Were not doing the jobs to which their purposes
and statetl ideals directed them; but then, that was
pcrhajjs becau.se we had found things that mattered
in fraternities which transcended the house party or
the dining room. It mattered to us that the water
rates in William.stown were too high, and that the
conditions of liealth in tlie town might be improved by
lower rates; it mattered because as members of this
community, our concerns were not limited to the four
walls of a dormitory room atid the pencil work of a
four or five-course schedule. And for the same reason
it .seemed only too obvious that we should have done
all we could to cut down the cost of living at Williams
or to develop a pulilic relations .system which would
bring to Williams more men who might contribute as
well as take. It .seemed only loo obvious, in view of
the confusion on all the college maliers related to the
wai — including the question of a winter carnival, that
a healthy government at Williams College calls for
a clo.ser relationship among .students and faculty and
tru.slees.
It mattered to us with all the detcniiination and
honesty we had, and it .still does, but more so because
we are convinced that the wiiming of this war and the
peace that will follow depends upon men with loyalties
and values which tran.scend the material, which trans-
cend the sensory delight of the moment. We could
hardly have expected to come to frequent agreement
with a society in which jia.ssions and loyalties are ruled
by getting out of .something, or getting something
without work. And we certainly should not have been
surprised to find disagreement so often; our culture,
ami the history of America since science and the
industrial revolution took their toll of our democratic
faith and loyalties, indicate only too clearly what has
hapijened on a greater i)lain to our whole society.
It is because Americans in recent years have not
been ruled by any discipline of loyalty or work or faith
that we now find ourselves on the short end of a war
which we can lose. Loyalty, work, and faith — these
things which fired a people in 1776, and which would
have been the e.s.sential foundation for any of the
camiHis improvements we have urged during the past
year — these things have been going down the drain
in America. In exchange we have accepted a kiiul
of individualism which has the right to object to
government, but not the duty to vote or i)articipate;
we have accepted a world in which the values have
moved from the supersensory to the material. And
with it has come all the chaos and all the frustration
and all the trying to get .something without work
which has been dramatized and .symbolized for ns at
Williams in the history of the cutting regulations;
and in the nation, at Pearl Harbor.
The straws we have been holding onto— money,
machines, an unbridled individualism, and everything
these suggest — cannot hold together the body and
soul of man or nation. They have given us the tallest
buildings and the biggest depressions: and they have
given us an Adams Memorial Theatre and I'earl
Harbor. But we .shall not, nor shall we deserve to
survive, if we expect to find strength and .security in
these straws which bend to the force of tyranny. We
shall find our .strength, and our victory, in war and
peace, only in transferring oiu- values from straws to
pillars of loyalty which demand the devotion, the
energy, and the faith of men.
WILLIAMS IN THE WAR
Ensign Samuel L. Root '42 was assis.nmeni editor nf 'I'liE
Kkcoh]) until called to active duty on a destroyer in the Atlantic.
The following excerpts are taken from a letter dated December 28.
I liave just finistie:] reading ttic issues of The Repouu,
bringing me up tlirougli the "War IScgins" issue — and I am
not writing to complain aljout anytiiing. It's just tliat I had
a couple of tilings which I might as well get off my mind
Als.'\ my conscience has bothered me a bit about \Miting you
a piece of filler or something of "VVms. in the War." But my
conscience is as far as that ever tra\-ek'd. What ideas I have
had run along the same lines as Maclay's. I know that I am
far more aware of what wc are fighting for than the average
ensign two or three years out of Annapolis or than many reserve
officers.
The older officers are cognizant (1 just heard that word over
the radio) of the war aims, but it shows what a liberal education
does toward giving us a head start. It is very true that while
wc arc out here we sometimes wonder what will be the final good
nf it all, yet in the long run, we don't do enough thinking about
it, nor are wc in a position to do much about the post-war
situation.
It will be mainly up to the people who are running things, —
Ihe people at home — supported by all of us, to work toward a
better, fairer |)eace than wc have had previously. What I am
trjing to say is that the men who are fighting aren't going to
«orry about the peace, so let's hope that Williams and every
other place of teaching and learning will spend every effort to
eilucate people at home to work for a post-war union of the de-
mocracies, etc.
The college and the professors will remain there, where it and
then can exert an influence on the people and their represent-
atives. It's a big job, but one for all colleges, their papers (and
I'm glad to say 1 think The f^Ecouo has always done what it
couhl in this line), and their students to work.
I'm afraid all this is very confusing and illogical; I never was
much on expounding ideas. I would have written a few facts
if allowed, tiut even they would be uninteresting in the face of
what is happening in the Pacific. Actually, all I have been
doing is learning what sea life is like, particularly in .stormy
weatlier.
I guess this whole letter has lieconic a mess, but that's partly
due to a blaring radio, piles of workmen around here, an inter-
vening argument on the merits of getting married now — I took
the negative — , and other disturbances. Anyway, please give
my regards to the fellows on the board, and to the others in
our class.
Sincerely yours, Sam Root

PARAGRAPHS
IN THE NEWS
Amherst has adopted an optional,
accelerated war curriculum which will
enable the class of 1945 to graduate in
May, 1944 At the same time it was an-
nounced that freshmen entering this June
might complete their requirements by
I'c'bruary, 1945.
President Conant of Harvard announced
lluit the University would not give any
honorary war degrees, at least until the
completion of the war. Harvard is now
giving special certificates to all those
wJio leave the college in good standing.
Vale will soon be offering to twenty-five
iipperclassmen a course in Japanese.
Because of the limitless number of symbols

ings will be used to familiarize the students
with the language.
King Husky II, a three-months old
Siberian pup, was recently presented to
Northeastern as a successor to their
mascot who died last July.
At Bowdoin, the elimination of the
spring recess has caused the cancellation
<il several Glee Club concerts planned for
I hat time. This week, Ohio State Uni-
'. rrsity announced that their spring base-
li.ill trip would be cancelled because of the
war. Since the tour was usually made by
automobile, the authorities decided to
s.ive tires and gasoline.
After a campus-wide poll, Smith made
a definite decision to hold its annual
Spring Dance, probably on March 14.
rill' Junior Prom, howcvei, is still un-
certain.
Announcement that freshmen would be
eligible for varsity athletics at Harvard
next September was disclaimed by the
administration there last week. Had the
story, which originated in the Harvard
Crimson and which was printed in the
Metropolitan press, been true, it would
have violated the Presidents' Agreement
signed by the heads of the Big Three in
1939. This Agieement stated that simul-
taneous and cooperative action would be
taken by the three institutions on all
matters of eligibility.

Ideas by Tower
The idea was conceived by Charles H.
Tower, '42, the president of Purple Key,
and was sanctioned by the Undergraduate
Council. Arrangements for the program
have been in the hands of a Purple Key
committee, headed by Tower, with James
H. Goodwin, J. Craig Huff, and George
Hussey, Jr., '42, Thomas S. Keirnan, and
Ward L. Johnson, '43. This committee
deliberately decided to scale the admission
price low, and it has been fixed at 55 cents
a person, which includes an equal chance
on the defense bonds.
Designed to replace the extravagant
programs of other years, with an economic,
as well as patriotic program. Victory Night
is attuned to the times. Tower has ex-
pressed the hope that attendance at the
dance will be large enough to give away
six of the $25 bonds.

Letter to Editors
To the Editor of The Williams Rbcoiid:
Now that the academic "speed up" has
begun, additional ways of cooperating
with the nation's war effort will be sug-
gested. There is a tendency to adopt
hastily all such suggestions because it
seems the patriotic thing to do. One
reads in The Record that "Organizations
Limit Scope of Activities for the Dura-
tion." Cap and Bells has changed its
plans. Some would like to do away with
the campus lecture series. Should there
be a .Spring Conference? One hears de-
mands for "cutting down," limiting the
scope," "temporarily suspending," or
"reducing" the peace time activities of
the Williams campus.
I suggest that every proposed curtail-
ment be met with two questions: (1) will
it help as win the war? (2) will it help us
win the peace? Several curtailments al-
ready planned do neither. For example,
eliminating trips for Glee Club and De-
bating Team. Buy Defense stamps with
the money saved? A good thing. But
good also is lyric and forensic expression,
and whatever encourages interest in them.
In a conscientious effort to get away from
"business as usual," we run the risk of
forgetting that the "business as usual"
of the liberal arts college is the concentrat-
ed fostering of the very values we are
determined shall pievail in the peace to
come. Hence every curtailment of the
normal business of Williams College helps
dry up one of the well-springs of freedom.
Perhaps this is big language to use about a
Glee Club concert. But where draw the
line? Does anyone suppose that class
recitations and assigned readings are the
least dispensable parts of a liberal educa-
tion? Educators underestimate the im-
portance of beer and bulling. (American
educators, — not English!) To enjoy a
subjective sense of virtue by sacrificing
an alleged luxury may turn out to be a
self-defeating gesture on the part of a
liberal arts college in a democracy.
The liberal and humane tradition consti-
tutes the marrow of democracy's strength
in war as in peace. Therefore we should
combat every misguided effort to curtail
any activity that serves to express, in
however modest fashion, the meaning of
that tradition.
Lawrence W. Beals
The problem posed by Mr. Beals should de-
mand serious study in faculty circles— for
it ii ihere that decisions affecting the under-
graduates are made these days. Under-
graduates could hardly be expected to carry
the full extracurricular program of the past
with the extra-class schedules which begin
today, even if "every curtailment of the
normal business of Williams College ludps
dry up one of the well-springs of freedom."
This is one of the many problems which
confront the whole college community in
wartime — and that is why it is particularly
distressing to find Mr. Newaall in a story
on page one saying that he will not appoint
a faculty committee to meet regularly to
discuss these and other matters with under-
graduates. The Editors.
PEYTON HURT
(Continued from page 1)
In 1933 he was graduated from the Uni-
versity of California School of Librarian-
ship.
Guest Scholar at Brookings Institute
From 1928 to 1930 he served as a teach-
ing assistant in political science at Cali-
fornia and in 1930-1931 was a university
fellow there. In 1931-1932 he was a guest
scholar at Brookings Institute in Washing-
ton, D. C, and in 1932-1933 he held the
American Library Association's fellowship.
From 1933 until he was called to Williams
he was instructor in the library school at
Berkeley and during 1934-1937 also acted
as assistant librarian at the university
library.
Norton Advises Houses
To Pay New Food Tax
Excise Official Expects
Change in Ruling Soon
Present rulings and discussion in the
special session of the Massachusetts
legislature leave Williams fraternity treas-
urers up in the air as to future policy
regarding the Massachusetts Old Age
Tax which proviiles for a fivi^ per cent
levy on all food served at public eating
houses.
In an elTort to aid the sixteen social
groups, Irving T. Norton, of the state tax
office, Springfield, representing Tax Com-
missioner Henry F. Long, has visited
Williamstown twice with conflicting re-
ports regarding the fraternities' status as
a public eating house, and predicted that
a new ruling would be made in the near
future.
Reverses Pre-Exam Decision
Norton conferred with undergraduate
treasurers before the midyear examina-
tion period, and at that time advised that
the fraternities could evade the tax by
charging each month for a credit deposit
instead of a board item. Yesterday
Norton stated that Commissioner Long
had reversed the decision and said the
tax would hold good for fraternities.
Norton advised the houses to comply
with the new ruling and to pay the tax,
but said that he expects the decision to
change in favor of the fraternities in the
near future.

After a two-week layoff, Coach Dale

guns tomorrow e\'eniu(; when tliey trade
shots with Dick Coleman's razzle-dazzle
yearling five in Lascll Ciym. Booked as
the opening e\-ent on tlie X'ictory Night
prognini. the tilt will supply the answer to
claims from the Freshman Quad that
their stpiad is superior to the varsity.
Experience pitted against height will be
the watchword in the patriotic encounter.
The varsity will start four lettermen and a
sophomore, already \'eterans of nine en-
counters this season, in their attempt to
knock the wind out of the yearling sails.
The freshnien will be no easy match, for
their defense towers well over the varsity
attackers.
Sparkplug at Sea
Minus the services of their co-captain
and sparkplug, Huniby Ouintana, who hrs
joined the naval air forces, the varsity will
floor a revamped lineup. The play of
Don Lindsay, last year's freshman leader,
will probably give him the nod for Quin-
tana's berth, although sophomores John
liridgewatcr and Monk .Stanley cannot be
counted out of the running. If Lindsay
starts, Captain W'ils Harnes will be shifted
to a guard slot, leaving one of the pivot
posts for Lindsay.
High scoring Jack Ilarter, still handi-
capped by a sprained thumb, will play the
other |iivot position. Roy Tolles, high

round out the quinUt.

Holmes Joins Foreign
Service of Red Cross
Placement Director Is
Out for the Duration
"I'm in the army now", writes Edwin
Holmes '23, Director of the Williams
Placement Bureau, on assuming his new
post as Field Director in the American
Red Cross, Division of Foreign Service.
Director of the Placement Bureau since
its founding in March of 1940, Mr. Holmes
recently enlisted in the Red Cross and
reported in Washington on January 23rd:
he expects to leave Washington at any
time for a short stay in one of the eastern
army camps, after this — destination un-
known.
Mr. Holmes stepped into the job of
Director of the Placement Bureau from
that of personnel manager in the Western
Union Co. The administration of the
college and the alumni societN' had decided
to employ a Williams graduate trained
in personnel work as a full-time director of
this activity, Edwin Holmes was the man
for the job.
At its inception the Placement Bureau
was designed to give vocational guidance
to the undergraduates, make contacts with
personnel men and place graduates, and
act as a placement service for all members
of the alunmi. Since this beginning the
bureau has also actively engaged in finding
summer employment for undergraduates
and recently taken on added importance
as a dispensary for military informatiim
and information pertaining to the Civil
Service.
Since Mr. Holmes will be absent "for
the duration". Miss Helen Crowley, his
secretary, will carry on the work of the
bureau. Personnel representatives from
the W. R. Grace Co., Proctor and Gamble,
and Sliell Dil are slated to appear on the
campus in I he near future.

be given in case students are called before
finishing college.
The training will consist of a course of
instruction of approximately three months

wegian trained jumper, also won the classic
combined at Sun Valley this year. Wil-
liams men will race against Jack Tobin of
Dartmouth who is the holder of the down-
hill record on Suicide Six at Woodstock.
He made the run in 33 .seconds.
Slalona Compatition StiS
Aspirants for first place in the slalom
race will find stiff competition in Ira
Townsend of Middlebury who came in
first in the Williams carnival last year.
Opposition in this department will be
offered by Harvard's Bert Ames who was
a four event star at Exeter.
The schedule of events calls for the
langlauf to be held at Woodstock this
Friday at 2:30. Saturday's events m-
clude the slalom and the downhill which
will begin at 9 and 11 A. M. respectively
on the famous Suicide Six. The jumping
contest is scheduled for Sunday at 2:30 on
the Dartmouth hill at Hanover N. H.
Prizes will be awarded to individuals for
the first three places in each event, and a
team trophy will be given to the winning
team. Competitors and officials will be
guests at an, as yet, undetermined place
at 7:00 p. m. this Saturday.
FACULTY- STUDENT
(Continued from page 1)
mittee members be advised beforehand of
the problem under consideration in order
that they may have an opportunity to
form an opinion about the matter.
On the other hand, the Executive Com-
mittee's reasons for proposing a permanent
joint committee are (1) the advantages of
having a standing clearing house for under-
graduate and facility ideas and proposals
relati'd to Williams during the war; (2)
the wisdom of using a permanent under-
graduate body, such as already exists in
the E.xecutive Committee, in conjunction
with a permanent faculty body; (3) the
advantage of dispelling undergraduate
dissatisfaction and needless confusion
which arises when faculty decisions are
made without considering the views of the
student body.
Discussions On Isolated Questions
Mr. Newhall's revamped plan which
would make faculty-student consultation
contingent upon a specific undergraduate
demand for a meeting on a specific matter
ignores the basic motives behind the under-
gra<luate plea, which placed emphasis on
the regularity with which the joint com-
mittees would meet.
One member of the Executive Com-
mittee pointed to the conflict arising over
the Winter Carnival as a reasnn lor making
the committee permanent. He pointed
out that the college did not know until late
December that in spite of the war, the
skiing aspects of the Carnival were to be
held, and that the undergraduates got the
mistaken impression that the college was
responsible for the abolition of the social
aspects of the Carnival.
Fraternity Dance Approved
Moreover, Mr. Newhall gave his ap-
proval to a private fraternity dance, the
student said, Ihus opening up the possi-
bililN' of a half ilozen or more private
dances which would have been more costly
than the usual Winter Carnival dances.
According to the opinion of this under-
graduate, all this confusion would have
been avoided if the matter had beim
discussed as a routine matter of the pro-
posed joini facult\-stii<lenl group.

Kept off the ice for the past two urcks

^Cow/'Sketch'Plan
Joint Publication
For the Duration
'Gul' Speeds Copy and
Photographs for April
Deadline on Yearbook
Plans for tin- proposed mcri^er of the
I'lirple Cow and Sketch maKazinus, are
pciidinK on the nieethij; iif the Boards of
I lie two orf!ani/ations Monday.
Donald Booz '42, aclhiK-Editor of
Skelcli, expressed the desire to form a
, nllej,'i- humor nuiKazine patterned on the
Sew Yorker, with hoth Sketch and Cow
Hoards contributinj; and working as a
|,iinl board. Under this plan, the nia(;a-
/iiie would be published once a month and
ntain the name Purple Qrw, with Sketch,
a newcomer to the campus in 1935, losing
Its identity for the duration.
Booz Urges Combination
The 1942 Board of Sketch will continue
1.1 head the organization for two more
1-sues, when the 1943 Board takes over.
Brewster Chapman '42, acting-liditor
,1 the I'lirple Cmi\ declared that the details
.it a possible merger would Ix' ironed out
ill Monday's meeting, but that some sort
,.l combination would be adopted with a
joint board consisting of the two '43
Boards. Chapman added that the ditfi-
iiilties in advertising conflicts which such
,1 merger would produce were at a mini-
mum, as the Sketch's coverage of local
.iilvertising, would interlock with the
I'mSs national advertising, and give it
himiu'ial stabilil>'.
Co-ordination of Talents Necessary
lioth men stressed that the success of
tile venture would depend on the abilit\'
of the two Boards to co-ordinate their
talents into a magazine containing ma-
in iai similar to the A^ew Yorker.
Malcolm Clark '43, Editor of the Gul-
imensian, announced this week, thai dui' to
the year book's coming out April 20, the
Hoard is elTecting a drastic speeding up of
the deadline for all copy and photographs.
Literary material is due on February 21,
H-ilh t'"' majority of it expected by
. .i,,,..ii\ 1. ,^'
Plioto Deadline Tuesday
i)\er this weekend, the last photographs
«ill be taken and Clark stressetl the
importance of everyone getting to his
M-licduled picture promptly, so that the
|)liotographic work can be completed by
iu\t Tuesday. The faculty pages will
I .irr\- at least one informal cut each, with
.i\\ organization pictures alwo being
informal.
Chief headache of the present Board is
the recruiting of the 1945 Board. Only
Mile competition has been held and but
three members .selected. Clark declared
thai Editor-elect, Frank VVozencraft '44,
will have to inaugurate a new s\slem by
liiililing a sophomore competition for 1945
during the summer term.
Naval Supply Corps
The President's Oflice has been in-
I'liiiied by the Navy Department that the
I' ipiirements for appointment to the
Naval Supply Corps have been altered.
Whereas only majors in Economics or
business Administration were eligible
pieviimsly under the new program any
< "liege graduate below the age of twenty-
-i\ with at least 12-20 vision can make
.ipplication. The whole quota for the
I nited States in the Supply Corps is 350.
Relay Team Invited
To Millrose Games
Coach Plansky's mile relay team speeded
up workimls this week, as the Millrose
Games Connnittee tendered it an invita-
tion to compete in the Games on Februar\'
7. With the meet ten da\s awaj', the
first team of Chapman, Peck, Heppes,
and Hunsdorfer began to .shape up in the
time trials held last week. Peck running
a 53.6 (piarter on the difficult outdoor
track.
Trips Limited
Due to the official college policy of
curtailing the expenses of athletic trips,
the team has been limited to three meets
this year. With plans tdready settled for
the Andover Meet on February 14 at
Andover, Massachusetts, only one more
meet can be scheduled.
The choices of a final meet ha\'e been
narrowed down to either the 1.C.4-A
Meet in Madison Square Garden, or the
Boston Garden Meet on f'ebruarv 20.
The I.C.4-A Meet would be individual
competition for the specialists on the team,
while the Boston Garden Meet would be
for the mile relay team.
RESIGNATIONS

commission before entering the actual
service. ,
Two seniors, Putnam Schroeder and
ClifTord C. Tippit have resigned to take
meteorology courses at N. \. V. and
M. 1. T. respectively. Three other men
from the same class are now at Harvard
Business School taking a course in indus-
trial management. 'They are: Edward
E. James, Robert A. X'anderbilt, and John
M. Wolf who bring thi' seniors' delegation
i for natiomd defense in this latest group to
leave up to eleven men, almost two thirds
of the total number of man who have left
during the last two weeks. Bruce F.
Brown's leaving for a defense job gives
the juniors two representatives. 1944
has the same nuntber while 1945 has one
man.
Juniors Apply
Of the undergraduates who applied for
the prereipiisiled for the \'-7 plan from the
Dean's ollice eighteen are seniors and
thirty-three are juniors. 'These men will
be allowed to linish their senior year and
then will be trained prior to receiving
their commissions. 'Those seniors already
sworn into this branch of the Navy when
'Thk Kecoud went to press are John
Boylston, 'Theodore F. Carter, Jack K.
(heenland, Robert E. Hughes, Paul R.
Lawrence, Jr., Richard S. Stewart, and
Alexander M. Swain, Jr.
Juniors who havi' already sworn in are
Frederick R. Barnes, John Birnie, Ren-
wick E. Case, Bryant W. Dennison,
Francis E. Dolan, John C. Fuller, Gordon
T. Getsinger, Theodore L. HalT, Bruce B.
Lanier, Richard K. Means, Henry M.
Oliver, Jr., H. Tom Rogers, Merwin A.
SheketofT, and Paul G. Smith.
Williams courses leading to commissions
in the Coast Guard and the Navy will be
working at a capacity. Fifty men have
been taken into the mathematics classes
that are designed to fulfill mathematics
requirements for these two branches of the
service. Math Ic has been divided into
two sections of eighteen each while Math
2c will have fourteen men.
Of the lifty-tvvo applicants for Astron-
omy 4-x oidy twenty-two were accepted.
Essentially a course in navigation and
seamanship, this class will hold two hour
laboratories. When this is done, class
recitations will be proportionately cut
down.
Perry's Class Improves
Students' Reading Rate
Comprehensive Abilities
Increase with Speed
Thirty- live freshmen and sophomores
have improved their average reading speed
sixty-one per cent, or 130 words per
minute, through a voluntary reading
course conducted last semester by William
G. Perry, assistant to the Dean. Statis-
tics compiled after the completion of the
five-week couise on January 12, show that
at this new rate of reading the average
stude;it's quality of comi)rehensioii in-
creaseil seven per cent while the number of
correct answers he could give in a fixed
time on a test of reading-studying ability
ruse iift>'-fi\-e per cent.
Students Save 15 Hours
On a speed test given last September the
average student in this section ranked in
the lower fifteen per cent of the freshman
class. If he had read at his iire.sent speed
he would have ranked in the top ten per
cent. 'The value of this gain is shown by
the h\A that if a student were to ajjply but
half of it to his regular study he woulit get
back the time invested in the class in less
than two weeks.
-Mr. Perry pointed out that the average
student probably saved the entire fifteen
hours before the end of the course itself.
He went on to say that students ttiking
the class under the accelerated program
will still be greatly benefited and that the
loss in time is only an apparent one.
Curriculum Reading Used
.•\s part of the regular jirogram the
students receivcvl instruction in the iippii-
cation of reading skills to assignments in

SUMMER SESSION
(Coiltiiuicd from pant- lOj
to enroll for the summer term. Admission
reipiirements are the same as ha\e been in
effect during the past five years.
Ereshmen entering college in June will
come to Williamstown for their testing and
orientation program on June 24, and those
entering in the fall will be similarly re-
quested to appear seveial days in advance
of the opening of classes. According to
Frank R. Thoms '.W a "specd-U|)" rushing
period is being tentatively planned for the
preliminary orientation days in both June
and October.
The academic acceleration pr:)gnim aiul
the additiDnal .Summer term are designed
to allow students to secure their full college
education in three years rtither thtm four
in order to release theni for service in the
war effort at an earlier date.
In a sttitement for 'Tmk Kkcoii» out-
lining the flexibility of the new program
.'\cting President Kichnrd A. Newhall
emphasize<l the college's willingness to
cooperate in making arrangements for any
particular situation. Under certtiiii con-
ditions students will he ])ermitted to take
se\'en chisses per week in one subject in
order to complete a year's course in one
semester. Many seniors will pursue this
policy next semester, taking Math lb and
-Math 2b simultaneously in order to <|U'jlify
for the Naval \'-7 training course.
College Grants Winch
Semester's Absence
Ralph 1'. Winch, assistant professor of
physics atid secretary of the faculty, has
been granted a leave of absence for the
second semester to enable him to assume
new tetichiiig duties at Princeton Univers-
ity, it was announced toilay.
Mr. Winch will act in the capacity of
visiting assisttmt professor of physics at
Princeton, where he will relieve two or
more of their present stall for duties in
connection with the gitint war research
|)rogram now being sponsored by the
government at the New Jersey I'niversity.
Three visiting professors have tilready
filled in for men who had prexiously de-
\'oted htdf their time to teachitig duties
and half to work on the new program, Mr.
Winch said yesterday.
"More than half their men are working
on that project," .Mr. Winch said, "and
they need men to take over the regular
classes. 'The di'partment here is taking
over the extra load until 1 return some time

Cultivation Difficulties
Attributed to Nitrate,

Thi' Htrksliiri' County Anciit. lo^iil
ri-pri-sciitativi' of the Di'partnu'Ht of
AuricuUurc-, lias clashed cold water on
Acting lVesi<lent Richard A. Newhall's
tentative phms for a Willlamstown Com-
munity War Kami.
In a conference witli Mr. N'ewhall the
county agent indicated that it is not tlie
go\'<'rninent's polic\' to encourage new
ilgricullural enterprises at this time. He
pointed out that Washington agricultural
officials feel that maxinui.n pro<luctive
efficiency can be l^etter assured by exteiul-
ing land already under cultivation l)y
tx'nipetent fanners rather th;ui by develop-
ing new tracts of virgin soil. I le expressed
scepticism as to the competence and effi-
ciency of a group of "amateur" student
farmers.
Other inipediinents to the local agri-
cultural venture are difficulties in ob-
taining fertilizer and farming implements
due to government nitrate and steel
priorities. Another factor working against
the establishment of a Willlamstown
"colU'Ctive" is the rtvord of War Farm
failures of World War 1.
Other Opportunities Open
In his conference with President New-
hall the County Agent emphasized, how-
ever, that opixirtuiuties for undergraduate
agricultural comimmity service during the
ciilk'ge summer sessi.in are still open. A
survey is being conducted currently to
determine the exti'Ut of Herkshire farm
labor shortages brought on by the denumds
of the nation's armed forces.
According to Albert \'. Osterhout,
Executive Secretary of the Student .'\id
Committee, it may be possible to employ

pooled in this "appreciabh' liquid form".
The other 83000 came directly from
S. A. C. funds and is a result of the fact
that extra-curricular budgets have been
curtailed, in this way making a surplus
over the original cushion account.
Bonds of Series F
I'be bonds purchased were of Series I'"
which enables the purchasing group to
exceed the S5,0()0 personal limit placed on
the usual bond of series 1'.. The latter
type is the one purchased b\ Williams
students. Bonds of series F hear a greater
maturity value over a long period of time
than those of series E. However, during
a shorter period the latter give a greater
percentage return. Based on their matur-
ity value twelve years hence, the purchase
was made in the following allotments: one
$.S,0()0 bond, one 81,000 bonds, and eight
$100 ones.
The original idea behind this move to
utilize what were apparently idle funds,
was introduced by the executive com-
mittee of the S. A. C. A committee com-
posed of \incent M. Barnett, Jr., instruc-
tor in political science. Jack K. Greenland
and David K. Peet, Jr. '42 was appointed
to make the actual purchase at the

'I'd Ihe Editors nf Tiik Kkicuu):
• We wish fj raise a few ([uestions con-
cerning the I'ndergraduate Council and
its functions. T'o (|Uote the College
catalogue for November, I'Ml: "The
fimetion of the Council is to legislate and
enforce regul.itions pertaining to cxtta-
(nirricular activities which are within the
control of the uiuUTgradn;ites acting
collectively. Us duties als) include con-
trol over fraternity ru.shing, student
petitions for undergraduate agencies,
houscparties, and various other jobs of a
less important nature."
The impetus which caused the under-
signed to write this letter was the recent
car ban enacted by the Council. We do
not object to the ends obtained; namely,
conservation of tires, but we do obiect
to the means b\- which it was obtained.
Upon the surface this appears to be a
trivial criticism and mere quibbling, l)iit
we feel that closer inspection of the matter
will prove contrary. Referring to the
above quote from the catalogue we fail
to see that the ban has lieeii legally en-
acted, and feel that the Council over-
stepped the duties of its oflice.
W'e assume, and should like clarification
if our assumption is wr.ing, that the
Council represents the students and that it
is not a legislative arm of the college
authorities, and that it is not connected
to the latter in any way. The inter- 1
mediary group between the students and I
the college authorities appears to be the
l^xecutive Committee, and not the
Council. To cpiote from the catalogue:
"The powers of the Commiitee are
to .let as an intermediary between the
undergraduates and the administration."
The above seems to bear out our point
th.it the Council is not connected with the
administration.
With this in mind we feel that there are
some inconsistencies concerning the car
ban, and present the following reasoning.
In order to get driving permission the
student must obtain a permit from the
Dean. The permission to dri\e in \Vil-
liamstown has lieen suspeiuled by the
Council. As yet no word has come from
the Dean's Oftice that the permits issued
by that office have been (pialified con-
cerning driving in the town or revoked.
The permit reads: "A B is per-
mitted, so far as the authority of the
College is concerned, to oper.ite a motor
vehicle until June, l')42. (This permit
may be levoked at any time)." It would
appear that the driving permission is still
in effect until the Dean takes action. If
the Council had the sanction of the Dean's
OlTice in enacting the ban, we feel the
existence of the Council is meaningless,
as the same could have been accomplished
by the administration.
Therefm-e we h,i\e felt that a clarifica-
tion of the functions :ind powers of the
Couiici' is pertinent. W'e assumed that
it is to represent the student body. If
that is the case, are the members obligated
to vote according to their own opinions or
iiceording to the feeling of the social unit
which the>' represent? Do the powers
delegated to the Council come from the
student body with the permission of the
administration or do the powers come
directly from the administration? If the
lattei is so we feel, as we mentioned above,
that the existence of the Council is of no
importance. We therefore suggest that
the Constitution of the Council be printed
in PiiK Rkcoiu), and that the incon-
sistencies which we ha\e pointed out be
explained.
We should like further to question the
basis lor the car ban in Williamstown.
.»\t the beginning of the letter we ste.teil
that it would be foolish to drive in th.
town, but is it up to the Council to decide
our own minds on this matter? We feel
that driving is :i (piestiini th;it should be
answered by the individual's own con-
science. The Naticnial Ciovcrnment h:'s
urged conservition, i'.nd it is to the benefit
of the Individual to comply with this.
As patriotic citizens, we wish to conform
with the desires of our government, and
none of the undersigned intend or wish to
be wasteful, but we feel the Council did
not haxe the proper authority to enact the
ban. The Council should regukite us es
students, and not as citizens.
In conclusion we restate that we do nci
object to the ends, namely, conservation
as such, but that we do object to the
means, namely, the Council's legislatijn.
We feel that this tpiestijn touches upon
the fundamental basis of the Council, and
hope that a statement of clirification from
the Council will be forthc.nning.

One Ihoiisancl years ago ihe Chinese had discovered gun-
powder, had invented and learned to use the mariner's compass,
and were actually printing hooks. .. Incredible? Not more so,
certainly, than the fact that they used GAS for lighting purposes
more than .500 years before the discovery of America. However,
It remained for Europe — where gas first was heard of in the 17th
century — to lay the groundwork for a mighty new industry, in-
dispensable to the welfare and progress of mankind.
During the last 50 years, particularly, gas service has made
tremendous strides and, today, millions of American families
depend upon it to lighten housekeeping cares — including cook-
ing, water heating, refrigeration and house heating. In industry
Its uses arc many and varied. How the ancient Chinese would
wonder at our ingenious applications of GAS. . something ihey
actually discovered, but never fully used.

qninlet tomorrow night at 8:.30 on the
l.asi'll court when they go in cpiest of their
initial Little Three triumph of the season
ami their third straight victory over the
Wesmen.
With nine contests and Saturday's
, iii;agenient with the freshmen already
miller their belts, the veteran Eph cpiintet
rules as a slight favorite in the renewal of
I his series. With not a single senior on
their sc|Uad, and lacking the services (jf

relied mainly on a nucleus of sophomores

Jiihiison, newly elected captain.
Shifting his line-up throiigluuii the

Locke Opposes Letting;
Frosh Play on Varsity
'Unnecessary Until Size
of College Decreases'
Dr. lulwin A. Locke, director of healtii
■ nul athletics, this week declared that for
I In- present there would lie no possibility
■'f allowing freshmen to compete on varsity
.itliletic teams. The time may come,
however, when the size of the college is
diminished and this move will become a
necessity, Dr. Locke asserted.
Last year 72 .3 per cent of the class of
l'M4 competed in at least one inter-
collegiate sport, the athletic director
slated. "Because freshman teams give
die desired training and discipline to such
•1 large percentage of that class, only a
^niall percentage of whom would ever go
out for a varsity sport, it is essential that
die college keep these teams as long as the
si/e of the .student body permits," he said,
lie emphasized that the best way to train
undergraduates is by sports teams and not
li>' calisthenics and physical training.
Only Two Years on Varsity
I )r Locke realized that this would give
stutlents only two years of varsity com-
lietition, but he added that there was no
reason why the athletic program should
not be telescoped just as the scholastic and
extra-curricular activities had been.
Purtlierniore, Dr. Locke pointed out
diat a freshman coming to college should
have time to orient himself, and that
placing hiiTi on a varsity squad right away
might even have "demoralizing effects"
upon his scholastic work. Allowing fresh-
men to play on varsity teams would also
Hive predominance to certain selected men
who had football talents to the detriment
of others, he said.
AlvinE. Duerr '93 To

in Jesup Hall Sunday)
Presented by the Gargoyle Societ\',
Alvin E. Duerr '93, will speak in Jesup
Hall Sunday night. His topic, as an-
nounced by Robert B. Swain, Jr. '42,
president of the organization, will be
"Fraternities I'ace a Crisis."
Mr. Duerr is a recognized authority on
the fraternity problem having been for
many years a member of the National
Interfraternity Council and for two years
its president. Since 1927, he has also been
the editor of the Annual Survey of Scholar-
ship of College I'raternities. He has
written several articles for periodicals on
the subject, "The Place and Opportunity
of the Fraternity in the Educational
Scheme", and is connected with the move-
ment to bring the social units closer to the
curricular aspects of college life.
De Gaullist Aiglon
Flays Appeasement
Defends Seizure of St.
Pierre, Miquelon; Says
Fleet Will Never Yield
Dedaullist Kaiiul .'\iglon struck another
blow for a Krei- I'rance last night when he
deflated the American State DepartnuMit's
delicate excuses for appeasing Vichy.
.Mglon emphasized the dedication to the
task of breaking the fascist \"oke of Free
Frenchmen liolh outside and inside of
occupied France. He declared that resis-
taiiei' ami sabotage under I he direction of
student leaders within France was a very
serious iiroblem for the Nazis. "Ninety-
eight percent ol I'rance support the hreei
French movement," he asserl<'d, "and the]
spirit of the pi'ii|ile will nni lie liroken."
Talks on Vichy- Washington Relations
It was not until the iiuestion period that
-Aiglon approached the delicate topic of
Wasliington-\'icli\' relations. He indi-
caled thai the .Slate Department had no
sound basis for protesting the F'rei' French 1
occupation of the islands of .St. Pierre and
.Miquelon. The |)roteBt w.'is explained '
otlicially as a move to prevent full \icliy
collaboration with the A.xis and as an
inducement to Pelain to r<'tain his hold on
the French fleet. I
.^iglon feels that the threat of seizure of
the French fleet which Hitler dangles over '
W'ashington-X'ieliy iliploniacN' through his
puppet Petain is .in I'liipty one. He de- '

I raditionally conservative Williams fra-
ternities are reserved in their general
appnival of the Campus liusiness Manage-
ment plan, a Ri.;coRn poll of ofticials of
fourteen of the sixteen social groups
indicated yesterday.
.Six of fourteen fraternity presidents and
treasurers interviewed believed that their
hcnises would enter the management plan
which calls for the approval of at least
twelve social groups. Only one felt his
house would not enter, two were extremely
dubious, and five declined to comment
until they received the views of their
alumni.

it's very g<iod. I'm sure we would go into
such a plan, especially in \iew of the
present war conditions."
Beta Theta Pi— X'ice-President John
Ho\lstoii: "If, when all the facts and
ligures are in, the cooperative plan gives
indications of saving money, we'll go in,
but it seems that the amount to be paid for
the plan will put an awful burden on the
houses. In m>' opinion it'll be a close bet,
but we'll go in."
Chi Psi— President Herbert Holdi-n,
|r.; "I think we'll del'inilely go in on the
plan, but before I'd give linal approval
I'd want to know what provisions were to
be made for the purchase, allotnu'nl, and
c|ualit\' of Ihe food."
Delta Kappa Epsilon — President Bur-
ton v.. McCami: "As far as I'm concerned
I think it's a good idea, and I believe the
house will probably be in on il."
Delta Phi— President George P.
Heppes, Jr.: "We will have to consult our
alumni before we can say anything
definite, but in m\' opinion, although it is
a giKMl plan for the future, it lacks ex-ideiice
of ininu'diate savings."

"Will personnel representatives see us
if our military status is indefinite; will
personnel men see us if we are going into
the service immediately upon graduation?"
— such are the oft-received (pieries at the
W'illiams Placement Bureau. In answer
to these tpiestions the bureau offers infor-
mation obtained through correspondence
with the various visiting per.sonnel men.
In the lirst place, many of the companies
are interested in interviewing seniors and
placing them right after graduation even
if onl>- a few months are open before the
man enters the military service. Some
personnel men are also interested in those
whose military status can be classified as
indefinite — those who may be available
for a period of time, regartlless of its
length. In addition others specify a
definite training period for which the
prospective employee shouki be available.
Companies Still Want College Man
Finally, a few organizations want to
have interviews with the students, whether
or not they are slated for immediate mili-
tary duty; thus making the contact
through which the graduate may apply
for employment after the war.

PREAMBLE
Publishing weekly on a wartime .schedule for the next two .semesters,
the editors and managers of 1913 who today launch The Recoud on its
thirly-.seventh year will attcnii)t to help Williams College serve a con-
structive, democratic function in u nation at war. We will ju.stify
editorial action on facts and deliherate opinion — not on the good inten-
tions which pave an editor's road to Hell. To effect this policy with the
least possible error, editorial o|)iiii()ns will not arbitrarily be those of the
editor-ill-chief, as ha.s been the custom in the past, hut will also be based
on the opinion of other members of the editorial staff.
Why .stress service for Williams when today's vital need is service
for America? We stress service for Williams, tiecause we believe that a
sincere desire to learn and develop mentally and physically, a genuine
appreciation of this college's opportunities, and a realization of the
democratic values which are inherent in fraternity, academic, or extra-
curricular life will be our best present contributions to democracy's fight.
Wc arc convinced that we can best serve the United States by staying at
WilliaiiKs — by following Mr. Roosevelt's advice and doing the best
jiossible job here until the government calls us to join the armed forces.
We stress .service for Williams, because through the democracy, the educa-
tion, the coniradeshii> of this college we can raise ourselves to the level of
those men whose strength of leaderslui) and courage of heart will help us
to win the war — whose sincerity of faith and depth of thought will help
us to win the peace.
Too few men at Williams accept their responsibilities as citizens of a
democratic, educational institution. Too many say with finality (and
without jiLstification): "I owe nothing to Williams College — I pay for
what I get." By adopting a policy which emphasizes the standards and
values of the liberal arts tradition, by stressing the goals toward which
Williams College and the United States have been fighting since their
founders fell in battle. The Recoud hopes to do its part in combatting
the indifference, the unbridled individualism, the excessive materialism
which are the true Munichs and Pearl Harbors of our generation.
To realize this i)olicy. The Rkcokd will emphasize six points in the
immediate future. First, this ncwsiiaper will back all practical move-
ments tlcsigned to integrate the students, faculty, and alumni more closely
into the life of the college. A more powerful, aggressive Undergraduate
Council, a responsible student-faculty committee to legislate on mutual
problems, and a committee of undergraduates to propose and discuss
jiroblenis with members of the board of trustees will all be investigated
and debated in these columns. Second, The Recohd will constantly
urge improvement of college publicity services, and in line with this
campaign, herein gives permission to any newspaper, magazine, or other
jjuhlication to reprint any article appearing in this paper, provided proper
acknowledgement is forthcoming. Thir<l, this newspaper will suj)port all
activit'ics — particularly the Annual Spring Conference — which put
before the undergradviate body the problems of democracy during war
and peace.
Fourth, TiiK Riot'oiiD will urge the Administration immediately to
place a far greater imijortance on jihysical training for war than it has so
far done. Fifth, all cam))aigns intended to make much-needed economies
on this campus, all stejjs directed towards the immediate installation of
Campus Business Management at Williams will find support in these
columns. Lastly, The Recoud will attempt to prepare brief surveys
of the various departments of the Williams faculty, ami will present such
material as a guide to undergraduates who are about to register for future
courses and majors.
With this policy, with these .six .specific goals, the new editors dedicate
The IlEf'ouD to a fuller concept of the role that Williams must play in the
development of strong, intelligent, courageous leadership for an embattled
democracy. Every effort will be made to help the college generate the
true citizenship needed to wage a victorious war and a victorious peace.
May the weeks or months of Williams life which remain before we take our
place with the front-line defenders of .\merica give us the strength, the
intelligence, the ability to serve the college and the nation — to defeat
the tyranny which threatens to engulf the world — to preserve for all
mankind the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
PARAGRAPHS
IN THE NEWS
After a week of intensive drill, Captain
Bob Hendrie and a nine-man Purple
sqiiuHh team will invade Tigertown to-
morrow for a crack at National and Inter-
collegiate Squash Champion Charlie Brin-

gation.
In their first encounter of the 1942
season, the Williams wrestlers will
meet their toughest opponent of the year

Another innovation is the possibility that
radio st:itions \V(iN' of Schenectady, N.\.,
WTR^' of Troy, N. Y., WHRK of Pitts-
lieUl, and VVBZA of Springfield may broitl-
cast conference highlights.
liconoiny of both time and money is
being stressed by this year's Conference
Committee. By shifting last year's Friday
sessions to Sunday and by telescoping the
Saturday sessions, possibility of conflicts
with the war production |)rogram and the
college "speed-up" had been reduced.
Working with a greatly reduced budget,
the Committee h.is also taken steps to cut
expenses wherever possible without im-
pairing the quality of the Conference.
Prominent among the n.itional and
international figures to whom invitations
have been mailed are Wendell L. Willkie,
1940 presidential candidate, and Ambass-
ador Maxime LitvinolT, .Soviet envoy in
Washington and original champion of
'Collective Security".
Invitations have also been sent to Max
Werner, Walter Reuther, Thurman Ar-
nold, James Carey, Lewis Mumford, Rear
Admiral Clark Woodward, \'iscount Hali-

SENIOR JOBS
(Continued from page 1)
This information is offered by the
Placement Bureau as an antidote to the
"defeatist" attitude which many of the
seniors have acquired. It is aimed to
dispel the idea that the employer is not
interested in the college man who is headed
for the military service.

in political science, became the latest
Williams faculty member to join the grow-
ing delegation in Washington, when he left
Williamstown Sunday to assume his new

Management. Leave of absence has been
granted Mr. Barnett while Thomas Larsen,
recently a teaching fellow at Amherst, will

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1942
Yale Sextet Will Play
Host To Eph Skaters
Elis Seek Revenge For
Last Season's Upset
I'jiger to avenge last season's defeat at
Williams' hands, Yale's high-scoring rink-
imri will play host to the Purple six in the
ICji Arena on Wednesday. Riding high
on the crest of victory in the Quintagonal
l.iague, the Bulldogs will provide a stern
test for Coach Whoops Snively's Ephmen..
That amazing victory over Yale,
biDiight about by five goals in rapid-fire
siKCOSsion late in the game, was the crown-
ing achievement of the 1941 season, and
Coach Snively is hoping that his team
can again win. Dogged by injuries and
ill-luck so far, the return of Bob Nichols,
fastest skater on the squad, is a heartening
iKitc on the eve of this severe test.
Hannock in Final Yale Game
In the nets for his last crack at the top-
nouh New Haven unit will be Captain
Marsh Hannock, who staved off the des-
pciite Elis for the last hectic minutes of the
I'Ml encounter. Teaming with him on
(lilcnse will be Crun Cole and liill Courter,
with Ucrnie Boykin and Ted McFarland
slaiid to see action. Offensively, the
niinn of Nichols has bolstered the squad,
anil Snively will have a full quota of linos
really to face the \'ale puck-chasers.
SKIING
(Continued from page 1)
Phil Cole contributed heavily to the Wil-
liams scoring. Ben Schneider, senior
jumper, took a third for the Purple in his
speciality, while Ken Moore contributed
a sixth in the combined.
Cyr set a deceptive slalom on Saturday
afternoon which proved a nightmare for
the runners who did not anticipate the
difficulties involved in the slippery going.
John Gale of Middlebury avoided penal-
ties and falls to win the event in 51 seconds,
while Phil Cole and Romeyn Everdell,
usually Purple mainstays in the slalom,
placed last and next to last.
Dartmouth Outing Club members work-
ed all day Saturday to make possible the
holding of the jumping on the 40 metre
trestle at the \'ale of Tempe on Sunday.
Due to a fast and uncertain inrun, the
ccntestants were not able to use the full
capacity of the hill. Dunham of Middle-
bury leaped 28.5 metres for the longest
standing jump of the day. Cole and
Schneider were close behind him in second
and third places.
When the final team standings came out,
Dartmouth had 571.86 points, while
Williams took runner-up spot with 537 . 77.
The results were announced at a buffet
supper held for the competitors at the
Ski H\it of the Hanover Inn.
Need Substitutes For
Legion Warning Posts
.'\niericiin Legion Air Raid Warn-
ing Posts are well-manned as far as a
uvular staff is concerned, Louis K.
Hass, legionnaire in charge announced
liiilay, but illnesses due to the weather
lia\e made it imperative that more
Mibstitutesbe found.
Mr. Bass also thanked The Recoud
for its co-operation in obtaining four
warm coats for volunteers. A i)lea
for the coats appeared in The Rkcohu
several weeks ago, and the coats were
donated shortly after. The local
Red Cross has also helped by knitting
woolen mufflers, helmets, and wrist-
Ids.

THE WILLIAMS RECORD. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1942
Faculty Committee Will Conduct Session
For Training Wardens in Air Raid Service
by VViNTiiuoi' n. KdciT
Assocmte I'rofessor of derma n
A systfiu of air raid precautions has
been set up Uic the College by the faculty
Coniniiltee on Cooperation with the
National Defense Program. The set-up
has lieeii kept as simple as possible and
makes use of as many existing organi-
zations as possible.
The s>stem will cover colU'Re buildings,
and, with fraternity cooperation, the
fraternity houses. A group of 165 post
wardens has been appointed for this pur-
pose from the student body with about 15
faculty members serving in addition as
officers in charge of certain buildings.
These men have lieen notified by a letter
sent out yesterday of their appointment,
and assigned to the various college and
fraternity buildings. In almost every
case three men have been assigned to any
given building, but in some cases larger
squads will take charge. This has been
arranged with the cooperation of the
Undergraduate Council.
Training Session in Jesup
A training session will bo helfl on Tues-
day evening, February 10, in Jesup Hall,
which all the post wardens must attend.
At this session the system will be ex-
plained; methods of handling incendiary
bombs, etc., the relations of the College
system to the WiUiamstown Civilian
Defense system, blackout regulations,
and other germane topics will be discussed.
It is further planned to have each squad
taken through its assigned building at a
later date by a member of the Williams-
town Auxiliary Fire Co. who will explain
to the post wardens their specific problems.
Later it is also hoped to have meetings at
which the system will be explained to the
whole college body. Professor Brainerd
Mears will speak on incendiary bombs on
Tuesday night; Professor Emeritus Samuel
Allen will discuss blackout regulations.
Mr. C. N. Morgan will speak for the
Undergraduate Council and the Chairman
of the Conmiittee on Cooperation with
the National Defense Program will explain
the new system.
Notices
When The Recoiid went to press
Thursday night, the following were in the
Thompson Infirmary: J. W. Cochran '42,
C. W. Moore '4.^, and Mertz and C. \V.
Smith '44.
Under the Selective Service Act as
amended on Dec. 20, 1941, approximately
275 students will be required to register
on Feb. 15 and 16th. Men who ha\e
reached the age of 20 will be required to
register, unless they have done so previous-
ly. A group of faculty members, under the
chairmanship of Professor Harper, will
register all students. In order to prevent
congestion and delay specific hours for
registration will be assigned to each stu-
dent concerned. Announcement of the
hours and place for registration will
be made in the next issue of The Recokd.
A list of the students with the hour of
their individual appointments will be
appended.
George M. Harper, Jr.
FreshiTicn are reminded of the class

New Production Chief ;
Changes Recommended
As a result of elections held last Tues-
day, Robert W. Hinnian '43 was chosen
president, and VVillian\ C. Schram '43,
secretary, of the Williams Network.
William R. Witherell '43 won the com-
petition for head of the production board;
John O. Copley '44 was appointed tech-
nical manager, and Harold T. Johnson,
Jr. '43 was retained as business manager.
Plans for Reorganization
In discussing the future plans of the
Network, Hinman disclosed that the execu-
tive committee has already draughted a
preliminary plan for reorganization, aimed
at "progressive reform designed to present
the listener with a greater variety of good
programs." He denied that there would
be any drastic reshuffling of personnel,
but emphasized that immediate action
would be taken to improve the quality of
program presentation, through increased
cooperation between the production de-
partment and the technical staff.
To Continue WBRK Broadcasts
William R. Witherell '43, the new pro-
duction manager, who will be assisted by
Arthur W. Holt '43, has proposed a plan
that separates the announcing and copy-
writing aspects of program product i<m.
This, it is hoped, would "encourage men
who are not adept at both these divisions
to partake in the station's activities."
According to present plans the recently
inaugurated scries of Sunday afternoon
programs, emanating from WMS studios
in WiUiamstown, and aired over WBRK
in Pittsfield, will be continued. In the
future this series will feature programs
stressing "collegiate atmosphere."

Heeausc nf this semester's accelerated schiila.slic pnigram, possibilities for in-
tensilymg undergraduati' participation in athletics as preparation for service with
I he armed forces are slim. Dr. Edwin A. Locke, director of health and athletics,
asserled recently.
"Time Limitations " "T
Dr. Lock<' explained that "lime linii- i
tations" due to the telescoped curriculum !
would prevent immediate expansion ef
athletics to train men for war, although he
emphasized that the college "has no
intention of cutting down on opportunities
for students to take part in organized
sports." On June 29, however, the college
goes back to its regular fourteen week
schedule, which will give e\ery under-
graduate seven and a half extra hours of
time each week.
The Williams athletic director stressed
the ini|)ortance of every undergraduate
working nut in the gym at lea.st live times
each week, declaring that physical lit ness
during wartime is an absolute essential,
especially if the 1 iiited Nations are to win
this World War. Dr. Locke stated thai
only by tlic coiuimiation of an iniensilied
progr.iin uf alliletics could the morale of
the elltilf liillege be kept up. "The
servic-i- wauls men of s.lf-reliance, courage,
skill, and |)liysical development — (|U.ilities
suitable for leadership," he dedaieil.
Two Weekly Periods
.\i I'rincelon all juniors and seniors
enrolh'd in the accelerated si ud\ program
will be re(iuire(l to participate in at least
two weekK- periods of orgaiiizeil exercise
during both the regular terms and summer
sessions, .'\greeing with Dr. Locke, Dr.
Wilbur K. N'ork. chairman of the de|)art-
nient of health and phssiciil education at
Princeton, em|)hasized that the new pro-
gram, which includes such training as
jiu-jitsu and saber iliill. was "to increas:'

Five-Day Drive Starts
Tonight Toward $250
Goal for Gift to Army
.As part of an elTort to raise S2S0 to
co\-er the cost of completeh' furnishing a
recreation room for soldiers at Camp
Edwards or at Fort Uevens, a commitlc'e
of leii representatives of campus social
groups has already been appointed to
canvass their respective organizations for
funds. Starting tonight, this hve-day
drive will end Wednesday evening, Feb. 18.
I'pon receiving a letter from the Citi-
zens' Committee for the .Arnn and the
.Navy that asked him In -.nniiil mil Wil-
liams opinion on such a drive, .Acting
President Kicbanl A. Newhall iiifurnied

a.sked collegiate newspa|KTs in New
England to conduct the campaign if their
respective administrations fnuiid student
opinion favorable lo it.
Campaign Ends Wednesday
.Since twelve social bodies have ahead)'
voiced their iiilention of backing the
drive. Tin: I<k< iihu has written letters of
instruction to men who will canvass for
funds. These campaign representatives
will detcrniine how imich their groups

The group sponsoring this move works
in the army camps and on l)oard vessels I
rather than catering to service men who
are of[ duty as the I'. S. O. does. Re-
cently members of this committee visited
Camp Edwards where they found over
120 recreation rooms still unfurnished.
Similar conditions were found at Fort
Dcvens. Constructed by the govern-
ment, these recreation rooms have ben
left tube ctiuipped through civilian efforts.
Furnishings At Cost
With furnishings supplied at cost the
S250 woillil purchase two large couches,
live e.asy chairs, eight straight back chairs,
four reading lamps, four magazine racks
and a large tahh'. Morale oHicers and
commanding generals at Camp Edwards
have stated that "nothing could be of
more practical value to the well being and
contentment of the men in camp" than
this type of room.

Local Farmers See Hope
In Student - Labor Plan
War Takes Farm Hands;
WilHams May Till Soil
For Duration of War
.Since the Berkshire County .-\geiit
.stymied the forming nf a colleelive farm
at Williams two weeks ago, the Committee
on the Rural Policy of Williamstown has
reported a serious labor shortage in this
area. Interviews with farmer-members
of this committee reveal the desiral.)ilit\'
of a plan that would pul college students
to work on local farms.
The rural i)olic\- committee reports that
defense positions, ihi' draft, high wages in
other jobs, and the short hours of factory
workers have created a scarcity of farm
hands that is being felt throughout this
township. Since each of these factors is
increasing as the war progresses, the
local farm labor probli'iii is becoming
more acute.
Full Day's Woi-k
When (juestioneil in regard to the
practicabilit\- of Williams students substi-
tuting for absent workers, coniniunitN'
farmers voiced their approval provided
that students could devote sufficient time
to the work. Mr. Salem Towne, W'iliiams-
tow'ii farmer and rural polic\' committee
member, pointed out that the plan will
work only if undergraduates can devote
two half da\s, or one entire da\ lo this
work per we.-U.
Air. Leland Jenks, also mi the ^ame
status as .Mr. Towne, feels that sonielhiiig
will "surely develop" from this pl.in. He
believes that action is already afoot to
establish a government agency that will
bring farmer and student laborers to-
gether. Mr. Jenks said, "such a system
will give students a chance to do patriotic
and useful labor by serving a real need."

Kent '11 Blasts Misconceptions of Campus
Business Management as Deadline Nears
by Gkoiiok Y. .\i;iinii.\s "i
"Once you're in, you can't get out!"
"Even if we don't benelit, we'll have to
help carry those bouses that can't get
along by themselves!"
"Where can we save, excepting possibly
through food purchases? $300 is a lot to
make up!"
These falsi' rumors and misconceptions
to the plan for Campus Business Manage-
ment at Williams College recently pro-
posed by the Interfraternity Management
Committee have become wide-spread with
the approach of the h'ebruary 22 deadline
set for acceptance or rejection of the social
groups.
Technical Aspects
This week Stephen G. Kent, .Sr. '11,
secretary of the committee, took time out
to correct popular misconceptions and to
elaborate on some of the technical aspects
of cooperative buying an<l management.
Secretary Kent emphasized that some
provision wotild be made for houses to
withdraw frcmi participation in the event
that they cease to benefit from the plan.
Business Management, the committee
concedes, is purely experimental, and its
mechanics cannot be created overnight.
Primary Objective
Priinary objective of the committee,
Mr. Kent said, is lo cre:ite a system pro-
viding for continuit\, stability and
efficiency for every house, every year.
.Vliial food purchases will continue to
be iiKide through individual house buyers,
Mr. Kent empbasizeil, and the adminis-
trator will, under Campus Management,
ascertain the best possible prices and
ipialities of commodities, with representa-
ti\es of the various social units buying
what they choose through him.
Common Dairy, Bakery
Contracts, such as those negotiated
under the Amherst Business Management
Plan for supplying the entire eating system
with dairy, bakery and other products
common to the ever\'day menu of each
house, could probably be made here, Mr.
K<-nt pointed out.
Other products not usually bought at
wholesale pric<:s, such as floor wax and
furniture polish, would, under the new
system, be purchased more cheaply
through theadministratorand the savings
passed on to the houses.
I'inally, the committee secretary said,
the primary job of the manager will be to
supervise and instruct individual house
treasurers on efficient methods of book-
keeping and general man,igemcnt.

111 Memory Of

Commander of the Lo.st Battalion
Physical Preparedness
In I III' Iraiiiin/i of men to serve in the armed forces or elscivhcrc, the
nniicr.silv niiisl cniiilmsir.e its responsibilitv for their physical fitness. The
students ire {irmlnate must be rnjiged. physically alert, schooled in the habit
of discipline. I favor, accordiufily, an intensified athletic program in which
every niiderjlradnale, except us debarred by his doctor, shall participate.
Tiiese words of "i'ale's President, Charles Seymour, like tlie com-
piil.sory alhlelie jjrograins adopted recently at I'rinceton and Harvard
for men pursuing accelerated courses, jKiiiit out a serious weakness in the
.s])ee(led-up Williams ciirriciiluni. Although the military life which lies
ahead of iimisI Williams iiieii demands stamina and excellent lieallh, the
Admiiiistialion lias not yet evolved a physical |)reparedness |)rograiii lo
coni])leuiciit its telescoped curnculuin. There are still many upperclass-
iiK'ii getting little or no exerci.se — despite the Administration's reeom-
niendation that each ii:an follow the .san^e conditioning ])rogram adhered
to hy varsity athletes.
To remedy this situation, Tliio Riocoui) lielieves that the Administra-
tion .slunild adopt a c()m))ul.sory athletic program whereby the phy.sically
lazy minority will be e(Miipelled to turn out with the athletic majority.
This program .should reiiuire every Williams undergraduate, regardless of
class, 1(1 iiarlieijiate in some athletic activityorliisDwnclioosiiig — thrcctiiiies
each week. Heeauseof the speeded-iipcurriculuiii,siicli a program could
not well be ado])ted until Monday, June 29, when the beginning of a
regular fourteen-week semester will free upperclassmen from their lu'cseiit
overcrowded .schedules. During the remainder of this .semester, however,
iipi)erelassnieii not participating in varsity athletics would find a vohiii-
tiiry trij) to tlie gym or squash courts Ihrce times each week an excellent
investment in their own — aiul the nation's — future.
The coiii|)ulsory athletic program herein proposed to the Admiiii.stra-
tioii would re(|Miie that freshmen and sophomores continue P. T. work
as in the piisl . Juniors and .seniors would receive a choice of any .sport
which the Williams gym or field oifers. although — like underclassmen —
they would participate in that .s|)ort at specified hours under an instructor,
who .should lake daily roll call. It must lie emphasizcfl that 6:30 a.m.
lab campus drills would be profitless for Williams, and that cali.sthcnic
clas.ses, if com|)ul.sory, would Vie of no use — for a man receives the max-
iimiin heiiefit from athletics only when he enjoys the activity in which he
is paiiieijialing.
Tlie gains in college morale, in iindergriiduale fitness, and in the
ability of Williams men to endure iihysical hard.ship and .stand up under
the rigor of army life will be well worth the money, time, and undergrad-
uate effort demanded by such a compulsory athletic program.

Willianii' uml for Campus Business
Maimgcmenl has nei'er been more efji'ctively
staled ihnii in ihis recrnl Alumni Review
ariicle by Mr. Under:
"Lei me point mil a fact, ii very simple
one, thai has gone unnoticed for years, y.'l
it ii full of meaning. In the report of the
collef^e treasurer under dale of July 25, 1Q40,
appears the following slulemenl: 'The
average number of students in attendance
for the year was 814. We received from
litem for tuition, and for room charges,
and for health fees, $446,821 . 72. litis
figure is .10.2% of our total receipts of
$880,294 . ,S6' . The total $446,821 received
from lite entire student body is just about
equal to the amounts paid hy their members
to the 16 social units on the campus for
board, dues, social ei-ents. etc. How com-
fortable would you feel if the college entrusted
lite adminiitralioit of the business affairs of
the college to a group of inexperienced
iindergradtiales whose tenure of office was
for only one year} Need I say more'. Tlie
inculcation of sound and prtideni business
principles into the management of our
social units ought to produce very suhstanlial
savings in operating costs above lite modest
e.vpenses of the proposed Campus Business
Management at Williams.")
To the Editors of 'I'liK Recokd:
'Pliere is no cloulil l)ut that Oi-operativp
Management will 1k' of enormuus value to
Williams. There is no doubt but that it
has the overwhelming support of the stu-
dent body aiul aliiiiini. But m a recent
RiocoiMJ article at least seven lieads of
houses expressed doubt about the value
to their houses iif setting up Co-operative
Buying note. The reason for this is the
fear that the plan would not be able to
save the S.?00 to S400 a \ear needed to
put it into operation.
The trouble is that lliese fears ari' \'er\'
justified. The report of ihe aluinni
coniniittee does not give any detailed
statistics to prove the value of the action it
urges. The report simpK' repeals the
general arguments for Co-operative Man-
agement which we all knew and l)elie\e<l
a year ago.
I believe that Co-operative Managc-
niLMit is in great danger now. Its danger
is not from its enemies — it has none. The
danger to Co-operative Management is
from those of its friends who rt'fuse to
face the pre.sent war eniergenc\' realistical-
ly. VVillianis College faces the possihilit\-
of targe ennillnieni losses, and the houses
face the problem of reduced or rapidh'

social unit will retain complete control of
its own business affairs. We do not seek

CONFERENCE
(Continued from page 1)
last September Carey figured pnimi-
nently in the news when his leadership was
repudiated at the I'EKMWA fall conven-
tion. Left wingers were instrumental in
blocking his reelection after he tried to
pu.sh a residution banning Communists
from union posts.
lirnsl, a graduate of Williams in 1909,
was an imlslaiiding speaker at the 1939
Liberal Conference where he made a pli'a
for the extension of competition as a cure
for the "curse of Big Business".
As a liberal New York lawyer, Ernst has
handled many cases for the American
Civil Liberties I'nion and is currently
attorney for the American Newspaper
Guild and a nundjer of other CIO unions.
He is a member of the State Banking
Connnissiou of New York and a prolific
writer on political and econcnnic issues.
His latest book. Too Big, was a study of
American Big Business.
Axis Arch Foe
Sidvemini's acceptance brings to the
conference an arch !i)V of the axis. A pre-
Mussolini Italian legislator, Salvemini was
arrested by the lilackshirts in 1925 as an
anti-Fascist. In 1926 his property was
confiscated and he was forced to flee Italy.
He is currently a lecturer in Italian History
at Harvard and contributes articles on
Italian Fascism lo many periodicals, His
most recent bonk is Under Ihe Axe of
Fiiscisni.
Wright is (tne nf the nal ion's foremost
authorities on International Law. He
edits the Journal of International Law and

WAR ATHLETICS
(Continued from page 1)
hencefunh be retpiired to report for snpcr-
vised physical training four limes a week.
The purpose of ihis program, he asserted,
was to prepare students "for the military
or war duties to which they may later be
called."
Intensified Program
IVesitient Charles Seymour of N'ale also
showed complete agreement with Dr.
I.ocki' in the importance of ph\'sical iitnoss
when he recently asserted, "The students
we graduate must be rugged. pli\'sically
alert, schonletl in the habit of discipline.
I favor, accordingh-, an inleiisilicd athletic
l^rograni in which e\'er\" undergraditate,
except as debarred by his doctor, shall
participate."
Only sixteen of the fifty-three inter-
collegiate C(mtests originally scheduled
for this spring can be played, Mr. A. V.
Osterhout, graduate manager of athletics,
jjointed out, but he went on to say that
nicjre would be added as soon as the revised
programs of other colleges were ascer-
tained. He expects that 208 intramural
teams will be in action this winter and
spring and hopes that increased student
participati(m will help to offset the inter-
cnllegiate athletic loss. Mr. Osterhout
added that the college intends to increase
intranmral game scheduli's in the near
future.

anil mort' clillicult In sivoid shaip rises in
costs. CniliT sucli cumlilidns contnict
and liiilli Inn inK will lie (if use to I Ik- liiiiisos
only ill a iniiKir way.
Willi the purpose 1)1' savins' C'u-uperal ivi;
Management from tlie dangers which con-
front it now, I would like to propose that
the plan lie put into opi'iation in the fol-
lowing way:
1. Each house and aluniiii group to
elect a member to lh<' two conmiittees
proposed in the report.
2. An executive committee to be set
up as proposed in the report.
3. The e.-cecutivc committee to arrange
for uniform accounting practices for all
the niember-houses.
4. 'I'lie e.xeculive committee to arrange
for tile co-operative purchase of some
selected items which could be easily and
economically purchased in bulk.
5. The member-houses to be assessed
a small fee to co\er the expenses involved.
6. The member-houses would com-
mit themselves to the payment of a tax
sufllicient for hiring a manager andputting
the plan into complete operation as soon
as the committees representing them feel
it is advisable, probably not before the
end of the war iind the re-establishment of
normal enrollment and normal economic
conditions.
This plan has several advantages.
First, it would permit most of the houses
to join now even though they would not
be able to pay out S300 or S400. Second,
it would permit the careful study of con-
ditions needed before extensive co-opera-
tive buying can be started, which study
cannot be made until reliable, comparative
statistics are available. Third, it would
eliminate the possibility of the system's
folding up under the pressure of reduced
membership of the member-houses.
Fourth, it would permit houses which have
caterers and othi-r independent savings!
schemes to make a gradual shift-over
without sulTering .in\' losses.
If we are to save Co-operative Manage- j
ment we must face the problem as it is.
And we must save the plan. For this
may be our last chance to start adjusting
the Williams system to the changing world.
Let's be sensible then, and save Co-
operative Mana.gement. It must not die
i,Sif,ned)
Robert Allen
•43
.{Editor's Note: We ag,ree with Reader
Allen thai Cnmpns Business Management
must not die now. We do not agree llial
any house need fear losing $300 or S400 hy
voting their acceptance of the plan. We be-
lieve that Cooperative Management is en-
dangered only by those men who cannot
judge it beyond the scope of immediate
dollar-and-cenl savings. Reader Allen
should con.sider intelligent budgeting rf
expenses, effective cost controls, efficient
collection of receivables, prompt payment
of debts {resulting in discounts), and the
numerous possible business arrangements
which lead to a curtailment of overhead
when he judges Campus Business Manage-
ment. For although these services may nut
result in immediate savings ne.\l month, they
will result in immense savings next yeiir, j
and the year after. |
In view of decreasing enrollment, in
view of the many times house presidents,
treasurers, and stewards are going to change
within It ftie months, in view of the fuel that
u central manager will be able to make
sense out of this chaos, Reader Allen's
proposal — while saving fraternities the
cost of a manager — would cost them many
times the manager's expense in terms of
efficiency, continuity, adequate knowledge
of markets, of taxation, of fuel costs, etc.
Reader Allen should place his emphasis
on the elimination of waste, inefficiency,
and inexperience. In eradicating these
evils, a central manager should he worth
$300 or S400 to each fraternity.)
Peck's Fast Quarter
Paces Eph Relay Win
Coach Ton>' Plansky's winter relay team
opened their 1942 campaign with a spec
tacular win as Warner Peck turned in a
50.4 quarter to hand his teammates the
five-yard lead by which they won one of
the College Invitation Relajs over Colum-
bia, M.I.T., and Amherst, at the Millrose
Games in Madison Square Garden last
Saturday' night.
Sophomore Dick Hunsdorfer, running in
his first varsity race, lead olT for Williams
and was boxed in, dropping twelve yards
to his opponents in a 54.2 quarter. Start-
ing late, Peck put on a terrific spurt and
made up the yardage and more, handing
Heppes a five-yard lead.
Heppes, paced by his speedy M.I.T.
opponent, finally overtook him. Captain
Chapman, running anchor man, held the
lead and won by eight yards in 3:28.6.,
des|)ite a last minute drive by M.I.T.
Plansky will lake the winter relay team
to Boston next Saturday for the Boston
A. A. games in the garden. The same
line-up will probably run in the mile
relay.
BASKETBALL
(Continued from page 1)
Outscored on the court l.y three baskets,
the Purple won the Union game at the foul
line. Failing to click until the closing
minutes, the ICphmen rallied from a 6-

Purple Skiers Capture
Third at Dartmouth
Climaxing a series of meets in wliicii
Dartmouth has alwa\s been able to place
one step ahead of Pur])le contenders, the
Williams Outing Club will hold a four-
event meet with the Dartmouth Outing
Club this weekend on Sheep Hill.
Fighting to take Daitinouth on Wil-
liams' home territorv, the Kph "B" team
consisting of Don Potter, Bob Fisher,
Erick and Fielding Brown, Denny \'olk-
niann, and Frim Lathrop will run off three
exents on a hard fast base practically
de%oid of powder snow. The cross-
country will begin and end on Weston
Field.
Competing in Dartmouth's 34th annual
Winter Carnival last weekend, the Purple
ski team pulled in third behind New
Hampshire's Wildcats and Dartmouth's
\eteran skiers in a four e\ent meet held on
Hanover's home groumls and at Wood-
stock \ t. on the celebrated Suicide Six.
Starring for the Eph team was Bromo
E\'crdell who won a first in the slalom.
Showing coiisistciith' good form was Dave
Hroivn, who captured a sixth in cross-
country, and the Williams captain, Phil
Cole, who landctl in the fifth slot at
Hanover in the jumping.
FARMING
(Continued from page 1)
students as a whole for such labor Mr.
Jenks said, "Any bo\' who is really in
earnest can learn. The determining fac-
tor is that these bo\s be energetic and
willing." Both these farmers believe that
Williams men who are ine\perienced in
farm work can be of use in gardening and
can be taught farming techniques that
will serve adei|lialely in the crisis.
Mrs. Donald Cole, a lliii'l member of
the rural policy committee and wife of the
owner of the farm on which tlu- Williams
Airport is located, said that she is entirely
in favor of the suggested move.
Since the summer term will be longer
than this present semester, acceleration
will be h'ss inti'use at that time. This
will enable undergraduates to do more
farm work in the season when their
services are most needeil.

Class insurance, used for many years
by graiiuating classes to express their
devotion to Williams in concrete terms,
has thus far received little support from
the class of 1942, according to Richard M.
Whidden, permanent secretary of the class.
During the past few days an insurance
representative has contacted the seniors
in vari{)us houses on the campus, and has
met with little success. Whidden was
emphatic in urging a more satisfactory
resijonse in the future, terming tho past
attitude as "decidedly lacking in class
spirit." Last >ear all but twenty of the
150 graduating seniors contributed to the
Retiring President BoOZ mcjvement, and those who did not con-

To War Relief Groups takes out a policy for which he pays seven
dollars a year for a period of twent\'-live
years, at which time the accumulated
principal and interest, amounting to S2,S0
per man, reverts to the college to be used
at the discretion of the class. Another
method is to take out a SI 200 piilic\- and
pay the $2.S0 interest to the college. In
either case, the C(]llege receives S25().

'Middle-o£-Road' Policy
President -IClect Schram has aiuiounced
that the Williams Christian Association
will continue to follow a middle-of-the-
road policy, emphasizing neither religious
nor scicial activities, but attempting to
reconcile the two phases.
He also asserted that previous outside

Impressing his coniphto confidence in

' ' •\mh;Msf, expressed "disappointment in

"below the surface Amherst and Williams

slioit meeting in The Rk<ohi) busi-

il<'siring further information are in-
vited to attend.
Williams fraternities would not sa\'e
enough to cover expenses, pointing to the
success t,f business management during its
first year at Amherst.
In th,it first year, wrote Davenport,
figures were presented siippi;itln.g sa\-ings
of approximately $10,000 in purchasing.
Amherst fraternities were nio\-e(l from a
red pi;sition of $.^200 to a positive figure
of S.'400 and dues were reduced by $2100.
At the same time, he pointed out, the
S.SOOO cost of management had been
co\i'red.
Davenport stated that in order to insure
the success of such a system, the manage
ment must work for discoimts through
saving the seller's time, money and effort,
eliminating sales i'.nd handling expenses,
and assuring iirompt collection of pur-
ch.ises.
Parallels Big Business
The business manager likened the pro-
posed system to the operation of a big
business, and pointed to the chaos which
would arise if the shipping, s.alc9, engineer-
ing, and other departments of a large
corporation made their own contracts for
maintenance and repair work, telephone
service and purchasing, and if each depart-

Phe Williams Glee Club has made plans
for a full spring schedule, Manager Arthur
V. Lee, 111 '42 announc<'d yesterday.
Five concerts are tentatively lined up
during March and April, as well as at
least one appearance of the Octet.
The reason for this accelerated program,
covering a space of onl\' six weeks, is
"indecision due to the war," according to
Glee Club President Warren G. Ilunke '42.
Glee Club membership has been cut down
from fifty-four to thirty-nine for the same
rea.son, Ilunke stated.
A trip to Hennington earK in March will
start the season. The Bennington Glee
Club will not appear in this concert, but
tentative arrangements have been made
for a mid-month popular song program b\

We iini.st — and this i.s the vital iioiiit — keep in sight the larger
problems which the war raises. The war must be fought, not for its
own sake, but for a ju.st and lasting world order The .series of faculty
lectures on the war, jiroposed two days after war was declared, has not
been heard from since. The .series idea should be revived and carried

J'iiially, we iiiiisl make the coming Sjiriug Conference as successful

D.ivenport admitted that the present

wholesale concerns are still anxious to sell

"It is not," he emphasi^etl, "good
business for sixteen .social units to try to

in itself is reason enough for the existence

Letter to Editors
Gargoyle Committee Releases Suggestions
To Control Campus Business Organizations
To the Editors of The Rkcohh:
I was rather astonished last evening to
read in your issue of Feb. 13 an article
ascribing certain statements to me with
res|)ect to the proposed Campus Business
.Management at Williams College.
1 had no interview with Thk Recoiid
although I did talk with one other under-
graduate regarding the Campus Business
Management plan. Apparently certain
slati'ineiUs which 1 made have been mis-
understood either by the original hearer or
in course of transmission to Tni-: Rhcohi).
Ol these cnie of them seems particularly
unlortunale as it creates the impression
thai those .social units subscribing to the
phiii for the first year may be permitted to
Hilhdniw ther<'froni during the course of
thai \ear. What 1 said was that we are
not now creating a permanent organi-
zation. ICach unit commits itself for the
first \ear only and at the end of that time
can arrive at its ow'U decision as to its
future participation.
Of course, after the Business Manage-
ment is established each unit will have to
coiilinue lo stand on its own feel linan-
cialK'. It does not sacrifice its ability or
its responsibilitx' in handling its own
business affairs. It will, however, deri\e
some sound advice and business guidance
and we hope be afforded the o])portunit\
to operate more efiicientl>' and economi-
calK than under methods previousK-
employed.
In view of the prominence given lo \our
prior article, 1 would request that you give
this letter suitable space in your forth-
coming issue so that there can be no mis-
apprehension on anyone's part when join-
ing the Campus Business Management.
(Signed),
Stephen G. Kent
Seer eta ry-'l rea surer
Williams Interfruiernily Commiltec
(liditors' Note: We gave prominence to
Mr, Kent's article because we felt his vieuKs,-
as expressed to a undergraduate not on Tiik
Rkcohi), mudd help end the recent "mis-
apprehensions" which many students have
felt about Cooperative Management. Mr.
Kent does not name the "misunderstand-
ings" of w'hich he speaks; consequently we
can rectify no errors if any exist.
We .mill last week: "Secretary Kent
emphasized that .wnie provision would be
made for houses to withdraw in the event that
they ceased to benefit from the plan." Does
this imply thai social units could withdraw
during the course of the first yeiir in which
Ihe Campus Business Management is in
existence? We think not. No'w that Mr.
Kent has named Ihe committee's "provision,"
however, we feel certain that Williams frater-
nilics will understand thai they arc not burn-
ing all their bridges liehind them if they very
wisely vote for Campus Business Manage-
ment this weekend.)

Spring Production Planned
Plans are now being made for the pro-
duction of Ceorge Kelly's Pulitzer prize-
winning play, Crate's Wife. Murray
announced. The A. M. T. committee
has approved the Cap and Bells petition
to put on ihis play for si)ring house
parties, or at the lime when such house
parties would ordinarily be held.
In discussing the situation regarding
this play, the Cap and Bells executive
committee statetl that the production is
scheduled to lie a benefit performance with
the proceeds going to some worthy cause,
such as the U.SO or Red Cross. The
production policy aims to have a full-
length edition but will stage it as siniph-
as possible — thus entailing no undue
expense.

ager of athletics also aided in the investiga-
tion.
Although the lep'rt dnnvn up b> I his
nnnmittee contains \ery lillle ditailul oi
specific information, lis general purpose is I
to bring to lighi the existing cjiulilii.ns
and to suggest |Kjsi-ible methods if iiii-
provement.
Those concessions which wer,' investi-
g.-ited ha\e l.ei n divided into three mrin
categoiies. The first iiuludes these agen-
cies which are self-contained iiidis and
which recpiire e.ipital and outlay as well
as colU'ction of funds. The seecmcl group
contains those agencies which do not re-
ciuire capital for their operation, and the
third group is the concessimis o-giililed
by .Mr. Osterhnnt.
Profits Are $2,500
I'nder the fir.st unit falls such orgiiiiz :-
lions as the newspapi r routes, the stu-
dent laundry, mag.iziiie and rooming
agencies, jjhysical training suits, ^'iid
the food concession. The anneel gress
business h.indled by these cani])iis organ-
izations amounts to about SS.OOO while
the net profit is around S2.'iOO.
The conci'ssions which fill i iider tin

Committee Gives Recommendations
.•\s louiid by llie e.,nmiiitie. theri' are
two main faulis with ihe exis.ing system.
Kirst. the control of an $8000 per year
enterprise has been placed in the hands of
inexperienced undergraduates. Often the
lesnlling coiisv(|liences are ixiorly run
ag, iicies which, in the long run. pro\ide
less remnner.-iion thai' if thiy were eon-
In.lled by a central aiuhority.
Secondly, succession to these agenci.s is
determined by politics -uid p: rsonal whim
rather than financial nei d and ability.
Thirdly, the "l.ick of conliol heretofore
existent has restrici.d the iiniouiu of
ii:oin-\' wliirh schol irship men mi;.;h( earn
on ihe e.iiiipiis."
After thorough consideiiiiioii, I lie eoin-
mittee has presented five lecmniiienda-
lions:-
(1) Reglllalion .illd control ol all
undergraduate ageiicii'S (except those now
hanill. il l.\ the S.A.C.) shall hereafter

'4) In .111 effoit to g. t increased e.nd

Fine British Woollens
Britain's slashing of 50% in quotas of wool, and their
comprehensive draft of craftsmen into the war effort
exclusively, make definite a diminishing supply of fine
British woollens with small prospects for replacements.
J. PRESS patrons will be well advised to take the
present opportunity to fill their requirements for fine
clothes.

Brownlee to Sing
Tuesday in A.M.T.
Concert Series Sponsor
Noted British Baritone;
Studied Opera in Paris
Next I'ui'sday eviniiiK at S:30 p.m. the
I'lioiiipsim Concert CdiiimitliT will pre-
sent John Brownlee, leading baritone of
the Metropolitan, ChicaKo, ami San
Francisco Opera Companies. Mr. Brown-
lee, widely known as a recitalist and con-
cert artist, will be heard in the Adams
Memorial Theatre.
Despite the fact thai he hatl iie\'er re-
ceiv'ed any vocal training, Mr. Brownlee
started his career b\' winning the annual
sinsing contest at Ballarat, Australia.
.ShortU afterwards, on the advice of Dame
Melba, he left Australia where he had
been born of Scotch parents, and went to
study in Paris under Dinh Gilly.
Brownlee came rapidly into the public
e> c. Less than three years after he came
to Paris, he made his operatic debut at the
Triannn-Lyriciue and in 1926. was en-
naged by Dame Melba to sing in her
memorable farewell appearance at Covent
Garden. Brownlee returned to Paris
a^ain, beconiinK a mcnd)er of the Paris
Grand Opera. He was the first English-
man to be attached to its permanent roster.
Enjoys Universal Acclaim
Definitely an international artist, Mr.
Brownlee has enjoyed universal acclaim.
Oi)era companies in Brussels, Monte
Carlo, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, and Rio
de Janeiro have presented him to en-
thusiastic audiences. Me was first heard
in this country at the Metropolitan.

The lewtitten \'ersion (jf Mrs. Ko}'
Lamson's latest play, RapectUiUy Yniirs,
will receive its premiere perform'uiee in
Cincinnati on Maich .^ by the Actors
Guild.
The locale of the ])lay, a comedy in
three acts, is an liastern collCfje cantpiis.
The plot ileals with the problems f\rm\-
ing out of the self-assertion oi ii prt^fessor's
wife, Mrs. Lydia Gieenloaf, who has re-
mained too long in the shadow of her
husband's ri'putation.
Wife vs. Husband
Her emergence into the public e\e is
accomplished by the unexpected popular-
ity of a book she has written entitled
How to Command Rapsct al Home.
Professor CiO'cnleaf, who is a prominent
scholar and political theorist, is startled
into a sudden realization th.it his wife's
fame more than equals his own, and the
resulting conflict of careers piodncps an
amusing satire on therespectiveaspir;itions
of husband and wife. The problem is
further eompiieatefl by a lo\'e affair be
tween Mrs. Greenleaf's (laughter and her
publicity agent, which eventually results
in a happ\' nnrriage.

WMS Reorganizes
Production Set-up
Transcription Exchangee
Proposed by Station's
Executive Committee
WM.S Production Manager William
K. Withendl '43 announced yesterda\'
that the second competition for the
class of 1945 for piisitions on the
l^niduclion, Husimss, and Announc-
ing Hoards will start on Monday,
I'ebruarv 23.
Losing no time in putting their plans for
reorganization into effect, the lixeeutive
Committee of the Williams Network
approved two resolutions Thursday de-
signed to revamp the departmental struc-
ture of the station, and to increase pro-
gram variety.
The double aim of this new plan has
been incorporated in two amendments to
the WMS constitution. The first pro-
vides for the creation of an independent
announcing board, separate and distinct
(rom the production board, and the othiT
specifics that the business board shall
.issume the duties of copy writing, which
were formerly delegated to the production
staff.
New Positions
Two new positions have been created
to handle the work of the newly organized
announcing board; the office of Chief
Announcer, now filled by William C.
Schram '43, and the position of Program
Supervisor, occupied b\" Robert W. Hin-
man '43. Provision has been made for
the establishment of a staff of program
directors, whose duties will consist in
checking the quality, efficiency, and
(jriginality of program presentation.
The executive Committee also initiated
action designed to establish a record
library of vatiet\' shows, featuring college
talent from schools throughout the E;ist.
Acting in c<jllabornlion with the Inter-
collegiate Hroadcasling System, WMS has
proposed a radio transcription exchange,
which would provide diversified entertain-
ment material recorded in permanent
form and suitable for rebroadcasl to
various colleginle audiences,
Valuable Publicity
Witherell disclosed that WM.S has al-
ready begun wiirk on such a program.
According to present plans it will include
faculty talks, musical selections by campus
organizations, and a comedy skit. With-
erell pointed out that such recordings will
not onh' provide program material f<ir
other colleges, but will also provide
valuable publicity for Williams.
Town Meeting Votes
Funds To Buy Utility
Agitation For Low Rates
Brings Water Purchase
The culmination of a two year campaign
for reduced water rates, given its impetus
last spring by a series of articles written
for The Recoro by Philip H. Cocmibs,
came last Monday night when the people
of Williamstown voted unanimously to
raise $318,500 for the purchase of the
local water company.
'I'he vote stipulated that only S3500
of the total sum is to be raised by the
1942 taxation. It is expected that the
revenues will be sufficient to write off at
least $10,000 of the debt annually. The
remainder of the S3 15,000 will be borrowed
through the issuance of notes and bonds
payable "in not more than thirty years."
Ibe final price of the water franchise was
set after protracted negotiations with the
utility executives,
T'he Monday town meeting placed the
jurisdiction of the utility temporarily
in the hands of the Board of Selectmen.
In the future a "water district" will be
established and placed under the super-
vision of a board of cf)nimissioners.
Addressing his final town meeting
Samuel P. Blagdcn '96, retiring chairman
of the board of selectmen, urged the
Williamstown citizens to use discretion

High-Scoring Victories
Coach Bob Muir's freshman swimming
team splashed their way to seven firsts
in eight events last Saturday in Lasell
Pool, defeating Albany Acadenty, 39-17.
Losing only the 220-yard sprint, the fresh-
men piled up impressive pointage in their
first win in two starts.
Captain Bill Case proved to be the
outstanding performer in winning both
the 50-yard and the 100-yard dashes, in
the meet, 25.3 and 58 seconds respectively.
Hole Paces Quintet
Paci'd by Captain L^ick Mole, the
freshman basketball quintet piled up 75
points to bury Albany Academy under a
deluge of hoops Saturday afternoon on
the Albany court. Coach Dick Coleman's
charges held their opponents to 36
markers, while Plunkett topped the
Purple in .scoring with 19 points, followed
by Hole with 16, and Bolton Bangs with
14.
Showing more finesse than they have
exhibited all >'ear, the freshmen ran up
their highest score of the year in display-
ing their fire-house brand of basketball,
and showed especial improvement in their
ball handling.

Came to Williams in 1934
Mr. Catzjie, who has been stnihiiiK .it
Stanford Tniveisity since September,
iirininally came to Williams fur a year in
1934 as an e\clian};e student. .MiIioukIi
he is a native iif the Gernian Kliineland, he
ciinsiders his present apiJoinlmenl as "a
return home." Ever since thai- lirst visit
he has kept in close touch with the Wil-
liams 1 lisliirs- DeparlnieiU. and it was with
the help of I'riifessor Hirilsall that he was

visit inn friends in America durinj; a six-
weeks' spring vacation from law school.
AlthiiUKh his mail was closely e.\aniined,
and his home searched, he had laid his
jihins so carefully thai there was no pretext
on which the Nazi Government could
detain him, although they knew he was
mil a sLippiirlenif the I lit ler regime.

Draft "A Privilege"
.Viet at the elock h\' Professor Uichard
A. Newhall, (iatZKc went immediately to
.Montreal, where the American cimsiil
changed his sixty-day visiting |)erniit to a
regular visa, which would permit him to
take out citizenship papers. He did so,
an<l is now waiting for his hnal papers,
which he expects sometime in March.
When he attains full status as an American
citizen he will probably lie called for draft
dutv, but he insists that will be "a privi-
lege."
After re-entering Williams as a junior,
Mr. Gatzge, a member of Delta Kap|)a
Epsihm, received his degree in 1938, and
for the next two years he studied ami
taught at Harvard, where he took his
M. A. in 1940.
Although he returned to Germany in
1935 because he felt he could not "change
countries as one would change an over-
coat," Mr. Gatzge soon decided that
Nazism had ceased to be "an exclusively
German afTair," but was "a world menace."
Believes Allies Will Win
The German expatriate described his
attitude toward the present war as "more
American than European," and expressed
"sincere confidence in an ultimate victory
for the Allies. We ha\e the best materials,
the best factories, and the finest minds in
the world. We will win," he said, "but
we must look beyond military victory to
the peace."
Expressing patriotic rewrence for the
cultural achievements of the German past,
he ileclared that any post-war settlement
must provide a suitable environment for
for the continuance of that tradition.
Specilically he advocates a lengthening of
the time between the armistice and the
peace to provide a "cooling-otT period."

L. K. Bass Renews Call
For More Volunteers
Electric Listeners Will
Not Replace Spotters
C'otinteiacting nmiors that the listening
devices being Iniilt in the Thonipson
I'hysics Laboratory would replace the
vohinteei watchers, Lewis K. Mass, head
of the Williamstowii lir spotters, state,!
that the machines would be used to relieve
the hardship of standing in the cold and
would by no means take over the jobs of
the local wardens.
Spotter Handles Listener
The device will have a horn which mast
be turned tow ird the approaching planes
in order to pick up the sound of their
motors, and will recpiire the iiresence of a
spotter to handle it and another to check
up on new sounds and to report to army
headqjartcrs.
Bass expressed concern that this false
rumor might discourage future volunteers,
many of which arc badly needed. Me said
that in all probability only one automatic
lookout would be built.
While speaking before the League of
Women \oters early this week, Bass re-
\ealed that there were some people in this
community who think that the local
volunteers organizations is a "big joke".
"It is these people," he said, ''who will
point fingers at the defense group and sa\'
'why didn't you do something' when a
bomb drops on Williamstowii. What is
needed now is less criticism and more
help."
Allen Publishes ^Lif e In
18th Century England'
Classic, Romantic Trends
Analyzed in Portfolio
"Life in 18th Century Kngland." a
portfolio by Assistant Professor Robert
J. .Mien of the Knglish Department, was
])ublishcd last week by the Boston Museum
of Fine Arts. It is the fourth in a series
analyzing significant periods in cultural
history, sponsored by the Boston .Museum.
Original Form
The format of the portfolio series
re|)resents a distinct departure from
conventional book form. Professor Allen's
work comes in a large folder, which
contains forty-two plates of illustrative
material with accompanying explanatory
essays, and a booklet which discusses
cultural trends and thought patterns of
the period.
In writing the booklet and gathering
the m-aterial. Professor .Mien said, "My
: ini is to make a synthesis of the various
forces w hich contributed to English culture
i:i the 18th Century." The booklet makes
this synthesis in a literary way and the
plates do it visually.
Professor .iMIen collected the plates
used in the portfolio hy writing to art
galleries, museums, and collectors. One
includes a print from a Chapin Library
Look on gardening by John Evelyn.
Others include engravings and prints of
the eighteenth century, as well as photo-
graphs of articles still <'.xisting. such as
buildings and the paintings of Hogarth,
( :ainsl)orough and Reynolds.

Leading off foi the Ephnien in inie of the
j college invitation mile relays, sophomori'
! Dick llunsdorfer was elbowed off the last
' turn in a tight scramble for positions and
I fell 70-yards from the finish line, handing
I his team-mates a deficit of forty yards by
the time he recovered.
The team was competing against Tufis
and Rhode Island who crossed the finish
one, two tespectivelv. In a superb effort
to retake his opponents, Warner Peck ran
a 4'). 8 second qu.irler (running start), and
niail'.lgeil III win back 'd \'irds\
Paul lleppes pressed his men, hm ,i,|.
gap was too great. Despite his la,,
minute drive and Brew Chapman's fasi
anchor leg, the Jumbos and Uanis kept ,,
wide margin between Williani-, ;|,„|
victory.
.Showing great development this winter
and having run a 1:15 in recent pi.ieijcc'
Peck is expected to run in the (idll yj,,.,!
dash in the New England A. A. meet at

"It's a lair ide.i if it doesn't uike up loo
much time. but then, what the hell, we
are in a war and you should do some-
thing— " ranks as a generally representa-
tive expression of campus opinion on the
student-farmer plan advanced by the
Committee on Rural Policy of W'illiams-
t<jwn.
P. T. Credits
This plan, which calls for thi' services of
students on the neighboring farms two
half-days a week to alleviate tin- expected
labor shortage during the sunmier months,
would serve to furnish P. T. credits for
those recpiired to take some form of regular
exercise.
1 he majority ol the juniors, sophomores,
and freshmen t|Uestioned were in favor of
the plan — if it applied to someone else.
Only those who had dime rural work before
thought th<-y might like to try it again,
allhough some thought the\' would lake a
taste "for curiositx's sake". All thought
it would be good for scholarship nun. if
the pay was worth while and the hours
not too long.
New Experience
.Some hailed the idea for the new ex-
perience it would offer most Williams
students. "We might learn a certain
Irom it if it were carried out
It is certainK' belt**r exercise
than the nonsense lhe\'re handing out in

The main objection raised was the
apparent lack of practicality. "Who

F'ifteen fraternities and the Garfield
Club, acting to reduce board expenses,
assured the establishment of a Campus
Business Management at Williams Col-
lege last weekend b>' their unanimous
approval of the proposal of the Inter-
fraternity Committee. Fred E. Linder
'12, chairman of the graduate organiza-
tion, has indicated that ininiediale steps
for the formation of graduate, under-
graduate and joint councils will be taken,
and that the system will be in operation
on or shortly after March 1.
Linder 'Gratified'
Mr. Linder, a weekend visitor in Wil-
liamstown, expressed his compU-te con-
fidence in the cooperative management
I)lan. and said, "I was gratified at the
favorable respimse of the fraternities to
Campus Business Management. I had
hoped cooperative buying wnulil be a
unanimous effort."

End of an Era
Witli .sonit' rduclaucc, our sixteen conservative social unit.s have
ended an ei'a of nonchalant extravagance. Faced with rising board hills,
deercu-scd ineinher.ship, and lack of continuity in hookkceping and
management, our fraternities have sensibly decided to adopt Campus
Business Management to help in.siire their own survival, and to insure the
financial welfare of Williams College.
To (he alunmi, the college reiterates its sincere appreciation for the
splenilid work they have done in evolving the Cooperative Management
plan. Anil to the Williams social units which have at last abandoned
their conservative distrust of positive action, sensible men everywhere
will ex])ress a])proval today, and during the days of economy and pro-
gressive change which lie ahead.
57-53, 46-43, 49-36
These three scores, symbols of Williams' two victories over Wesleyau
and of last Saturday's triiunj)h over Amherst, do more than indicate that
this college has ii strong chance of winning its first Little Three basketball
title since 193.'}. These three scores indicate that something has hapi)cned
to A\'illiams ba.sketball which is worth understanding and jircserving.
Last Novenibcr Coach Dale Burnett started oft' the 1941-42 campaign
witli a sqiuul of loyal, hfird-working men from whom nobody cx])ectc(l
more than an average record. Burnett's innovation of a Christmas trij),
although it resulted in only one win, proved its financial feasibility by
netting a S39 i)i'ofit for the Athletic Association, and more than paid for
it.se]r in tjie experience and conditioning gained by the .squad. Last
Satui'day all Williams men realized they had a ha.sketball team trained
scientifically to make the most of its natural al)ility — a team remarkable
for its cooperativcness and cool strategy.
The eoachinfi of Dale Burnett, the Christmas tri]), the unsliiitini;
effort of llio Williams .sfpiad are mostly ix".s])oiisible for last Saturday's
victory in Laseil Gym. But the eajjable cheer leaders and the over-
whelming supixirt accorded them by the Williams supporters contributed
nnich to that l'J-.'56 .score — a fact Coach Burnett him.self was the first to
acknowledge. Consetiuently the sui)])ort given (he team at Amheist
tomorrow will have much weight in deteriniiig whether Williams is to
win a Little Three title outright, or merely to in.sure itself of a two-w.ay tie.
In view of all this, the irresponsible, unsporlsinaniike conduct of
alioiit twelve Williams men last Saturday is doubly unfortunate. Their
hootinii and razzing left many ahnnni and gue.sts with a false im])ression
of what goes on at a Williams athletic contest. Furthermore, their in-
excu.sable lack of decency annoyed most of the other spectators, and
•spoiled for many one of the best games any Williams ba.sketl;all team has
ever played. Uotli the alunuii and Amherst College nuist realize how
completely the conduct of these twelve undergraduates is regretted and
dc])lore<l iiy every fair-minded member of this college.
These irresjionsible few must not prevent Williams from realizing
the true significance of last Saturday's winning condiination of team,
coach, and suiiporlers. Last Saturday ])roved that the Williams brand
of unsiibsidized, uni)rofessionalized athletics can pay excellent dividends
in terms of good .sportsmanship on the part of the majority and in terms
of spectacular, well-played games.

Letter to Editors
Notices
When The Recoud went to press, those
in the iiifirniary were: ChalTee, Hendrie

and Collier '45.
To the Editors of The Record:
This communication is an open invita-
tion to any and all Williams men to drop
down here over the weekend of March 6,
7, and 8. This time, however, it isn't a
football or basketball contest, but our
main social event of the year, THE
VICTORY PROM, dedicated as you
have dedicated your dances, to the whole-
hearted raising of funds for the national
victory cfTort.
If those of you having bids for the
annual .Smith Spring Dance are planning
on a perfect weekend, drop down a bit
early on Friday night. From 8 p. m.
until 1 a. m. we're presenting Raynu)nd
Scott and His Orcheslia, featuring Doro-
thy Collins antl Uilh l.eai'h, vocalists, and
Jinuuie Muclntyre, dancer-comedian.
.Scott lias been chosen as the Coca Cola
Spotlight HantI for that evening, and will
broadcast from the Prom at 9:30 p. m.
over a national hookup.
In addition, there'll be a milk bar, Coca
Cola bar, and the ever-welcome wassail
bar as well. There will be ample rcjom in
our fraternities for any who wish five
accunimodations over the weekend.
This will be our In'st open and anrmiil
dance. Ticket prices arc not prohibitive
— three dollars plus tax for couples or
stags. Last year it was exactb' twice that.
In addition, the Mastjuers are giving
The Girl of the Golden West, which will
be an enjoyable performance. On Satur-
day, if you're not going over to Smith,
we'll be plaj'ing Wesleyan in the last
basketball game of our season.
So whether you're coming down for
Spring Dance, or just for a Holyoke or
Smith date — drop around and join the
group. You'll be sincerely welcome.

Tankmen Upset Brown,
42-33, in Pool Saturday
Purple Attacks Wesmen
in Initial Little 3 Tilt
^Cheorud cm by an alumni-piicked
gallery, the Williams swiinmers vati-
(liiished the Brown mermen last Saturday,
42-33, ill a warmup for the Wesleyan meet
tomorrow. Strongest combination in the
water was the team of Sam Bacon and Len
Katon, free style distance swimmers, who
])laced one-two in both their events.
In the 220-yard freestyle. Bacon luid a
pool's length between himself and the
nearest Brown man, while Eaton was but
ten yards behind the winner. Again in
the 440-yard event, the Williams distance
ace churned out a lead of ,50 yards over
Hac^tzhold, with Eaton midway between
them.
Backstroke Clean-up
The backstrokers. Bill Budge and Ross
MacDonald, had their first clean-up of the
.season. Budge answered his teammate's
early bid for the lead on the fourth length
and pulled ahead to win easily,
Surprise of the day was the victor)' of
Jerry 'I'ravers in the dive. Threatening
mildly for several weeks, he riiially nosed
out Ernie Selvage as well as the Providence
entry, Gossler. A disappointment was
I )oiin Early's anchor lap of the medley.
Though he won in fast time, the effort so
lired him that he was out-classed in both
freest\'le dashes. In his lirst varsity 50-
\ard race, Sam Maples took a second
behind Brown's Ik-rn.
Stern Opposition
Hob Muir's squad will be up against
>|{'rner opposition when they dive into
I'ayerweather Pool tomorrow afternoon.
Co-captain Sam Bacon will have his hands
full with Cardinal Captain Stu Hinrichs
in the distance features, while the Purple's
cither star, Donn Early, will he making the
spray fly to keep ahead of Kaninier in the
sprints. On the books, the Wesmen are
tough; hut Muir bases his hopes on a
perfect performance all the way around
and a careful allocation of resources.

A. D. Quintet Takes Hoop
Title, Tops Betes, 17-12
Sweeping over all opposition without
the h)ss of a game in league A competition,
the Alpha Dclt cagers went on to capture
yesterday's play-olT battle with the Beta
Theta Pi's to the score of 17-12. Tliu
Betes, leaders in league B, although
lighting gamely, found their style of play
no match for the steam-roller tactics of
the winners.
Freshman Tom Hoover, of the Alplia
Delt team, led the scoring with seven
points. The Bote's George Bryan and
Ben Duke were leaders for their team with
live markers apiece.
With the football, swimming, and
basketball now completed, the intra-
mural standings show the Theta Delts,
with 34 points, holding a slim margin over
the Beta Theta Pi's 3i. Close' on the
heels of the leaders are the D. U's. with
32 points and the Delta Phi's, football
winners, with 30.
\'olleyball starts next week, while the
squash, handball, golf, tennis, and skiing
crowns are still in the process of being
decided.

Williams Six Splits

Skaters Trounce Tech,
Press Vaunted Indians
in Best Game of Year
Displaying its best hockey to date,
Whoops Snively's 1942 team closed its
home season this week 1j\- breaking even
in two hard-fought contests. Last Satur-
day the E|)h unit took the M. I. T. six into
camp, 6-1, and Wednesday it battled
Darlniouth's all-contiuering .sextet des-
perately before succumbing, 7-1. They
wind up their scheduli' tomorrow when
they journey to Clinton, New York, to
meet a stnmg Hamilton outfit.
Ephs Aggressive
I he Indians were hard-pressed to
register their fifteenth straight win. In
the first period the advantag;e, if any, was
with the aggressive Ephs, who forced the
play with a four-man offense. The
Pui'ple narrowl\' missed several chances
to score, as Kittredge and Paj-son sparked
drives that kept the puck inside the Dart-
riKuUh blue line for most of the period.
Midway through the period Roewer tallied
from point-blank range, after eluding the
Purple defense.
The second period was another story
as the Hanover skaters showered a hail of
pucks on Marsh Hannock. Time and
again superior speed and stick-handling
brought the visitors to the very edge of the
crease before they fired, but the Eph
captain smothered all but four of the
Indian attempts in a sensational display
of goal-tending.
Nichols Scores
Dartmouth scored once at the outset of
the ihirtl period and again when Harrison,
who had been held scoreless up to that
time, counted on a long .screen shot. From
there on, the Ephs took charge, and
Nichols linally beat Hayes, the visiting
goalie, with a hard drive. Pressing right
to the end, Ted Brown, who had teamed
magniricenlly with Hill Coulter on the
defense, drilled a shot for one corner of the
cage that Hayes just got his glove on.
Against M. I. T. on Saturday Bob
Kittredge pulled the hat trick when he
dented the cords three times on solo
dashes. Their attack muzzled in the
opening period b) an alert Tech defense,
the Purple stickmen broke loose with four
counters in the middle .stanza, led b\'
Payson's earl\- talK . .\\\ in all, the first
line was responsible for fi\'e of the six Eph
markers, as the sextet chalked up its
third victory.
Peck Outlasts Borck
ToWinN.E.I.A.A.600
Capt. Warner Peck of the indoor track
team came within a half-second of equaling
the existing track record in the New
England Inter-Collegiate A. A. trackmeet
at Tufts last Monday, when he won the
60()-yard dash from a held of brilliant
performers, in 1:15. Howie Borck, former
Indoor mile and half-mile Inter-Collegiate
Champion, pressed him in the final drive
down the backstretcb, but Peck fought
him off.
Coach Plansky plans to run Peck next
in the 1. C. 4-A Champion.ships which will
be held next weekend in Madison Square
Garden. He will probably run the 600
again. Still suffering from a bruised
ankle sustained while playing basketball,
Brew Chapman may not be in shape to
run the 1000-yard race.
Also representing Williams at Modford
last Monday were Al Hearne who com-
peted in the shot-put and Maurice Good-
body who ran the 1000.
With the I. C. 4-A meet next weekend,
the indoor track season ends for the Wil-
liams squad. Next week the spring
trackmen go into training. Williarus has
been undefeated in spring track duel meets
for four years.

Chaffeemen Score, 9-0,
In Little Three Opener
Purple Stops Cardinals,
Losing Only 3 Games
Coach Clarence Chaffee's squash leani
opened its drive for Little Threecliampion-
ship honors at Middlelown Wednesday
when it drubbed a weak Cardinal sciuad,
9-0, after losing to Harvard before a
homecoming weekend crowd, 6-3, last
.Saturday. Although weakened b\- the
absence of Bob Mendrie, captain and
number one man, the Purple ractpjetmen
gave their Little Three rivals only three
games during the entire match.
Bill Schmidt, playing in the one spot,
upset Musil in straight games, but the
Cardinals' number twcj man Marsh ex-
tended Dude Hemphill to four games
before losing, 15-12, 12-15, 15-11, 15-11.
Pod Hunt, playing number three man
Wilson, prevailed in straight games, and
Al MauUby trounced Cornwall, lS-6,
15-6, 15-12.
Uave Peet recovered form after losing
the first game and went on to topple
li>waler, ,1-1, Mike Griggs took the
nu'asure of VVesleyan's Hronson in three
games, and Ka\' Ashley laced the Cardinal
number sevi'u man, 15-1, 15-11, 15-5.
Kaye Woodin downed number eight
man Molina, 15-8, 14-17, 15-10, 1.5-9, and
Ury Bostwick turned back \'osburgh in
straight games.

the Innclieon roster.
Just Starting
"I don't wint to iinpross yon tliat evcry-
tliiiig is going fine — cvurythinK isn't,"
Col. Creeiibiuiiu s-aid, "but tlie fact is
tliat the production program as a whole is
moving along despite our previoiislethurgy.
We arc iust starting. Afler 7.'; days of
war, we already hear despair. What kiml
of people are we?"
The speaker uiaiiUained that we must
briug into play immediately and iiniiniui-
ously all the forces that have nuide our
country what it i.'^, and enipluisizeil that
liberty is not a heritage but a fresh con-
fpie.st for each generation.
, "What will happen dnring the coming
year is up to the enemy — but not only
lip to the enemy," he declared. "We too
have :i lot to sa>- about what is going to
happen. It is up to us."
SPRING SPORTS
(Continued from page 1)
ihat the games woidd prol)ably have to he
arranged as opporlunilies came up. How-
ever, a tentative game with Amherst is
set for July 4. Local industrial teams will
proliably proviile some of ihe opposition,
he atldetl.
Hardest hit of the spring sports is
tennis, which had its entire schedule wiped
out by the action of other colleges "trying
to cut down on their athletic budgets,"
according to Mr. Oslerhiiul. However,
the chances are ihat a full scheilule will be
arranged for the sunnner months.
Golf Team
The golf team, its schedule slashed from
an original ten matches, will take part in
the IntercolleKiates to be held at Woieesin •
April 24 and 2S. Me<lal play will be lu.y
on the 24th, and the two lowest senrers
will play olT for the title on the 2.Slh.

Now Eligible
With the close of the first semester,
\'iilliani G. Perry, A.ssistant to the Dean,
'" :v.in a survey to discover to what extent
•'■'■ individual instruction in study methods
'' "I helped students who came to him for
II distance during the last term. His
nport, presented to the Trustees b>- the
l*'an in February, disclosed encouraging
li-'Ults.
I 'esigned to help not onh' poor sludents,
''III men with high I. Q. ratings who have
ilill'iculty studying efficiently, Mr. Perry's
mil iluring the last semester was on a
ii'iiiplelely voluntary basis. During the
'iiih-\'ear eighty-three students requested
''lip, and received it in the form of 1.58
piivate appointments with the Deanis
•'\i-sistant. Among these by far the
I Kiialer number were fresliiiien, although
I I'll four classes were represented.
' I'PircIassmen are encouraged to make
iilMiointmenls.
Comparative Grades Available
Most students appealed to Mr. Perry
'ill advice at a time when their grades were
I lulling. For 61 of the 83 men, figures
comparing their marks at the time when
they sought help and at the end of the
semester are available. These figures
represent only the courses in which the
students received advice, and it can safely
be assumed that the gains shown here
were reflected, in a great nian\' cases, in
other courses.

In other words, the grades ro.se in 3 of 4
cases. These results were obtained through
an avei-age of two conferences, iir about
40 minutes of instruction per student.
The work is being conlinued this semes-
ter, and a derniite alleinpt is being made
to Jielp >!oo<l students who wish to improve
their cfTiciency in college work. In this
manner, the work is a strong corollary to
the reading courses organized last Novem-
ber, and being continued this semester.
The Williams (|uota for the Reserve
Officer Procurement. 11. S. Marine Corpus
plan has been raised to include eight
seniors, six juniors. si.x scphomcies. and
six freshmen, it was announced yesterdav.
According to a letter received by Pio-
fessnr Nelson S. Bushnell, Marine Corps
intermediary here, 2nd Lieutenant .Arthur
P. Bretherick will return to Williainstown
to interview additional candidates from
March 21 to 2.S.
The previous (|Uota issued for Williams
hiid provided for eight seniors, six juniors,
and three .sophomores. Lieutenant Breth-
erick, who interviewed candidates here
several weeks ago, will give physical ex-
aminations and interviews to new appli-
cants and will examine those who have
already applied.
The Marine Corps provitles one of the
few remaining plans whereby college stu-
dents can ap|)ly for officers' training after
completion of the regular four-year course.
Ptofessor Bushnell emphasized, and those
accepted will he placed in the officers'
training course ininiediHtely upon gradua-
tion.
.Additional information regarding the
I-.lan may be obtained either from Pro-
fessor Bushnell or the Placement Uuroau.

Purple Key Expands,
Creates New Posts
Purple l\e\' Presidi'iil Charles II. lower
'42, announced this week the culmination
of plans fornuilaled earlier this winter for
the .idmission of sophomores to full
mi'mbership in the managerial organi-
zation. M the sami' time Tower reporteil
that the position of assislani manager had
been abolished in all sports, and to take
its place the post of associate niaiiager had
been created.
The new position, that of associate
manager, is to be awarded to the second
man in the competition that determines
the manager. This move was necessi-
tated by the fact that under the three-
year course, the normal progression from
compel to assistant manager to manager
is impossible. If the manager leaves
college, ihe associate manager would then
take ovi'r. Otherwise he pirtorms the
same duties as the assistant manager has
in the past.
All sophomores who would imniially be
entitled to membership nexl fall will be
a<lmilled at the next meeting, and the
plan for associate managers will go into
efTi'Cl with the spring sports. Tower said.
At the same lime Purple Key determined
to reduce the amounl of work involved in
the competitiims lo accommodate them to
the accelerated program.

In a sens.itional sweep, the Williams
swimmers completely swamped Wesleyan
in Middletown la.st Saluriliiy, grabbing
eight out of nine Tirst places, estahlishing
a new Williams record for the dive, and
piling up a score of ${)-!$. With pre-nieet
odds slightly in favor of the Cards, the
rout came as a complctr upset for the
home team.
Spark of the attack was Cu-captaiii .S.ini
Bacon, who after taking the lead turned
over lo him hy Ross MacDonald and
Art VVrighl in the opening nu'dley and
converting it into the lirst victory of the
day, rushed down the pool in the next

took over the Cardinal caiHiiin by a com-

Selvage Sets Record
Far outstripping the ojiposit ion, ICrnie
.Selvage and teammali- Jerry Travers
copped Un- diving htmors. Selvage's
score of 96 . 9 will be listed as a Williams
College record under the new eight-dive
regulations. Travers in second place was
within one point of the winner.
Slated to find uphill swininiing against
the highly touted Kamnier, leader in the
Wesleyan sprints, Purple Co-captain Don
Karly answered by forcing his wa\' past
the Cardiii.l1 speedster in the .SO-\iird as
well as the 10l)-\ard events. Hill Budge

Another Year, Another Council
A year ha.s jiassetl .since the 19'41-12 Undergraduate Council i)er-
fornied it.s first duty by electing unusually capable men to be its officers
During that year the U. C. lias urged locking dormitory rooms;
has unanimously endorsed W. C, A. clothes drives; has clarified the
"spirit" of college driving rules; has considered enforcement of fresh-
man rules; has directed war relief donations; has mafic a))pointinents to
push the .sale of U. S. defen.sc bonds; has .supervised class elections; has
"revealed" hou.se ])arty regulations (spring); has directed ru.shing; has
"re-revealcd" house party regulations (fall); has rai.sed the annual tax on
each of the sixteen social units from $30 to $.35.
Only twice duriiig that year did tlie U. C. come near winning cain|)us
vide re.s])cct ])y a ])ositive act of leadership. But in both atteinjjts, tlic
U. ('. failed.
First, in late October the Council failed to take a positive .stand on
driving in Williamstown, desjiite the fact tliat the faculty had lieen
im])ressed by the U. C.'s previous enactment and enforcement of a no-
drive-in-town rule. It took three declarations of war against the United
States to convince the Council that the no-drivc-in-town rule .should be
reado])ted. Second, in early fall, the U. C, failed to recon.sider the
enforceuient of freshman rules, despite the fact that the Junior Advi.sers,
to whom the Council delegated its authority over the freshmen, were un-
able to enforce the rules effectively.
The di.sapi)oiiiting record of the retiring Council was jji-obalily cau.sed
by three I'acis: (1) t lie average Council uieinher's belief tliiit he was elect e<l
merely to reflect I lie opinion ol' others rather than to he a leader of opiniim
himself; (2) the indifferent attitude towards the future of student govern-
ment which was held liy many uiulergraduates; and f.']) the uncertainty
of the Ctniiieil as to the extent to which it wi.shcd to govern.
The new Council cannot ho])e to .secure jxiwer over the college's
driving rules or over .some plia.ses of college disci])linary action until it
demonstrates its eaiJability and initiative to the trustees and faculty.
The new Undergraduate Council can, however, lead the fratc-iiities
ill di.scussiiig their |)roblenis of scholarship, hell week, and finance; il can
investigate the whole iiroblein of Amherst-Williains athletic relations,
and .sui)i)ort llie Purple Key in its drive to i)iit these relations on a healthier
basis; it can find out what hai)i)eiie(l to the proposed faculty lecture series
on the war, and can make certain this .series is soon forthcoming: it can
pass judgement on the stndent-farni jiroject recently ])re.senled by local
officials; it can lead the college in contributing blood to the Blood Service
of the American Red Cross.
These are lint a few of the jjo.sitive .stejjs which the new U. C. mu.st
take if it wishes to lay the foundations for more effective, nuire compre-
hensive stuilent government in months to come.
Letter to Editors
To the Kililnrs of Thk I<p:coiiD:
The unfortunate incidents wliich took
place -It Amtierst tist Saturday were dis-
liearti'iiing and ilisappointinj; to tliose
who h'lve felt tlvit the Amherst-Will ianis
rivalry is an important, worthwhile factor
in the traditions of the two colleges. This
tradition has Invn liuilt u|) in over fifty
years of athletic coin]ietition hetwoen
the two colleges, ami it has niennt in the
past, as indeed it does today, a great deal
to the social background o[ both institu-
tions.
Hut it is not a tradition of rivalry alone
that has grown up o\-er these intiny \'cars.
Along with the competition has developed
slowly and sonietinies painfully, to he sure,
an entire code of conduct, a means of
judging what conduct is acceptable and
what conduct is not. This code has be-
come an integral part of our tradition just
as it has become an integral part of the
Amherst tradition. In fact it has always
been an important part of any lon^; stand-
ing college rivalry, and in many ways it
is the most important part.
Tlinnighout the history of the Amher.st-
VVilliams rivalry there have been many
times when these relations June been
strained, sometimes to the breaking point,
because the traditions of sportsman.ship
and good taste which ha\'0 grown up with
the rix-alry itself are temporarily forgotten.
Saturday night was such an ocaision.
It is (lifiicult to determine who was re-
sixinsiljle for the bad feeling which came
to the surface at this particular time, nor,
fundaincntally speaking, is it important
oi e\-eii desirable that an attempt be made
to find where the trouble started. The
really important thing is that, whatever
the iniiiiediate causes may have been, the
situation which arose was a nasty, dis-
agreeable affair, disagreeable to those
actually involved, to the spectators, and
to both colleges !is a wliolc.
If this were an isolated instance, it
might possihl\- be ascribed to the peculiar
circumstances which surround a close,
exciting game and could easily he for-
gotten. Unfortun.Uely, Imwcver, this does
not seem to l)e the case. leather than
being an isolated incident, this discourag-
ing affair was indicative of a fundamental
attitude, an attitude of inutiiul mis-
understanding and mistrust which has
increasingly domiinted Amherst-Williams
athletic relations during the past few years.
With the introduction of this mistrust
and niisimderstanding much of the spirit
of good sportsmanship and good taste
has heeii allowed to fall by tlic wayside.
Precisely where the causes of this invidious
trend lie is a dillicull question. Uiidouht-
edl>- there are a variety of factors involved,
and probably an eipial share of the blame
falls to the various elements in each
college. But whale\er the causes may he,
the results are only too obvious, and,
moreiner, they ha\e given rise to a good
many erroneous im|)ressions as to what
the character of the Amherst-Williams
relaiions should be.
In the first |)lace a good nviny people
ha\e come to feel that cmnnion ci\'ility
ami respect for the other team are in-
consistent with a really keen athletic
rivalry, that \ou cannot have both. If
this were true, it would seive as a severe
indictment of intercollegiite athletics as
they are organized in .iXmerica today, and
in addition it would pro\ide those who are
continuall)- attacking the intercollegiate
athletic system with an excellent argumeiit
for its abolition. But luckily this is not
the case. \\m can have keen, virile
competition and still adhere to the tra-
ditions of sportsmanship and mutual re-
spect which are a part of the background
of each college. This is neither idealistic
speculation nor wishful thinking. It is
fact and it has been proven to be so.
Again, some |)cople protest that adher-
ence to such a strict code, assuming for
the moment that it is strict, takes all the
fun out of the game both for the players
and for the spectators. They suggest
that some of the actions and attitudes
which ha\-e tended to develo|) are really
a part of tlie game itself. Obviously, it
is difficult in many cases to draw an accur-
ate line and to say with an\- degree of
precision that this is acceptable conduct
while something else is not. Mere again,
howe\-er, it is not the particular action
which is important; rather, it is the spirit
in which it is carried out, and most of us,
if we accept the basic standard, know when
that standard has been \-ioIated. whoever
may be the offender.
These are two of the misconceptions
which ha\e given rise to the poor relations
which undeniably do exist today. That
thev do exist and that they should con-
tinue to exist is an alisurd, demoralizing
situation. A good many of the under-
graduates in l)(]th colleges, especially many
of those who participate in athletics, real-
ize this fact as iudi\iduals; \et because of a
\-.iriet.v of circumstances they find theni-
s;lvos conip'lk'd to rcc-i'.i :in attitude
which they realize to be both fdl.riuu...
and destructive.
If we permit this situation to continue,
we are not only creating an entirely wrong
set of \-alucs for those who p:irticip;ite in
the athletic ss'stem but we are also s.".cri-
ficing a rich and \'ital element in the Ijaek-
ground of the two colleges, the Amherst-
Williams rivalry. This rivalry has meant
a good deal to both colleges in the pist,
and much of this meaning comes not from
the conip.'iiition itself Init from the ira-
diiion of gocd taste which h-s ,,r( »v :i up
with it. H(/i;h ere worch kee|ji'ig. lun one
h;:s n.-i ni..v.ning without the other. It is
better that we do awav with the entire
tradition if we are not willing to make the
effort necessary to carry it on in the only
spirit which can give it this legitimate
ineaiiing.

(liditors' note: — ll'c agree comptetrly with
Reader Tower. Those of us who Ihink thai
good sportsmanship is incompatible with a
hard-fought, close rivalry, those of us who
believe that a win over Amhtrsi justifies
any action on the part of spectators should
reconsider, and reconsider before the Wil-
liams-Amherst rivalry is jeopardised.
Reader Tower stated in a footnote to
his letter tluit these opinions are his own,
and "do not necessarily represent those of
the Purple Key or the Athletic Associa-
tion.")

Jr., son of the Holh wood humorist.
The draft and enlistments at VVesleyan
have been so extensive as ti> allow the
college authorities to evacuate Graduate
Hall entirely, and one half of Foss Hall.
This exodus is the result of 67 departures
frtnn the student body since the outbreak
of the war in December.
A rise in food prices with a special rate
for extra orders was put into effect in
Cambridge early last week. While the
Lampoon declared it woitUI "raise cain" to
alleviate any sugar shortage, signs ap-
peared in I'nion Hall the night before the
zero hour urging the students lo "Eat

Enforce 'Air Raid' Rules
by NioN R. TucKKu, Jii. '44
The new whistk' on tlu' liualinf; plant,

c.ir sirens will sound in Willianistown as
■iroel, store, home, and colle)j;e lights go

ounty's first lest blackout. Student
■.aniens, sworn in this week by Chair-
dan W'inthrop H. Root of the College
Conniiittee t)n Co-operation with the
.'Sational Defense Program, will go to their
|iiis(s in the college dormitories and build-
ings for the duration of the twenty minute
'raid."
Token Raids
Though VVilliamstown'b chances of
l.cing bombed are not high, Professor Sam
;\llen, local head of the Air Kaid Prc-
iiution Committee, pointed out that if
iliere are token raids on the Allanlic
(oast, escaping enemy planes ma\' drop
iliiir loads over North Adams and the
lullege community, particularly with the
important Boston and Maine trunkline
1 nnning through this valley. In additi(jn,
he added, "An\' community working lo-
ij( ther is important, and has great value
Ml morale and defense work."
Students hearing the warnings should
inrn out all lights, including flashlights
.md candles, and refrain from lighting
( igarettes unless in a light protected room.
No one but the officials, wearing the
WILLIAMS COLI.EC.K A. K.'P. badges
on their lapels will be allowed out of the
liiiijrlini;.- Others found on the '^Irei'ts
will be subject to arrest and fine.
Exceptions to this county-wide li'st
blackout, will be the industrials on dc-
lense work who will not be renuired to
rxlingnish all lights, but may test their
lir-raid provisions at this lime. Airway
iiid railroad signals will be left on, al-
ilioiigh all station and yard lights will be
iinned olT or hooded.
Whistle Gives Signal
When ihe four short blasts of the warn-
ing whistle are heard, ihe post-wardens
will report to their stations all over the
i.injpus. They will be identified by
ni.uiilla badges issued them when they
k the OCU oath this week. These

Trust-Busier Arnold
Talks Sunday Night
On Free Enterprise
Thurnian -Arnold, famed assistant attor-
ney general of the United States, will speak
on "Free Enterprise During the War and
After" next Sunday in Chapin Hall at
7:45 p. m. Mr Arnold, who comes to
Willianistown under the auspices of the
Williiims Lecture Coniniittee. heads the
Department of Justice's anti-trust division.
A "big name" who combines vast legal
and political experieiue with a forceful,
energetic personality, 'I'hurman Arnold is
expected to draw the largest audience of
any Willianistown lecturer this year. His
prosecution of the Aluminum Company of
America, which was recently decided
against the government, has been his
most publicized attempt at trust-busting
to date.
While a member of the faculty of the
Yale Law School, Mr. Arnold published
his best-selling Folklore of CiipiUilism, an
ironic characterization iif the political and
economic "myths" of .American demo-
cratic thought. Tliis hook, which also
contains a bitter picture of the law pro-
fession, lias fre(|uently been a re(|uired
text in Williams political seiemx- and
economics courses.

Uobert li. Kittredge 'M, president of the
''r.dergraduate Council, .;.-.nouiiced Tues
day the appointment of six student com-
mittees of the U. C. .At the same time,

Individual House Dances
There will be Saturday night dances in

be taken as to cors.iges, although nothing
definite has vet been decided. These

Bloodthirsty Five

"ips Caldwell, Dirty Dick Coiman,
docker Simmons, and Trip-cm-up Thoms
are names that command the respect of
hoop adicls everywhere.
.Success has crowned the efforts of the
outfit ever since its formation in 1937.
As Coiman puts it: "We have never lost
a game although we were robbed on
several occasions."
Referees are conspicuous by their
absence at Pelican encounters, and in all
cases of dispute, the Pelicans arbitc.
Close games have been known to last as
long as two hours, but always terminate
abruptly when the Pelicans go out in front.
No Holds Barred
Basketball, as played by this quintet, is
hardly a non-contact sport, and rules that
prohibit blocking, pushing, charging, hip-
ping, hacking, and gouging are wisely
dispensed with. Physical prowess is at a
premium, and the finer nuances of the hoop
sport, such as dribbling, and helping the
opposition off the floor, are lost in basket-
ball a In Pelican.
Although they haveas yet been unable
to schedule the House of David or the
Globe Trotters, the Pelicans are supremely
confident of their .superiority. "Dem

With the first of these goals already

next Axis step would be towards joining
forces in the Middle East. Continuing,
he says, "due to climate, material, and

The K.xcciitive ( 'oniniittoe is dotermined "to load the undergraduate
l)ody in a year-loiif; drive to make student government .something more
than a inytii at Williams College." To achieve this goal, the Connnittce
should stir np inlere.st among the student body for a larger, more forceful
voice ill college affairs; it should fight the antipathy of Hopkins Hall
ofKcials toward student government; it shouUl do everything within it.s
power lo help Williams successfully cope with the technological deinaiuLs
of war.
The new I'. C.'.s action in ap|)roving a modified .spring hou.se jiarly

itself to make availat)lc for the college a faculty lecture series on the war,
also show.s iiroinise of being an influential organization. The under-

SCHUMAN
(Continued from page 1)
aggression pact with Ciermany last June
would probably foretell an invasion of that
state if Hitler's general stafT found it
advisable.
I'illing back in his swivel chair, No. 3
Dewey House, Mr. Schuman goes on to
reveal his expectations as to the third
member of the Axis. "It is unlikely that
the next Japanese move will be an all-out
attack on Auslralia, ralhei- it will be a
drive on India to make a junction wilh
Hitler." Although he makes no pre-
dictions about Axis success in Ihe Medi-
lerraneaii area, I'rofcs.sor .Schuman fore-
casts that Ihe "Japs will he at the gates of
Calcutta by the first of May."
'I'urning to the Russian front, Mr.
.Schuman declares, "To remove the danger
of a succi'ssfnl Gcrnian counter-attack,
Russia must, in the next six weeks, gain
control of Ihe Leningrail, .Smolensk, and
Kharkov regions — I think Ihe Red Army
will do it." Continuing in his character-
istic precise maimer of speech, he says,"We
alwa\s come back lo the fact that the long-
run chances of the .Allies depend primarily
on Russia's holding oul I his year. If
I hey don't, the cost of winning in terms of
tinie, n«)ney, and blood would be so
enormous as to be bev'oiid realization."
Mr. Schuman's llKuighlson Ihe current
"tloniinion stains for India" question are
f a pessimistic nature, lie asserts that
promises won't sulVice. He suggests that
ihe sending of Sir SlalTord Cripps to India
foretells many months spent in discussion
lo iron out (liiricullies — time that should
have been speiil before, when Britain
could afTord it.

would play in this patriotic effort.
THIS VEAR, with eighteen or twenty men needed in defense industries lo
bact up each fighting man in Uncle Sam's forces and with our country in a
late of wai against ruthless and treacherous aggressors, we have a deep
alisfaction in knowinq that —
1. Our employees are skilliul, well-trained men and women, many of
whom have spent the greater part of iheii lives in our service.
2. Our employees know their jobs thoroughly and have a deep
sense of responsibility as to their carts in the National
Defense Program.
3. The physical properties these employees operate are in
good order.
4. Our employees, as soldiers of industry, have a vitally important
job in supplying indispensable materials to the armed forces

Norwich I'niversity's ace Mizzey Barher
by the discouraKin^;ly slim margin of six
tenths of a point.
Leads until Jump
In the three events preceding the jump.
Brown raced home to lake third in the
slalom, third in ihe cross-country, and
second in the downhill. At this point the
stocky Williams star held a nine-point
edge on his closest competitor, but in the
jumping that followed, he had to concede
defeat to Barber.
Accustomed to the 30-meter Sheep Hill
jump, Brown experienced difficulty in
adjusting hinisedf to the 60-meter tower at
Laconia-Cjuilford. His first take-ofT was
good lor 49 metres, but on the second and
crucial leap, he faltered and marked up
only 41. This second jump probably cost
him the meet, as Harlier, who is a nation-
ally known jumper, took first place to his
eighth.
Brown's versatility has made him a
consistent scorer throughout the skiing
season, and he has amassed more points
in competitive contests than any other
member of the varsity squad.

The events included a round robin
dclrate in the afternoon on the question,

A Series for Underclassmen
Heginniiig with this issue, Tuk Rkcoud will publish a .series of
articles on the curriculum designed .s])ecifically to aid freshmen and
sophomores in .selecting courses and majors. This series will evaluate
the ((uality of instruction offered by each department, and will comment
on the strength and weakness of .sequence courses from a strictly under-
graduate point of view. Today's article on page three rei)orls the
o])inions which men majoring in history have expressed concerning their
field of concentration.
The editors of The Rkcoud a.s.sume full responsibility for the views
pul)liei/ed in this .s<-ries. The material utilized in the articles comes
from interviews with responsible undergrachiates who have taken the
courses they are asked to evaluate. Freshmen and .sophomores arc
advised to eonsull the College Catalogue now on hand at the Dean's
Office and to see their faculty advisers for official remarks on the cur-
riculum. I'lidergradiiatcs or faculty members who wish lo comment
on any I)arl of this series are urged to write the editors.
These articles have a fourfold pjirjjo.se: 1) to stir ii]) underclass interest
ill all |)hases of the W^illiams curriculum, and to start freshmen an<l
sophomores thinking about the cour.ses they wi.sh to take next .semester;
2) to give various students a method for registering their di.saijproval of a
course without resorting to cutting; 3) to ])rc.sent faculty members with
student opinions on their cour.ses and on their methods of instruction;
and t) to air all curricular iirohlenis and lo ])iiblish all constructive
.solutions to those problems at a time when war is challenging the Williams
liberal arts tradition.
The editors hoiie this fourfold purijo.se will result in an increa.sed
studenl awareness of the imi)ortaiice of liberal arts during wartime, and
ill an active, campus-wide effort to continue the constructive progress
which has won for the Williams curriculum its present strength an<l rep

twenty minutes in leiiKth, on various
as|)ects of the Allied war effort. Claxton,
liberal member of the Canadian House

Canada in the War"; .Straight, Wash-
ington editor of The New lifpuhlic, has
selected as his subject "The Crisis of the
United Nations."

Thurman Arnold Blasts
Fear of Overproduction
Trust Buster Sees New,
Advanced Technology
The full production caused by this war,
provided it is not concentrated in a few
hands, may solve not only our monopoly
problem, but also the difficulties of our
entire economy. This was the verdict
set down by self-styled "optimist" Thur-
man Arnold, assistant attorney general of
the United States, in Chapin Hall -Sunday.
"Industrialists," the I'lery trust-buster
emphasized, "are afraid to expand now
because of threatened overproduction and
new competition later. Each powerful
organization in our economy is laying its
plans for preservation in an effort to build
a Magiiiol l.inc against the 'inevitable'
post-war depression."
Arnolel pointed out that monopolies
holding patent licenses have denied use of
their rights by other firms despite a des-
perate need for expanding their products.
The zinc monopoly, he stressed, has re-
fused to license new firms unless they agree
to go out of business after the war.
But, he said, if defense contracts are
split up, and if economic power is not
concentrated in (he hands of the trusts,
competition will continue after the war
and the stage will be set for a new, more
advanced economy,
"We must," he concluded, "fight for
our economy, and not merely against
Germany, Italy and Japan. And in order
to fight for il, we must first believe in it."
In a move designed to improve fet lint,

week that the annual Lehman Cup
Track meet will take jjlace on March M)
through April 3. Ten events including
the 300 and 440-yard runs, 50 and 100-
\ard dashes, Iwo hurdles, the mile and

The College has recently purchased and
hung in the library-lounge of the Adams
Memorial Theatre several original
sketches by distinguished contemporary
American slagi' designers, t!he President's
Office revealed today. 'The collection
includes the costume design for Horatio
ill Ihiintel and for Lady Capulet in Romeo
and Juliet, lioth done by Jo Mielziner; the
stage design for Corncille's Le Cid by
Donald Oenslager; and the stage design
for Gounod's Faust and Shakespeare's
King, Richard III, done b>- Robert
Edmond Jones.
Upset by Reid of Amherst, Sam Bacon
lost his New England Intercollegiate
Swimming 440-yard championship in
Pratt Pool last Saturda>' but placed
second and third in the 440 and 220.
Ernie Selvage, the other Purple tankman
to qualify for the finals, took fourth behind
Springfield's NEI diving champions.
Bob Hcndrie, Bill Schmidt and Tod
Hunt, second, third and seventh seeded
respectively, paced the way into the
quarter-final round of the college squash
singles championship this week, while
Dude Hemphill, defending champion and
first-seeded, has yet to face Yat Van Mes-
dag in the fourth round.
Malcolm D. Clark '43, Gul editor,
announced this week, that the yearlwok,
due for distribution in April, has already
gone to press. The book, streamlined and
condensed, will feature composite pic-
tures, compressed senior listing, thirty
instead of the usual twelve faculty in-
formals, and will all be enclosed in a new
cover, designed on a war motif,

For vears, tclepluuic eahle lias been hung by sliff wire rings
from its supporling slrantl. But repealed cx|)ansion antl con-
traction caused by temperature change.^ sometimes proved
too much for even the best eabh' sheath. Fatigue cracka
developed near the poles — this meant leaks — possible ser-
vice iiUerru|)lions — expensive repairs.
Reeeully, men of the Bell System developed a machine
that lashes the cable and strand together in such a way that
the concentration of strains near the poles is minimized.
The Cable Lasher has also proved a {;rcal aid in the speedy
inslallalion of some of the new cables needed for airfields,
camps, bases and war factories.
There arc many opportunities in the Bell System for men
with the urge — and the ability — to do a job better than it
has ever been done before.

l«(i Ijesl social studies departments at
Williiins, lias boasted a star-studded

whose lectures an<l conferences contained

'MO is particularh' miss.'d, was a serious
1,1 iw to departmental prestige. The loss
, I Birdsall, whose 7-8 course was one
III the hitihliHhts of the major, and the
partial loss of Newhall, have also hit
ilie department hard. Hut most of the
liistory instructors are "old hands" at
le.u-hin.i;, and it has been the policy of the
ilrpartment to concentrate as manv
(sperienced men as p.issilile in the intro-
ductory courses to relieve the dryness of
the 1-2 material.
In spile of llie losses in personnel llie
scholarly Iradilion of the ileparlmeni still
prevciils, (1)1(1 the intense orguni7.(ilion ((nd
well-inlenrated continuity of Hie major
as (I whole remain nnimpaired.
History 1-2, la-2a
History 1-2 is essentialh a factual
memory course which lays the foundation
for the histor\- major. Although the
material is not stimulalinK. it does pro-
vide a solid foundation foradvancedstudv,
and this broad backjjround is also valuable
in other courses outside the hislor\- major.
The period covered is so extremeh- long
that the total knowledge retained is
neces.sarily sparse and often e.inluserl In
seemingly unrelated details.
The conferences are apt to be dull,
though the\- var\' with the instructor,
Buffinton being specially reconinunded
in 1-2, and Johnson in la-2a. In spite
of their general uni)opularit\-, the regular
police (juizses are valuable asadisciplinary
measure to insure the c;insistent reading
of the assignments so necessarx' in dis-
cussion courses. The infrec|Uent lectures
are of dubious value, seem unrelated to

the suliject matter, and are seldiim dis-
cussed in conference sections.
In History 1-2 Hayes is used as the
onl\- text; the reading is uninterestinj;,
with too little emphasis on cultural and
philosophical trends. Kor this reason
students are ur(,'ed to take la-2a, where
the readinjj is more diversified, and the
course "more advanced in method and
treatment." Kven in la-2a, however,
there is considerahle concentration on a
few books, and Hazen, which is used dur-
ins; the second semester, is an outjiioded
text written before World War I. Kir-
ticularly x.iluable in both courses is the
emphasis on map exercises, but in both
1-2 and la-2a the outside readin(< is loo
detailed and specific for ,so broad a course.
It seems unrelated to class work, and the
onl\' discussion on it is C(nitainetl in the
final examination.
'Most Valuable Course'
'J'liese weaknesses are parlicniarly an-
fortunate in un introductory course, such
as liistory 1-2 or la-2a, hecause they may
iliscoura«e students from pursuinn advanced
work in this department, which is generally
so excellent.
X'oted bj' the class (jf 1941 the most
valuable course in college. History 3-4 is
the re(|uired parallel in the history major.
Keller and Johnson are extremely
interested in making the presentation of
the C(»urse as effectix'e as possible, and
are continually sampling student opinion
to provide a basis for intelligent revision.
Acting on the educational principle of
"rethinking" a course from year to \ear,
they ha\'e recently reorganized the whole
study of American History around the
pivotal years of 1876, I'JOf), 1914-18, and
1020, instead of following the convi'iitional
chronological seciuence.
On the basis of this plan the lectures,
which are lively and to the point, are
descriptive previews of the material to be
developed in detail by the reading.
.Some students feel that the lectures
follow the reading too closely, and suggest
that they shcjuld complement the texts
rather than duplicate them. The reading
is essentially an explanation of the causes
behind the facts des:;ribed in the lectures.
The texts, especialh' Morison and Com-
mager, are.stinnilaling, though Schlesinger
is weak on the World War. The con-
ference discussions are valuable as a means
of correlating the reading and the lectures.
One of the most popular features (if
History 3-4 in the past has been the cjut-
siile reading, where students are permitted
a wide choice of books, and urgeil to
cNcrcise individual initiative and original
thought on their retpiired papers. These
papers, a \aluable learning device, are
detailed supplements to the class study.
Keller and Johnson are more interested
in understanding history than in predict-
ing the future. Their material is par-
ticularh' timely, and they teach America's
past relations with Japan, Great Britain,
and Germany in such a wa\ that the stu-
dent can comprehenil present dcvelop-
jnents.
Johnson reputedly marks a tirade harder
than Keller; some students think he is the
sliffesl marker ' in college. The relations
between both men and their .students are
excellent, and students feel free to call on
either one at any lime to discuss their work.
History 5-6
History S-6, England and the British
Empire (1485-1874), given by Buffinton,
provides some scope for individual origin-
ality, which compensates for the dryness

chance to be kind to your pocket-

in higher mathematics to figure out
you're way ahead at Greyhound's low

of the subject mailer. The conferences
and discu.ssioiis are adei|uale, though not
overly stimulating. They serve generally
as resumes of the material presented in the
lectures, which are exireniely well organiz-
ed, clear, and relevant. Usually three
papeis on biographical material are re-
(|uire<l in which tile student is allowed a
wide choice of topics.
.Assignments are, as in most advanced
history courses, Icnig and the te.xts em-
ployed are rather ponderous, bul the
course is particularh timely and perlineiit
loda\ because it deals ciauprehensiveh'
with the birth anil causal dexclopment of
tile British Faiifiire.
History 19-20
History l9-i(l is a uni(|ue course deal-
ing with "types of re\-olutionary and
e\olutionary transformation", and par-
ticularly under Xewhall the broad general
concepts are einphasi/ed to good advan-
tage. Conducted entirely in conferences,
the discussions occasioiialh' tend tt) be-
come bogged down in details, but the
general emphasis on causal factors pro-
vides a good tie-in with the rest of the
major. It is a course demanding ad-
vanced thinking and it provides scope for
inilividual effort and original thought,
particularh' in the required papers.

Grand Strategy For Allied Nations
Seen As 1942 Offensive Action
Spring Conference Demands Effective
Leaders for Production Initiative
by S.\M HiNTKit '11
The score of national figures highlighliiif!; lii.st weckeiid's Spring Con-
rerciicf on "A (iranii Stralcf,'y for America" reflecled tlie .spirit of tiio
aroti.setl and iiiipatioiit pi-ople.s of tlic Uniled Xation.s who are today df-
niandiiig a bold and dynamic leadcr.ship that will sweep away the la.st
col)wel).s of "business as usual" in high places and will carry the fight
into the enemy cam]).
Tlic growing militancy of spirit of a |)c()i)lc who have for more than
two years borne passively the succession of deliiying actions and .strategic
withdrawals that have punctuated the war effort of the anti-Axis coalition
exploded at la.st weekend's two-day parley into an urgent demand for a
I'evoJution in the American and Allied gland strategy that would involve
a seizure of the initiative on the military, economic, and ideological fronts.
I 'True War of Coalition'
On the military front, conference sentiment favored an integration
Jand coordination of the Ignited Nations' war effort for waging globid
I warfare. Max Werner, military expert for tlie Nvu Republic, ex])ressed
majority feeling when he called for an allied strategy of .swift offen.sivc
in a "true war of coalition" with an Anglo-American drive clearing the
.\llantic and <)|)ening a second front on the contineul to divert (ierman
for<'es in Russia and to relea.se the "frozen" Rii.ssian Far J]a.stern army for
iO])erati()ns again.st the Jiipanese in the Pacific theater.
The economic imperatives of victory formulated by the ])roduction
|)anel demanded the re()lacement of the deadwood still in top po.st.s of the
; Washington war organization by a leadership with the courage to make
I (h'cision.s and the resolution to carry them out at whatever co.st to s|)ecial
interests, a leadershii) that would not be reluctant to develop and ad-
niiiii.sler an uncompromising program for mobilizing and converting
.\merioaii inilti.strial ])otenlial to the titanic job of winning the war of
production.
Need For War Aims
And on the ideologictil front conference speakers agreed that the
crying need was for the formulation and exjn'ession on the part of the

Russian War Relief
Committee Sends Food,
Medicine To Help Reds
in Crushing Nazi Power
In an attempt to assist the Russian
people and to develop better relations
between this country and the |i.S.SK, local
townspeople and faculty memtiers have
formed a committee of Russian War
Relief, Inc. Dr. James P. Baxter, 3rd,
liresident of Williams Colle>;e, has accepted
the honorary chairmanship of the com-
mittee while chairman of the local coni-
niittce is Joseph E. Johnson associate
professor of history. Those who thus far
have been appointed to the committee
from Williamstown arc Nelson W. Domin,
treasurer; Mrs. James B. Pratt, Mrs. Roy
Lamson, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. John Allison,
Mrs. S. Lane F"aison, Elmer G. Noble, Rev.
K. B. Blakeney, Mrs. Max Lcrncr, Mrs.
Lawrence H. Blocdel, James M. Burns,
Charles R. Keller, and Frederick R.
Barnes '43, the only undergraduate
representative.
Transportation Free
Russian War Relief, Inc., is a nation-
wide agency created to assist the Russian
people in their resistance to the Nazi
invaders, by sending them essential arti-
cles which they greatly need, such as
medical supplies and instruments, food
concentrates anil clothing. Transporta-
tion is provided without cost to the com-
mittee and with the full cooperation of the
United States shipping authorities.
A secondary goal of the association is
to bring about better understanding
between Americans and Russians, both
for the more effective prosecution of the
war and for better post-war relationships.
The formation of the committee comes at
a particularly appropriate time, in view of
the stress last weekend's conference at
Williams placed on the necessity of under-
standing Russia and living with the USSR.
Among the well-known sponsors and
endorsers of Russian War Relief, of which
Dr. Serge Koussevitsky is honorary chair-
man in Massachusetts, are Rev. Henry
Sloanc Coffin, Dr. Hugh Cabot, Dean
Willard 1. Sperry, Prof. Ralph Barton
(Sn relief pxe 4)
would serve to energize mass participation
in the conduct of the war at home and
would give to the conquered [leoples of
the world a stake in the future.
There was disagreement among con-
ference speakers on the procedure of
certain aspects of grand strategy which
at times flared into open controversy.
Rene Kraus, jjersistent biographer of
Churchill, took almost violent exception
to Mussolini-hating, vigorously democratic
(jaetano .Salvcmini, when he declarated
that the British Tories were still bungling
the job of propaganda in Italy and playing
into blackshirt hands.
President James P. Baxter, ird, and
plane designer Major Alexander de
Sevcrsky cautioned Max Werner for his
excessive optimism over the possibilities
of a 1942 allied offensive and warned
against "premature" military action.
Kconomist Robert K. Lamb and presi-
dential Adviser Lauchlin Currie locked
horns briefly at the production panel
over the problem of conversion and sub-
contracting.
Conferees Optimistic
But the disagreements were only nom-
inal. Never in the brief history of the
Williams spring conferences has there been
such a declared unity of outlook among
participants. Despite the sharp criticism
which speakers levelled at the multiple
inadequacies and bunglings in the Ameri-
can war organization, there was constant
emphasis on the brighter side of the war
picture. In his Saturday night address
Washington Correspondent Michael
Straight pointed out the great strides
which America has made during the last
three months towards converting her huge
civilian machine into a functioning war
machine. General Frank R. McCoy and
Dr. Baxter called for confidence in the
administration's ability to correct its own
errors and solve the problenis of organiz-
ing for total war. The whole impression

Conway Ex- '42 Victim
Of German Torpedo
Killed on March 19, wdien the ship on
which he was serving as a United .States
.Maritime Commission cadet was torpe-
doed by a German submarine olT the
North Carolina coast, Howard P. Cimway
Jr. ex-'42 was the third Williams man to
lose his life in World War 11. Although
the rest of the crew of the tanker were
rescued, Conway and the other four men
in the engine room were unable to escape.
Upon the death of his fathi'r in the
spring of 1940, Conway left Williams at
the end of his sophomore year, Enlisting
in the \'-7 program, he went to .'\nnapiilis
the following fall, where he began a four-
months' training course, .'\lthough he
failed to complete the course, Conway
joined the merchant marine about a \i'ar
ago.
While at Williams, Conway was a
member of Alpha Didta I'hi, and had been
appninteil a Junior Advisor for 1941. He
not onU' worked on the editorial boards of

U.C. Asks Increase
In War Curriculum
Altered Rushing Progfram
Passed; $100 Limit Put
on House Party Bands
Robert B. Kiltredge '43, president of
the I'ndergraduate Council, announced
yesterda\' that a |)elition had been sub-
mitted to the administration asking that
more facilities be provided for courses
such as Astronomy 4X in order that all
undergraduates who wish to take these
courses, preparatory to military training,
might have the opportunity.
He pointed out that many students,
especially uppercla.ssnien, who desire to
take advantage of these new courses have
been unable to do so.
Supper Dates Abolished
Kittredge also announced that the
rushing schedule proposed by Arbiter
Frank Thonis '30 and the rushing com-
mittee last week has been ijassed unani-
mously by the U. C. The new program
includes the abolishing of supper dates,
the redticing of the amount of money
spent for refreshments, the addition of
three dates (m Sunday afternoon and the
limiting of prowling to two nights.
At the U. C. meeting this week, it was
suggested that a ceiling of $100 be placed
on the price paiil for house party orches-
tras no matter how many houses combined
to pay for the band. Fraternity repre-
sentatives of the U. C. have been in-
structed to ask the opinion of the their
houses as to buying buttons instead of
corsages. The money from the sale of
button.^ will be given to the American Red
Cross.
The plan, formulated by a Gargoyle
committee headed by Charles H. Tower
'42, to unite all campus concessions under
Albert V. Osterhout '06, graduate Mana-
ger of Athletics, was passed by the U.C,
and a conunittee has been appointed to
meet to plan the organization with him.
M. Carter Hall Jr. was appointed chair-
man to be assisted by Spencer D. Wright,
3rd and Malcolm D. Clark, '43.

j April 3 Examinations
In order to facilitate enlistment, and
also answer any (|ueslions that may arise,
Archa (). Knowlton '40, ensign in the
r. S. Naval Reserve, will beat the Place-
ment Bureau next Friday, April 3, all day,
with a doctor and two assistant.s, who will
give the Navy physical exam. In the
meanlinie, further irformaliim can be
secured from William (j. Perr> , asMstanI
to the Dean.
1 In an earlier visit to tlie campus Knsigii
Knowlton warned that juniors and seniors
wishing to sign up for the V-7 Program,
should do so as soon ;is possible, as enlist-
ment for that branch of training is to be
discontinued shortly, being incorporated
into the V-l program, as <mtlini-d abii\e.
He also asserted that colleges should
promote the physical W(dl-l)eing of tile
student, so as to aid him in passing the
required ph\sical examinations.
'AU-Around Standard' Desired
Ranking the group is done piiiiiarily do
the basis of a eonipreliensive ex.iiii given
participants near Ihi' end of the sophomore
year. In the nieanl,imi', the Navy reserves
the right to approve a man's course of
study, with particular emphasis on Mathe-
matics and Physics. These courses, as
well as others correlated to ihe V-l pro-
gram are the ones that have been pro-
nounced satisfactorx'. In paiticidar, the
Nav\' is cautioning colleges .against stress-
ing specialized courses too much, rather
advising them to maintain as high an all-
aromid standard as possible.

The Curriculum Series
TiiK Rkcoiii) i.s forced to admit that, in the ten day.s rt'niainiiig be-
fore the. spirded-up regi.stratioii week, it cannot pos.sihly do jii.stiee to the
entire Williani.s cnrricuhini by continuing the .survey begun a week ago.
We are faced with two equally iin()lea.sant alternatives: either we
mu.st print u hastily improvised and .superficial overall view of the Wil-
liams majors, in order not to .slight any department before registration;
or we must discontinue for the present the .series of thorough studies
wliicli we planned. We have cho.scn to discontinue the .series.
AVe regret that we have i)ut the History Department in the position
of being the only deiiartment covered; but we believe we caiuiot make a
responsible survey of the entire field of formal education at Williams be-
fore .Vi)ril 6. In all fairness to the departnient.s which we could not
cover l)y that date, we are not releasing the six departmental surveys
planned for publication this week and next.
Waiting It Out
The conference is over. A little less than a year ago today, the editor
of TuK Recoki), summing up his reactions to last year's conference, called
for an immediate declaration of war. He was echoing campus and con-
ference sentiment; he had noticed in the conference sessions and in the
audience at the parley "a determination to do the job — regardless of its
price in blood, sweat and tears — with the effort and the precision we have
failed to give in the past, and with the faith that goes with the knowledge
that we are right and the preachers of tyranny wrong."
It's a year later now. The declaration of war has come, in anstver
to as clear a demonstration as possible of the challenge that the preachers
of tyranny present. But this weekend's conference showed, with plenty
of force and clarity, that we are still floundering in the .same complacency
and indecision that we recognized with horror last spring.
There would be little point in summarizing the conclusions of the
conference .sessions; that's done on the front page. We know what's
wrong, and we have been told what to do about it. But it's one thing to
realize by the cold light of intellect the imperatives of a desperate situa-
tion, and another to feel them in our blood and in our bones. We haven't
yet come to feel, with all we are, the truth of what we know.
"How many disasters do we need to wake us up?" Max Lerner
wanted to know when somebody suggested at one of the sessions that all
we need is a good shock. There is the big question that the conference
raised. And it has not yet been answered. We know we need force.
We know We need dynamic leadership. We know wc need total mobiliza-
tion of our men and machines and minds and blood and guts. When
are we going to feel this need? Because we won't meet it until we feel it.
We are not going to win this war by waiting it out. We were told
that again and again last weekend, and we have been told that for weeks
and weeks by the press and the President and the people. But we haven't
much lime to stop waiting it out. And if the cry of "too little and too
late" is not to be rai.sed for the last despairing time, we mu.st learn to feel
all w'e know with all we are, and fast.

GRAND STRATEGY
(Continued from page 1}
tli.it the .speakers left behind them at the
close of the two-day parley was their
deep and uniform faith in the ability of
Amerioin democracy to de\elop the
leadership that will energize America's
war effort to a victory teni|)o and unleash
the irresistable driving power of the Ameri-
can people's determination to win through.
This sense of confidence in the future
was characteristic of the later conference
panels. The opening round table on the
production line, however, painted the
least reassuring picture of the session.
Most disheartening to .seasoned campus
observers was the fact that the major
obstacles to an all-out war effort outlined
at the .Saturday panel were essentially the
siime ones that were recognized and de-
plore:! by speakers at the 1941 conference.
In a war where time is measured by the
clock, one year has passed. And last
weeken<r.'i parley demonstrated that in
that year Anierica has failed to solve
fiill>' problems that were considered urgent
even in the halcyon days of 1941.
Complacency Scored
Each speaker that rose to declare h
piece scored some aspect of thi^ war
organiziition and made it evident that the
same pattern of divided authority, short-
sightedness, complacency in high places,
procedural red-tape, and half-hearted
planning still characterizes the Wash-
ington war set-up.
And out of the production panel's clear
statement of the need for a coordinated,
planned uncompromigingly administered
war effort, out of the clear understanding
and articulation of the obstacles which
have dogged the American war of the
production line came a terrible sense of
frustration. The unsolved problems of
the spring of 1941 were with slight
modifications the luisolved problems of
were running with the enemy.
'How Many Shocks?'
Max Lerner had his finger on the pulse
of the conference when he asked, after
admitting his depression at the black
picture which previous speakers on the
production panel had painted, "How-
many shocks must we have before we
recognize the need for organization?"
The panel concluded with his plea for
leadership and tough-mindedness on the
part of administrators. "The right men
are not in the right places." Lerner de-
clared. "Wars are won by giving orders.
We must recognize the fact that the
market and the competitive relationships
of our economy are out as a way of organiz-
ing for war. What we need is a group of
managers put iti strategic positions with
power to commandeer industry and w ith a
willingness to use this power."
Michael Straight echoed Lerner's call
for positive leadership in his formal address
Saturday night when he went on record
in favor of the establishment of a central-
ized production and supply council to
coordinate and direct the global war effort
of the United Nations and to assure
China and Russia the opportunity to
|)articipate in vital decisions made by the
Anglo-Saxon command.
'OHensiva In 1942'
The most positive call for an integrated
United Nations war strategy to take the
offensive away from the Axis came at the
Sunday morning RoundTable on "AGrand
Military Strategy for the United Nations"
when Max Werner overrode more cautious
meml>ers of the panel to outline a strategy
of attack that could bring Hitler to his
knees before the end of 1942. "A united
combined strategy is the road to victory.
"Not only is an Anglo-American offensive
in the Atlantic theater a military possi-
bility, "Werner declared, "but it is also
capable of being realized in 1942."
Werner pointed out that a continental
of from sixty to eighty divisions, in open-
ing up a second front on Hitler's re.\r.
would serve the twofold purpose of
diverting Nazi pressure from the Russian
front and unfreezing the Soviet Far East-
ern army for operations against Japan.
fiaxtor injected a note of realism into
the discussion when he pointed out that
an American AEK this summer was \ery
unlikely since the war department's figures
of Cierman losses and of the army of
occupation very considerably from
Werner's, and the general feeling in
Washington was that America had not
yet developed sufficient military strength
to risk a spring or summer offensive.
War Conditions Peace
The final round table of the two-day
parley on "The Imperatives of Demo-
cratic N'ictory" struck an optimistic
chord. There was general agreement on
the need for a positive declaration by the
United Nations of their war and peace
aims. .Schuman echoed parley sentiment
in his statement, "The conduct of the war
and our hopes of victory in the war will
be largely conditioned by our program
for winning the peace." All speakers
mentioned the need for domestic and
international reorganization for victory
in the war and in the peace.
James G. MacDonald, head of the
President's ad\'isory committee on po-
litical refugees spoke for the members of
the conference — all sa\e .Schuman who
declared in favor of "Union Now" — when
he stated, "Let's not build on theory.
Let's start with the actual machinery of
the United Nations which the fire and
strain of the war has forced us to create and
go on from there." He warned against a
quick ratification of the peace treaty after
the war and also cautioned against neglect
of Russia at the peace conference.
Max Lerner wound up the panel and
the two-day parley with an appeal for the
vigorous prosecution of the war to establish
President Roosevelt's four freedoms
throughout the world. He called for "a
propaganda" of the democratic "deed"
to arouse the "frozen army" of the con-
quered peoples of Europe and Asia. In
his concluding remarks and in answer to
the alleged exclusiveness of .Schuman's
proposal for world federation Lerner de-
manded American leadership in winning
the war and winning the peace for the
"plain people of the world." "The world
can't win the future," he asserted, "unless
America takes the leadership. But
America cannot win the future unless the
plain people of the whole world win the
future."

Voters Buck Selectmen
In Fiery Town Meeting
Motion for More Police
Inflames Opposition
Williamslinvn voters vigorously defied
I he select men's jjrojjosal to engage a second
police officer, subordinate to Chief Georgi'
A. Royal, last Tuesday aflernoim in one of
the most volcanic town meetings in the
history of Williamstown. After thirty
minutes of verbal fireworks, the (|Ueslion
was laid on the table, through a motion
moved by former selectman Charles K.
I'otter, until the next session.
In noisy reaction to the calling of a
special meeting on a week-day afternoon,
contrary to the night-time policy agri'cd
on previously, and to the dismissal of
Cary C. Northup, former Constable,
the voters jumped to their feet, after
Chairman O. Dixon Marshall had proposed
lo increase the policing power of Williams-
lown.
Marshall showed that Williamstown
was woefully behind the average of the
country in police protection. He sug-
gested that $2,000 be raised and appro-
priated for expenses, including salary, of a
new officer subordinate to Chief Royal,
who in turn would he responsible to the
selectmen. "The finance committee felt,"
lie explained, "and George felt strongly
al.so that he should be given additional
assistance, in the absence of Mr.
■^orthup."
Prominent among the opposition to this
measure were Professor Charles Grinnn,
former selectman Potter, who objected
successfully to Chief Royal's taking the
floor, and L. G. Trcadway, manager of
the Williams Inn. Treadw'ay told the
meeting that selectmen could help Royal
with clerical work, and men have already
been sworn in to help him in cases of
emergency.
Citizens' Committee
Accepts Student Gift
In a letter to the' editors of Tnio
Record, Q. A. Shaw McKean, chair-
man of the Citizens' Coirniittee for
the Army and Navy, Inc., formally
acknowledged the receipt of a check
for $2,=;0.48, "the gift of the under-
graduates of Williams College for
furnishing a d.iy room at either Camp
Edwards or Fort Devens."
The recreation room, financed by a
special drive for funds, will be given
in memory of Lieut. Col. Charles A
Whittlesey '0'. commander of the
Lest B.nttalion.
"The Con-mittce," read the letter,
"wishes to thank you and through
yon, the undergraduates of Williams
for tile splendidly generous (cift that
they have made."

Required Athletics
Still Unmentioned
College is Silent as Yale,
Harvard, Princeton Add
Final Touches to Plans
While Har\ard, Princeton, and Vale
made final preparations for putting into
effect their vigorous compulsory athletic
programs' for all classes, Williams under-
graduate opinion, as rei)resented by a sur-
\ey of sophomores last week, showed a
mounting a])ai:hy towards the plan.
Agreeing that ])hysical fitness is es-
sential. cs])ecially during wartime, the
second-year men nonetheless were almost
in complete accord with the sophomore
who said, "It's a good thing, 1 suppose,
but I'd cue hell out of P.T."
Trustee Decision Required
.As yet the colli'ge authorities have been
silent on the wartime sports program.
In three weeks the Hoard of Trustees
again convenes and upon it hinges the
decision of whether the Williams under-
graduates will be required to participate
in .ithletics for the duration of their
college careiTs.
Last week Jcdni Kiernan, sports editoi of
the New ^■ork Times, cited the need for a
compulsory s|)orts program in eveiy
college when he quoted an article by John
T. McGovirn, well-known sports official,
in the Cornell Alumni News.
Wrote Mr. McGovern, "The jouth of
America has become ccimpletely soft.
That might be all right if we were to be
left jilone in jjeace. But we are not at
peace. W^e are in a war which, according
to government speculation, will last eight
years or more. Our students from sixteen
years up will be soldiers. They must be
excepiicinally hard and fit to be any good

Large '45 Turnout
In Lacrosse, Track
Baseball Men Also Called
As Freshmen Prepare
for Spring Schedules
Freshman spring athletics officially got
under way last week as over two-fifths of
the freshman class turned out for pre-
liminary meetings in three sports.
Lacrosse and track candidates have had
formal practice sessions but weather and
ground conditions have kept Coach
Fielding Simmons' baseball S(|uad on the
sidelines.
Although only one game has been
scheduled, with Deerfield April 22, Dick
Colman is putting the largest squad in
several years through the paces in an
effort to get the yearlings ready for an
extensive summer program. They will
join the varsity in June to tackle a heavy
schedule. Coach Colman feels that vigor-
ous workouts and persistent practice
now will do much toward preparing the
men for the faster varsity competition.
The thirty man squad is headed by
Have Goodhart, former All-New England
Interscholastic second team goalit-, and
Fred Scarborcmgh, Gil Lefferts and Henry
Toll, all from the Deerfield Academj' club
that dealt last year's 1944 scpiad its onh'
defeat. Red Marshall, Howell Noiner
and Al Bonynge have also been st.indouts
in early drills.
Little 3 Track Meet
The 1945 trackmen, thirty-eight strong,
have been limbering up cm the board
tracks. Early indications show a strong
running team and a balanced group for the
field events. With a month <if practice
remaining before the Little Three meet
at Amherst, April 25, lOny Plansky ex-
pects to field a well-rounded team. .So
Killer Keller Prophesies Disastrous Year
In Store For War-Riddled Faculty Ball Club
"Only the world war brought me back
1 was planning to hang up my glove this
year," Charlie "Killer" Keller admitted
yesterday as he twirled a softball aimlessly
in his left hand, while leafing through
some history honors work with his right.
"I see this as a grim year for the faculty
ball club."
Keller pointed out that only four of the
original team which started out together
in l'),S7 in the memorable D. U. clash arc
still idaying. Shoeless Joe Johnson,
.Shag'em Harper, and Bec-Line Buffinton
form the (dd-veteran nucleus for this year's
team. In addition, Whiff'cm Wood and
Fred Stocking arc the only other rookies
with game experience, but the Killer de-
clared that he "looked for Sweezy,
Kichline, and Fraxer to bolster the squad."
"Due to the speed-up schedule, we've
had to cancel our spring trip this year,"
Keller sighed, "but with the summer
session things should even themselves out
in the long run." Replacements look
doubtful, especially for such hitters as
\inre Barnett, Phil Spiltoire, and Bill
Zabor, but Frankie Thoms may be ready
for a season wiih the "old men."
Keller backed the Phi Delts as the best
fraternity ball club on the campus, but
added, "it's because they never go to class,
just play ball all day behind their house.
That's doubly unfair to the faculty."
George llussey, Phi Delt twirlcr, won the
vote of both the Killer and Shoeless Joe
as their choice for one of the toughest
pitchers they have ever faced. .\t this
point Keller became confidential and
whispered, "You knort the Phi Delts did
bent us 7-0 last year."
He reailily admitted that it would be
tough to win now that Look-tho-Othcr-
Way Lanny Holmes was no longer um-
piring, but termed "nasty rumors" all
reports that the base paths would be
shortened, the mound moved back, and a
larger ball used when the faculty came to
bat. "We'll meet the students on their
own terms with their own weapons,"
Killer Keller stoutly yoiceri.
"Of course, I'll need some special
attention from Herhy (official collCjic
trainer), now that he doesn't have Spauld-
ing to work over anymore, "Keller nuiscd,
"but I pitched twenty games last year,
and 1 guess I'll be good for a longer seasnn
this year. Besides, I've ne\'er been re-
lieved in a hall game in all the five years
the faculty's been playing."

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1942
Straight Stresses Role of College Student
In Wartime, Urges National Organization
by Gkoiicik Y. Nkhhiias '44
"College students must fight for what
they see to be the right path, they must
light for closer collaboration between the
Allies if they believe in it, and if they be-
lieve in feder<d union after the war, they
must fight for that," said Michael Straight,
dynamic journalist and dominant figure at
the fourth annual Spring Conference,
The Washington correspondent of Neu-
Repiihlic, himself a graduate of Cambridge
University in V)il , urged the establish-
ment of a nntion-wide organization of
rollege men through which "they can
realize a greater sense of leadership", and
. niphasized the importance of the role of
I he college student in wartime.
Greater Role in England
Straight pointed out that students have
i.iad a more clearly defined role in England
than in America because of conditions
existing from 193S to the great awakening
i\ hen war broke out .
"There was," he said, "a kind of poverty
111 politics. The Labor Party was dead.
The Conservatives were completely un-
iwaie of the threat of Nazism, and,
liccause of their fear of the Communists,
I hey played into Cierman hands."
I 'nder these conditions, students formed
what might be teimed a basis for the
pcilitical movement that grew around
Sir Stafford Cripps, now considered
iiiitain's next prime minister. At Cani-
hridge, Straight headed the Labor Club, a
p.irl of a national student organization
which coinnuinded liie respect of the
English people and government.
Opposed Chamberlain Appeasement
"Of the 800 members of the club," said
Straight, "at least 500 were willing lo pay
their own way to London at anv time to
demonstrate for what they believed; they
demonstrated in favor of the .Spanisu
Loyalist government; they demonstrated
against Chamberlain's apiieasement poll-
cii's."
Straight was amazed when he returned
to the United States in 19,^7 to find neither
this consciousness of the role of the student
in governtnent nor an appreciation of the
importance of student opinion.
Need An 'Awakening'
"1 think at the motnent," he continued,
"we need the same awakening as has been
experienced in England. We ha\en't got
it, you know. We've still got the idea
that otir only fight is in th" Philippines."
He emphasized that in wartime students
have the power to comtnand an au'lience
because they are "the people to uhotii will
fidl the responsibility of fighting this war."
The ^'outh Conference, Straight believes,
is an itiiportant beginning, but, he said,
"now we can setuiJsomethingfar broader."
"College men in this country have got
to work for organization." Straight con-
cluded. "There's no limit to an organ-
ization which says, 'As young people, we
demand to be able to fi,:;ht for the kind of
world we would like to live in'."

WMS Reorganization
To Combine Functions
In an ellort to CNpand facilities and
present better programs, the WMS tech-
nical hoaril is experimenting with a change
of procedure in the presentation of re-
cordings, according to John (>. Copley '44,
technical manager. The new system
combines announcing and control func-
tions in the hands of one man, for straight
recording broadcasts.
"In the past it has been necessary for a
member of the technical board to operate
the turntable for broadcasts of recordings,
while these men could be tnore profitably
employed in building and repairing e(|uip-
inent," said Copley. "If the new arrange-
ment is adopted permanently one man
will he able to run the station single-
handed, except for special broadcasts, if
necessary," he added.
Tile Sundas' afternoon series broadcast
over WBKK have been discontinued.
President Robert W. Hinnian '4J announc-
ed, owing to commercial obligations for
that time on the part of the Pittslield
station. He further said, "We are still
working with them on all local events,
however, such as the broadcast last
Saturday night of the formal speeches of
the .Spring Conference, from the AMT."
Placement Bureau Is
Shifted to Hopkins
Work formerly carried on at the Wil-
liams Placement Bureau has been trans-
ferred to the office of Mr. Albert \'.
Osterhout '06, graduate manager of ath-
letics, following the enlistment of Edwin
Holmes '23, former head of the agency,
in the Red Cross. This action was taken
since no appropriate successor to Mr.
Holmes has been found.
Official literature regarding various
branches of the armed forces will be shifted
to the new office, where it will be more
available to faculty members and stu-
dents. All functions of the Placement
Bureau will be carried on at Mr. Oster-
hout's office after April 1.
A room in the old Faculty' House will
ccjntinue to be available for conferences
concerning student placement in business
enterprises and enrollment in the Army,
Navv and Marine forces.

compulsory, while the others are a help in
subsequent training;
1) Fundamental courses in Math and
Physics, designed to lay a strong founda-
tion for later Navy courses.
2) Sound Health.
3) English courses developing reading
ability, precision of expression, and
thought training.
4) Under this head are non-essential,
but correlated abilities:
a) A knowledge of U. S. History
(History 3-4)
b) Ability to read blue-priitts, maps,

this).
c) Knowledge of descriptive astron-
omy and meteorology
d) Rudiments of Hygiene and First-
Aid
e) Knowledge of the International
Code
f) Foreign languages
Joseph W. Barker, Special Assistant to
the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in
presenting the V-l program to the public
over a month ago, set forth some of its
fundamental purposes and desires, "It is
a non-militarized preinduction program — •
it does not put the men in college into
uniform nor does it require naval drill —
the Navy believes that these integrated
V-1, V-S, and V-7 programs constitute,
with the other avenues already estab-
lished, a completely democratic system
leading to commissions."

Changes in Athletic
Schedule Announced
l-'urther changes in the already short-
ened spring athletic schedule were re-
vealed \Ve(hiesday afternoon in a new
listing issued from the olTice of .Mbert V.
Oster.iont '(>'i, gradn.ite man.iiier of
athletics,
.\ comparison of the new schedule with
that of Kebrnary 26 .shows that the base-
ball team has dropped another game, that
with l^nion College on May 7. The la-
crosse team has succeeded in rescheduling
Dartmouth on .-\|-'ril \S to take t'.ic place
of the Union game which it also must
forego.
.At this time, shortened schedides for
freshman baseball and lacrosse were also
released. The former faces Wilbraham
aM<l Hotchkiss; the litter's only contest is
with UeerfieUl on .April 22. All three
I games will be played in Willianistown,
Mr. Osterhout also ga\e a picture of the
difticulties that Williams faces in schedul-
ing its usual oi)|.onents for summer con-
tests. Amherst has a voliintnr\- summer
session; therefore, it is doubtful if it can
organize varsity teams,
W'eslcyan and Trinity are combining
their summer sessions ,ii Hartford, and
their respective athletic statuses will be
doubtful. Cnion and several other col-
leges have cancelled all summer athletics.

Load During Summer
Warnings Drop Despite
Speeded-up Semester
Contrary to the evpectations of
most of the student body, the speed-
ed-up semesti-r failed to result in an
increase in the number of warnings
this spring, when only 47 <r "f th''
student bocK- recei\ed warnings on
Wednesday. .An interesting contrast
is afforded by thi- (dass of 1944, which
a year ago had 70'; of its members
warned, while the class of 1<)4.S had
only 61':; this spring. In turn, -S.V ;
of the class of l'M4 got warnings this
week, or 4',; less than the class of I'M,?
received last \-ear.
To counteract an estimated thirty per
cent labor shortage on New England farms
this summer, due directly to the draft and
high wages in defense industries, a X'olun-
teer Land Corps of college students is
being formed. .Alread\- large groups have
been ricruited at Harvard and Vassar
Colleges.
The Land Corps was started b\' news-
paper columnist Donithv Thompscm last
December in anticipation of the rural
labor shortage problem receiving so much
pul)licit\- through representatives in Con-

gathered up to 2,000 college workers by

F'oundation, wrote Professor F'tederick L
Schuman to "stop sin-smoking and save
the world."
If Mr. Bishop should ever again resume
his evangelical correspondence, it will
probably be to say, "I told \'ou ,so," For
Dr. Schiniian has become einliroiled in a
contro\'ersy of considerable complexity
with one Mrs. John B. .Stealy of Clarks-
burg, W'. \'d., who has accused the VN'il-
lianis "sin. smoker" of "treason."
Distorted Version of Speech
Basing her charge on a sadl>' distorted
version of a speech he made at a Union
Now luncheon in New York City last
F'ebruary, Mrs. Stealy accused Dr. Schu-
man of undermining "the American stan-
dard," by supporting a plot to set tij) "a
world government."
Mrs. Stealy, who claims to have "abun-
dant proof," though her sources arc un-
known, erroneously attributed the follow-
ing statement to Professor Schuman:
we will lose the
With righteous indignatiim, the Clarks-
burg patriot then asked Mr. Schuman,
"Who is Viacking you? — Do you know that
we .Americans will never stand for this?"
'Controlled Radio and Press'
In case there were any doublts in Pro-
fessor .Schunian's mind the fanatical Mrs.
.Stealy went on to enlighten him: "The
people are awake to what \ou and your
crowd arc up to; they know what is going
on, even if the controlled radio and jiress
do not tell them so."
Still playing secret agent, Mrs. Stealy
asked Professor Schuman, who was born in
Chicago, "How long have you been in the
United States?" In order to allay any
suspicions concerning her own nation.il
affiliations, Mrs. Stealy added a post
script to her letter which said, "My
ancestors fought to establish this Republic.
Did yours?"

Agreement Necessary,
Declares Shridharani
"In the heart of m\- heart I believe they
will come to an agreement soon, because
the leaders of India know the victory of the
I'niteil N'atiiiiis is all-imporlatU and Great
Britain knows ii cannot gel along without
the support of India," said Krishnalal
Shridharani, speaking of the controversN
over the Cripps proposal for a post-war
Dominion of India in exchange lor Indi.i's
support now.
'The young llinilu, author of the best-
seller My India , My America, spoke in
Jesup Mall last night on the timely topic,
"India's Hole in the War." Saying that
it is more diflicull In predict events a week

mitted that the solution is "bound to
come," but not on the present plans.
India Essential
India is essential to the rnited Nations
not only as a last base in the .Asiatic war
for the "great land battle in China which
alone can end the war," but for her indus-
trial resources as w<41. Me .said that India
had the largest supplies of high grade iron
ore in the world, was the second largest
cotton producer, and had the largest sugar
industry. So far I"2ngland has suppressed
Indian industrialization, he conlimted, but
America would do belter to "ship India
not so much ammunilion as machine
tools," and shift Ihe burden of supplying
Ihe I'"ar ICasleni war to India.
"Japan has taken the gamble it has,"
Shridharani went on to say, "because it
has an ace up its sleeve." .Mlhough it is
hopelessly overbalanced by the industrial
resources of the I'nited Nations, it has an
understanding of Asiatic peoples, a prob-

The Harmless Crackpot
Below i.s a copy of an auonymou.s liaudbill sent through the mail last
week to Richard A. Newhall. chairman of the faculty, and Cyrus N.
Morgan ' 12, retiring president of the Undergraduate Council. The errors
in locat iiig Williams, in spelling, and in typograjihy are faithfully repro-
diiccil from the original.
At Last the Truth!
Fredrick L. Sehuiiian, Dep't of Government; Williams College — Williams-
town, IViiii. — at a "Union Now" luncheon, New York, Feb. 11, 1942, .said;
"The first ivorld mir ivasfor iheLeague of Nations. We lost it. Tins
W'.vu Is For World Government. fTe /ioi>e already lost the ivar — we have
ubiiiil tu\) mouths to udn the peace. If u« do not put over a ivorld government
uv iiill lose the peace."
We Ihoughl our boys were ilrafted to save our way of life — not to win
a world Governnieutl
DEMAND OF YOUR CONGRESSMAN THAT HE SUPPORT
"HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 125" FOR A CONGRESSIONAL IN-
VESTIGATION OF THE PLOT TO SET UP A WORLD GOVERN-
MENT!
The invidious nature of the charges and the di.stortion of the quota-
lif)ii.s ill this handbill are suspiciously like those contained in a letter to
Professor Schuniaii himself from a Mrs. Stealy of Clarksburg, W. \a.
The handbills were postmarked Clarksburg, which is further circumstan-
tial evidence that ^Irs. Stealy had a hand in their distribution.
Professor Schuman has dismissed Mrs. Stealy as a "harmless crack-
pot." A .story on page one of this issue explains that Mrs. Stealy believes
she is a more coiiii)etent critic of the world situation than Professor
Schuman becau.se her forefathers fought in 1776. The story explains how
Mrs. Stealy considers Professor Schuman a "traitor" because he advo-
cates a particular type of world organization after this war to insure
permanent peace for all nations.
Mr. Scliuniaii knows a crackpot when he sees one. But if Mrs.
Ste<aly was the author of the handbill printed above, she is more than
"harmless", for the author of that circular is the dispenser of malicious
lies aiitl irre.s])onsible propaganda. Of course Mr. Schuman did not say
the first World War was for the League; of course he did not say we have
already lost this war; of course "This war is for a world government" in no
way ailetiuately or fairly expresses his belief in Federal Union. The very
carelessness of the ijrinting in the handbill indicates the author's .slight
regard for accuracy.
Careful and intelligent judgment is particularly valuable in wartime,
and complete aiifl relevant information is the only reliable guide in making
thai brand of judgment. The stuiiid, irresponsible information contained
in the Clark.sburg bandbili, urging support of an unexplained and unknown
Coiigres.sion al resolution, is neither complete, relevant, nor intelligent.
This is the i)rcjudieed, warped thinking which breeds dissent and dis-
content within America.
.Viionymous atlacks of this sort admit of no reply or discussion; they
are precisely the kind of vengeful narrowness which wrecked the peace
efforts of 1918.
Above all, handbills of this character provide vicious fifth-column
propiignnda again.st the only hope Americans can now hold to firmly — -tlie
ho[)e of a i)ost-war world organization to maintain peace and to promote
the prosperity of all peoples, regardless of their race, or their creed, or
their ancestors.
Again No News
March 13 — "Campus Business Management took another step
toward the establishment of a functioning program last night when the
undergraduate representatives of sixteen social groups elected three
officers."
March 20 — No news.
March 27 — "The Undergraduate Committee of Campus Business
Management at Williams College, waiting further action of the Alumni
Committee in New York City, has not convened since the organization
meeting two weeks ago."
April 3 — Again no news.
Has the Cooperative Management plan which was rushed through
sixteen Williams houses with record speed last February bogged down?
"The system will be in operation on or shortly after March 1," the alumni
chairman predicted in February. But the Undergraduate Executive
Committee fwho with the Alumni Executive Committee was delegated to
choose a business manager) has not convened since March 12; it has not
heard from the graduate group since that date. And today the system is
not yet in operation.
Progressive steps have probably
been taken by alumni in New ^'ork,
but if .so, no word has reached the
undergraduates. We urge the alumni
to realize that iiiidergradiialc inter-
est can be retained only if they
keep Cooperative Management jiro-
gress before the .still lent body. Again
we offer the aliinini the service of
this iKW.spaiier; again we reiiiind
them that uiidergradiiates are
wondering what lias lia|)peiied to
Campus Business Management.

\oted to the cause of .American leadershij)
in forming a federation of free peoples as
the nucleus of a world government. Far
from being 'un--\nierican', it is as .American
as maple syrup and swing music," he said.
Admitting that he spoke at a Union Now
luncheon "along with Miss Cummings of
Canada," Dr. Schuman added: "My con-
tention at the luncheon was- that a New
World Order w ill almost inevitably emerge
out of the Second World War, and that if
the United .StaLCs and the tJnitetl Nations
do not dedicate themselves to estahlishiiig

war and the peace may be lost to our

ers elementary calculus. Those who take
Mathematics 1 should elect la-2a simultan-
eousU', or plan to take la the following
semester. Mathematics 2c, to be given
next semester only, is open to those who
took Mathematics Ic this year and want
another semester of Math to fill military
reciuirements. Mnlhemntics ,H-4 is Cal-
culus, to which 1-2 will .idmit thissemcster,
but hereafter la-2a will be a prerequisite.
Four Semester Program
Physics. In order to help fill the
nation's need for trained communications
men, as well as specialists in other fields
of physics, the physics department has
made a\'ailable a short four-semester
program for communications men, to fit
them for later intensive training. This is
especially designed for men who will be
unable to spend more than two years in
college, and also serves as the first four (or
five) semesters of the revised major.
This accelerated program will retiuire
freshmen to take General College Physics
1-2 {or U-2a) and Math 1-2 (or lra-2n).
The sophomore courses during the third
and fourth semesters of the program are
Physics 5-6 (Electricity and Magnetism),
Physics 11-12 (Electronics and Radio
Communication), and Math 3-4. During
the first semester of the junior year the
plan prescribes Physics 11a (Advanced
Electronics) and Physics 3 (Optics).
The cooperative M.I.T. program, which
has been revised along the same lines as
the major and communications courses,
now takes only two years, or six semesters,
at Williams, followed by four more
semesters at M.I.T.
Poly Sci. Revised
Political Science 3-4 and 5-6 have both
been revised to include material relating
to the present war, and problems which
arise out of it. 3-4 is International Re-
lations, and in the second semester will
stress the world program of the Fascist
triple alliance and the United Nations, and
the prerequisites of a Free World Order.
5-6, Phases of American Government,
analyzes American political institutions
and the American Constitution, with
emphasis on recent changes in the scope
and power of the national government, and
on constitutional and political aspects of
government in a wartime democracy.
Political Science 1-2 is a prerequisite to
both 3-4 and 5-6.
Spanish lo-46 An intensive course in
Elementary and Intermediate Spanish, in
which each class lasts for an hour and a
half. Open with the consent of the in-
structor, to qualified sophomores and
juniors, it covers in two semesters the
material induded in Spanish 1-2 and 3-4.
On Alert,,
the Task Force of the
Telephone army!
^'iierever the call, a mechanized army of
more than 27,000 Bell telephone trucks
stands ready. Each has a skilled crew . . .
armed with hand tools and power equip-
ment designed especially for the joh to lie

be mobilized anywhere, anytime.
This is just one way the Bell System is

war-time service — no matter when

'41 who i-ecei'tly returned (o this country
after a five-nronth tour of duty in the
British Isles. Thi's reply was given in
answer to a (|aery on the success of the
British rationirrg system.
Pike, one of the foumiei's of WMS and
skilled in radio work, enlisted in the signal
corps last September and w.is immediately
connnibsioned a s-cond lieulena,it and
sent to Britain.

Conmienting on the damage w rought by
lr\c Luflwaffc » \ear ago, Pike stated, "k is
har'd to give an understandable idea of the
bomb damage to one who hasn't seen it.
There ,ire tpiile a few vacant lots, but un-
less you slop and ;hink. you don't leali/.e
wh.it they are. The idea that Loiidrjn is-
laid low is all wrong."
"We were well treated in Errgland with
the exception of two small boys," he stated,
"they were confused by the s.'range uni-
forms. One said to the other, nervousl\-,
'Do you think he's a German'? The other
replied in broailesi Lancashire .recent,
'Flee? No, 'e's a Japanese'."

Contrasting Ihe tprietness of London
now with the chrros of a yerrr ago. Pike

A chaiijif in wcatlicr this Wft-k finally
ail(i«fd Coach Charlio Caltlwfll's l)aso-
ball foro'S to leave their cramped ([uarters
in llu' cus;e and m-t in some liitting and
fiililiiii,' practice on Cole Field.
Altlioiiuli the diamond was still not
thorou.nhly driiil out, it was warm enough
for fast infield practices and informal
games. The mound corps of Satch Lare,
Ed Callahan, Bill West, Al Swain, Roy
Tolles, and Ed IManchfield, which has
starleil tu bear down after four weeks of
hurling, is still wuy ahead of the batters.
Franny Dolan and Bob Gardner have been
catching.
Starting Line-up Uncertain
Caldwell is still uncertain about his
starting line-up for the Army tilt but two
weeks away. One of his practice infields
saw sophomore John Bridgewater at first,
Captain Gunnnr Hagstrom at the key-
stone sack, and Dick Emery and Bill
Donovan at third and short stop, respect-
ively. Last year on the freshman team,
Emery held down the short field post,
while IJonovan covered the hot corner.
The other combination had second-year
men Joe Adriance, Al Reilly, and Bill
Orr on the bases, with lettcrnian Jack
Harter, converted from an outfielder, at
short.
Veterans Bob Swain and Bill Schmidt
combined with Gunnar Hayes to form one
outfield trio, while Bill Ford, Chuck
Yeiser, and Monk Stanley made up the
other. Stanley has also seen action be-
hind the plate.

Matt Mann, Michigan Swimming Coach,
Says Enthusiasm Key To Western Success
"To be a champion you've got to live
the game all the time," declared iVIatt
Mann, Michigan swimming coach and
Bob Muir's guest early this week, in ex-
plaining his unparalleled record of twelve
victrjries out of the last fifteen National
meets and an A.A.U. championship two
years ago
Practice All Year
"Out west," he said, "we take our sports
seriously. If you're a swimmer or a track-
man you stick to one sport, and practice
goes from September to June." While
admitting that Yale, this year's National
winner, has a "very fair" team and ought
to annex the coming A.A.U. championship,
the famous sports figure accused the East
of a certain "superciliousness" that did
much to damage its athletics.
Born in England over fift>- )'ears ago
Mann learned to swim in a null river from
which he emerged whate\-er color the near-
by dyers happened to be using on their
blankets. He came to this countr\- at an
early age, and later taught swinuning in
many institutions throughout the nation,
spending three >'ears at Vale and three
more at Harvard. Michigan he prefers,
however, because, as he says emphatically,
there "the boys gke."
Last Year's Team Best
The team he thinks the best he ever
coached was last year's, but, asked for the
best sw^inmier he ever had under him, he
rattles off innumerable names, only
stopping long enough to recite a few
world's records. "It wouldn't be fair
to the other boys to name any one," he
says.

Schmidt Routs Hemphill
To Take Squash Honors
'41 Champion Is Beaten
In 3 Straight Games
Scoring his second straight upset. Bill
Schmidt downed Dude Hemphill 15-11,
15-8, 15-6 last Frida\' to annex the college
squash singles championship. Hemphill,
captain-elect of the squash team and the
defending champ, was no match for the
smooth-stroking Schmidt, who took quick
advantage of openings and won handily.
Repeated placement errors by Hemphill
plaxed a big part in the outcome of the
match.
Schmidt, seeded third, lost only one
game in his march to the championship.
He blanked Bob Hendrie, the 1942 captain
in the semi-final round. During the regu-
lar season .Schnndt held down the number
three position, winning four and losing
four.
N.S.C.A. Coaches Elect
Muir As Vice President
Donn Early Will Captain
'43 Swimming Team
Robert B. Muir, Williams swimming
coach, was elected vice-president of the
National Swimming Coaches Association
last Saturday at the conclusion of the
National Collegiate Swimming Champion-
ships at Harvard. Tuesday Muir an-
nounced the election of 1942 Co-Captain
Donn Early to the leadership ofnextyear's
squad.
At the same time as his election to the
vice-presidenc)-, the Williams coach was
appointed a member of the National Inter-
collegiate Advisory Committee. The six
men on this committee represent the top
authority in intercollegiate swimming.
For the past two years Muir has been
Chairman of the Award Committee,
charged with the selection of the outstand-
ing college swimmer of the year. Last
week his committee voted the honor to
Rene Chouteau of Yale.
Muir has coached the Lascll swimmers
for six years and has gaijicd national
recognition for the team and for himself.
He is at present the New England repre-
sentative on the Pan American Games
Conmiittcc, which voted this winter to
hold a Pan American Olympic Game in
Buenos Aires this coming November.
No action has been taken by the committee
since December 7.
Early, squad captain for 1943, starred
in the SO- and 100-yard freestyle events
fi'= son. Although he recently went
l4' , of all Williams swinnners and en-
in the Navy V-7 training program, he
cts to finish college before being call-
g<jC J, in which case he will be available for at
.east two-thirds of next season's schedule.

Swimming Coach Muir
Trains'U.S. Commandos'
Candidates
Rigorous
Must
Water
Pass
Test
With twenlv-eight students already en-
rolled in the Senior Red Cross Lifesaving
course. Swimming Coach Robert B. Muir
plans to have a large group from which to
choose candidates for special advanced
training. For these he is developing what
he styles the U. S. Commando test.
This test, original with Muir, is designed
to qualify those interested or expecting to
be in the nation's armed forces in the near
future, to be of aid to themselves and to
others in time of emergencx' without fur-
ther endangering life.
Towards this end, the candidates will
be required to swim at least a half a mile,
to be able to push a man a quarter of a
mile. Basic in this will be the breast-
stroke which the Purple coach describes
as the most universal and practical ol all
strokes, It enables the swimmer to
navigate with his head out of water, with
a pack on his back, or while pushing
another man in front of him.
The "commando" candidates will also
have to swim a length and a half of l.asell
Pool under water, be able to hold their
breath on the bottom for a minute, and
effectiveh- drive a ten penny nail into a
submerged log. Added training will be
given in shooting an air riflewhilc treading
water.

SPRING STREET STYLES
The Williams Record Presents Its Annual Clothing Issue

u
Wartime Fails to Block Co-op Assortment I
Of All Varieties of Men's Spring Clothing
livery year wlieii the windows around'
college begin to get lirokeii !)>■ baselialls
instead of snowballs and when trembling
sub-freshmen make their pilgriinmage to
the awesome dean's ofiice, \"an and Tom,
clown in the Williams Co-op, display
spring atklitions for the masculine ward- '
robe that would make the most studious
"greasy grind" eligible for a movie con-
tract.
This season, nothing daunted by so
minor a problem as the war, the Co-op
window is flaunting an assortment of
spring regalia with color and respecta-
bility that can't fail to aitch the eye of any
male with natural impulses. And once
lured inside, the norjnal man will immed-
iately deplete his excheijuer by the value
of anything from a pair of snappy Nettle-
ton shoes to a brand new, hot-off-the-
griddle Disney fedora.
Tom will gladlj' suggest an outfit
absolutely guaranteed to create a major
disturbance in the general vicinity of
Northampton. For the perfect com-
bination his mind at the moment tends
toward a tweed Shetland sport coat,
brown covertcloth trousers a la Timely
Clothes, a plain white shirt in the inimi-
table Arrow style, complete with button-
d nvn collar, figured foulard tie from the
genius of the Manhattan mills. A
sparkling, canary-yellow sweater to match
llashy, full-fashion Westminster socks of
the hue, and those white buck, retl-rubber-
soled "dapper-dans" that are the pride of
Nettlcton completes the picture that will
make feminine hearts palpitate.
The first article that hits the eye in the
Co-o]) interior, now that skis and other
tools of the winter enthusiast have been
relegated to cut-rate sales, is tlie St.
James shoes, lying in full splendor where
nobody can miss them. They are perfect
his case before a potential mother-in-law.
The reappearance of the Ambassador, the
hand-finished, form-fitting blucher, de-
serves more than a passing rounil of
applause.
Nettleton laps the fiehl again in the
aforementioned white buck sensation,
which are only awaiting the retreat of
General Winter and 1st Lieutenant Mud
to make their annual spring debut. In
contrast with most other concerns, which
ha\-e already announced that the\- will be
forced to use reprocessed black soles,
Co-op's famous shoemaker has in stock
enough new red rubber soles to last out the
summer. .\\\ Nettleton shoes, Tom main-
tains, "will last all your life if you die when
you ought to."
Shifting to socks, Westminster offers
83%pure wool,17';,cashmore products that
rival in all-roun<l desirability anything
Harlem has to offer in distinctive colora-
ation. It would be a mistake, howeier,
to take away credit from these Co-op
specialties on the basis ofdrabtinting, since
all combinations of maroon, green, camel
and yellow give ample latitude for choice.
Shirts and ties are again following the
general trends toward siniplicit\', with
Manhattan taking the lead in providing
gems for the connoisseur of wearing
apparel. Colors arc again a major feature
with occasional striped varieties presented
for the sake of rugged indixidualists.
Knit ties are gaining steadily in popularit\'
but once again the maxim holds, "N'ou ask
for it and Co-op will give it to you."
With the long, dreary summer session
ahead, undergraduate minds in general are
turning toward week-ends and acquain-
tances at other institutions of higher
learning. Thus it seems fairly safe to
for any occasion; in fact, so majestic are j accept Tom's prediction of a run on seer-
these wing-tipped triple soled wonders suckers and Shctlajid tweeds at face value,
that only the wearers of the Royal Purple i What with Co-0]j tailoring and the dazz-
would seem fit to wear them
Snappy two-tone constructions, a brown
and white combination in particular, would
do credit to any undergraduate pleading
ling variety of patterns offered by Barrie
Morcll Co. a well-clothed Williams stu-
dent body would be a reasonable hope for
the immediate future.
Emma Willard Concert
For Glee Club Saturday
l-"resh from one of its most successful and
W('ll-recei\'ed concerts iji recent >'ears, the
Williams Cilee Club, under the direction of
Robert G. Harrow, journejs to the Ennna
Willard School at Troy, N'. \'., tomorrow
exening for its second engagement of the
spring season. Both the Enuna Willard
and Williams glee clubs will sing; the
program beings at 8;00 p.m.
Last Saturday's joint concert with the
Wellesley Choir found Chapin Hall with a
near capacity audience of 1000 responsive
and appreciative people. This figure
represents the largest group to attend a
function of this sort since 1400 heard
Marian An<lerson sing here three years ago.
Tomorrow's concert at Emma Willard
marks the first occasion on which that
school has entertained a large visiting
college glee club. Mr. Albert Pickering,
director of the Emma Willard organiza-
tion, has asked the Williams Glee Club to
be the first in what he hopes will be a long
line of college glee clubs to appear on the
Enuna Willard campus during the next
f(nv v'ears.
SALVAGE DRIVE
(Continued from page 1)
The other subdivisions include Dr.
Richard Leonard, member pf the local
Boy Scout Council, and supervisor of
Collection by Scouts; Ralph Mason,
manager of the salv.aging of heavy ma-
terial; Mrs. Charles P. Stocking, conductor
of household-salvage; and Ned Walden,
director of the Boys' Club, in charge of
canvassing b>' its members.
What happens to the items after they
have been collected is simple and direct.
Paper, for example, is received by James
Harris of the Old Blacksmith Shop on
Water Street from the various depart-
ment-heads and from Williams fraternities
and dormitories through college trucks and
then shipped to Sam Shapiro, a junk
dealer in North Adams. He, in turn,
sends the paper to the Walloomsac mill in
New York Citv, where it is re-used.

Matle of 100% wool, the Cornell has nian-
atjed to achieve what would appear at
first ylance to be impossible. Not only is
it perfectly adapted for long, tall men, but
it also has pro\eit i-xlreniel>' becoming to
those under live feel, five inches. Uon't
try to lell a short man that the Cornell is
not his type, because he'll insist that it was
made for him.
Ask anyone wearing a Cornell why he
likes it, why, in fact, he refuses to part
from it c.vcept when sleeping, and you'll
get two universal answers. First: this
model is one of the most comfortable cttats
ever to cover a man's back; and second:
you couldn't ask for cloth of a more
attracli\e or appealing cut.
Kept Under Cover
Created and designed prior to the Pearl
Harbor disaster, the Cornell is unlike any
other Langrock model. Owing to the
originality of its design. Jack Henderson
refuses to (luote the style features which
have made it one of the fastest selling
spring creations on the Princeton and Yale
campuses. In order to pre\'ent cop\ing
as much as possible, no Cornell models are
to be seen on display in the main room of
the Langrock store in Williamstown.
They are either on the backs of recent
buyers, or kept out of sight in one of the
rear rooms of the store.
Especially popular in the sport-coat
line, the Cornell model is made of excep-
tionally line English and Scotch wool. In
this respect. Jack announced that Lang-
rock had been very fortunate. Whereas
users of American wool have been restricted
to manufacturing only 10% of their goods
for civilian products, Langrock is free to
import wool from the British Isles until
June 1. Being importers, Langrock w'ill
not be affected b\' wool restrictions before
a year from the present time
Virgin Wool Garments
While manufacturers of native wool
will be compelled to u.se rayon, cotton, and
other substitutes, Jack declared that the
Williams Store has a supply of virgin wool
garments which will last at least another
year. He also revealed that two more
shipments are soon e.vpecteti to reach this
country, if they can succeed in escaping
the Nazi submarine menace.
Also from the British Isles are orders of
Cashmere and .Shetland woolens, which
will be made into both sport-coats and
I sweaters. Hanil-woven in Hawick, Scot-
land, this material will be made up by
Langrock into their own styles. Lnlike
the wild lines and checks which have been
j characteristic of sport-coats for the last
four or five years, this year's trend has been
toward siin|)licily and UKjre subilued pat-
; terns. Jack announcetl. Of e(|uall> high
quality are the Jaeger sweaters, which
will be featured again this year at the
Williams Store. Made in (ireat Britain
I of Cashmere and Shetland wools, their
I bright colors have always been great
I favorites with Williams men.
Also sure to meet the approval of all
j those who delight in gay colors are Argyle
socks, featured this year especially in
yellows and greens. Even wildi'r tlesigns
are to be found in Jack's stock of imported
ties and pajamas. Truly a patriotic touch
are the red and blue stripes on many of
these pajamas. A similar departure from
I conservatism is found in the brighter, j
; deeper stripes of the shiits now cm sale, i
while the checkered vests of tatlersol
design combine wonderfulK' with both
sport-coats and slacks.
To all those worried b\' the present |
restrictions on rubber goods, Jack brings
good news, for the Williams Store has
plentiful supplies of both rubber-soled
I street and tennis shoes, and of tennis and
golf balls. He also insists that Langrock
will be \vell-ec|uipped during the coming
j season for every tv-pe of sport, as the new
sports-room is being supplieil with everv-
thing from skis to ping-pi^ng paddles.
I Organ Pipes for Chapel
Bought from Pittsfield
A truck-load of what looked like giant
metal cigars was carried into the rear
entrance of the Chapel lafc last Friday
afternoon and stored in the basement.
The fort\-four torpedo-shaped olijects |
constitute the bass pipcj of an organ re- I
moved from the Masonic Temple in Pitts-
field and will supplant the present set in
the Chapel when sufficient funds for the
operation can be raised.
The pipes range in size from nineteen
feet in length and eight inches in diameter
to four feet by four inches, some of them
too heavy for one man to lift. The orgaT
now in use is over fiftv' \'ears old and is
badly in need of repair.
"This set of pipes is tiiiite a find," ex-
plained Robert Ci. Barrow, assistant pro-
fessor of music, "since no more will be
manufactured for the duration of the war,
because of the zinc and tin, on which the
government has priorities, used in their
construction."
Hearing that the Masonic Temple's
organ was being torn down, Barrow picked
up the pipes at a bargain price. The
average cost of a new set would be $800,
he said.
This purchase was part of a three-year
program, started last Christmas, to obtain
a new organ for the Chapel. The main
difficulty, Barrow pointed out, is to raise
enough money to pay for the removal of
the old pipes and the installation of the
new ones. "It would have to be done by
a kind of derrick," he explained, "the
whole operation costing about $300."
'Life' Praises Work
Of Newhall's Nephew
Continuing a journalistic e-areer begun
in Williamstown High .School, Corp
Eugene Xewhall, ne|ihew of Acting Presi-
dent Richard A. N'ewb.dl, is now editing
the weekly four-page Kodiak Bear, a V. S. I
Army publication for the soldiers in !
Alaska.
Last week Life magazine paid tribuic lo ,
this "voice of the Army in Alaska," in a
lengthy article which i-raised the paper's \
"breezy exuberance," .md commented on j
its "rough frontier air." According to.
Life, Editor Newhall contributed "the
prize Bear lyric to date," when he pub-
lished one of his own poems entitled
"\'alentine Wishes t(i a (k'islm (Wrl."
Newhall, who edited the school maga-
zine, the Taconic, graduated from Wil-
liamstown High in 1931, and then took
aihanced w.jrk in journalism at Minne-
sota. He was doin,^ radio work for the
Minneapolis Tribmie when he was drafted
last year.

The war must be made a people's war,

\^^ CL/ HK STORY ot authentic dress is one of
never-ending efifort. .of trying to turn you out at your
best bv wav of the clothes you wear. There's no secret
to it - playing down a man's poor points, playing up his
good ones is never accidental! There's no "short-cut-
ting path" to a distinguished appearance! Every skilled
principle of tailoring we possess, nearly half a century
of daily contact with College men and Alumni has
taught us the true value of Quality and how to impart
correct st> ling in a conservative manner ...M^it/i comfort.

While your clothes must fit as if they were made for you alone, style alone is not ALL IMPORTANT
this year! The present emergency demands that clothes LAST LONGER. . . .retain their custom
appearance for many seasons if need be. We've anticipated this quality theme in the handsome im-
ported Shetlands, tweeds, gabardines, flannels, coverts and worsteds now presented in our 1942 Spring

pects delivery any day now.
Though very rare on the open market,
thirl y-live dark gray flannel suits, in every
size, are just arriving, and what will soon
be unbelievable pleats are preseiu. Being
"tailors in trade" the Mouse of Walsh has
been givin special permission by the WPB
to keep enl'fs and pleats on until April 30.
So if >ou want to keep your cuffs and
pleats, see Phil before that date.
Cashmere Jackets
Best news of all. sa\> I'hil, is that des-
pite the bloek.ide the finest assortment of
English and Scotch importations ever
ac<|uired by the store has come through
this year, and for $42.50, a price 25%
under the equivalent (|uality elsewhere,
there's to be had the best hand-woven
cashmere jackets available. Hand-woven
shetlands go for S32.50, and ancjlhei novel
and refreshing Shetland jacket sells for
an unheard-of S28.50.
Present also are the famous Lorrainc-
Haspel seersucker suits, exclusiveh' dis-
triLuted by Walsh's, and .i ])erennial
favorite. Phil predicts a phenomenal
sale for these since there isn't a cooler suit
made. Another Mouse of Walsh ex-
clusive is the practical Palm Beach suit,
carried in si'Veral patterns and shades.
Not forgotten either is the sports shoe
line-up, complete ilown to the last moc-
casin. .N'o decrease in the popularity of
lhe.se is e\pi'Cted this year, and right now
there is a liocjm on the rubber ."ole vatiety.
White bucks with red rubber soles are
still tcp be had, and don't forget the
Spaulding saddle shoes, of which the
Mouse of W.dsh is I hi' oid\' Willianistown
tlistribulor.
Bathing trunks have struck a gabardine
and sailcloth style this year, and, though
he has all other types, Phil predicts these
will be the big sellers.
Directly imported Braemar shetlands
in every coltjr of the rainbow make the
finest sweater ana\' in Phil's memory,
and, strangely enough, girls' Braemars in
either pullover or cardigan style compose
one of the store's most important items.
Bright Tattersalls
With vests out for the duration bright
tattersalls add much to the Walsh reputa-
tion and not a little sparkle to a dark
suit. There isn't a better morale-builder
this side of MacArthur.
A shortage of white oxffird for skirts
almost causeil Phil a big headache, but a
lucky piece of foresight made bim stock
up, and, unlike most other stores, there
won't be anything to worry about for the
next few months.
But before victor>' suits come in, get
busy, and, along with Pearl Harbor, re-
member that after .April .50 no more
pleats and lapels.
Bacon Takes Fourth
In National 440 Race
.Sam Bacon, turning in what Coach Bob
Muir terms "the best race of his career,"
bowed out of college swinnning circles last
Saturday with a well-earned fourth place
in the 4-10-yard title race in the .National
Collegiate Swimming Chanipi(jnships at
Harvard Ujiiversity.
Bacon, who will forego another year of
competition to enter the Albany Medical
School this June, took his q:i.dif\iug heal
in 5:02.6 and then went on to swim the
finals ill 4:58.2, his fastest college (|uarter
mile. Me missed third place and a
national third place rating by a bare

The Williams co-captain also swam in
tne 1500-metre race, retaining (he sixth

tory, there are accommodations for forty-
eight students in one lab alone, with a
possibility of enlarging and almost dou-
bling facilities throughout should an even
greater increase unexpectedly arise. With
the need of technicians critical, the draft
boards deferring chemistry students, and
the profusion of jobs wailing for graduates
of a college with an approved scientific
department, the expansion may be im-
minent.
Dr. King emphasized the high develop-
ment in the field of explosives that makes
its study in college impracticable, and
showed that most industries demand study
in all cases after graduation before a man
may take over a job completely. The
direct research that is done at Williams
will probably be done by mendiers of the
faculty and outside visitors.
General Electric Researchers
In this line, the Thompstni Chemical
LaboratorN' was last sunmier thrown open
to a group of scientists from the General

Fifteenth Anniversary
Five Centuries of Italian
Paintings on Exhibit
The fifteenth anniversary of the Law-

Museum where guests saw an unusual
I'xhibition of sixteen old Italian masters,
Karl E. Weston, director of the museum,
ilso praised the work which the Fine Arts
19-20 students have on display for the
anniversary. Commenting on the history
'if the museum since its founding in April,
1927, Mr. Weston outlined the steps in the
rapid growth of the art center.
Marsh Presented Oitts
The museum was lirst established
.iround the three valuable Assyrian reliefs
which had been presented by Dwight W.
•Marsh 1842, who had served as a mission-
ary in Mesopotamia in 1850. The other
comparatively few works of art were part
of a collection given to Williams by Mrs.
.lohn W. Field in memory of her husband.
From 1927 on, the college and the small
museum were largely dependent on the
gifts of alumni and friends of the college.
I'he college administration itself gave no
linancial aid for acquiring new works or
bringing exhibitions to Williamstown.
Ilie money that was donated was given by
I he alumni and the Carnegie Corporation.
In 1938, the museum received the collec-
tion of Edward H. Blashlield for which
another addition was built.
In the fifteen year period, the museum
has had an average of twelve exhibitions
a year with 4,000 visitors annually.

viewed twenty-live students, eleven of
whom passed the tests and are c|ualified to
enlist in the program.
Ensign Knowlton, with a doctor and
two assistants, will return next Tuesday,
April 14, for an all day stay at the offices of
the Placement Bureau. At this time,
those who passed last Friday's prelimi-
naries and have fulfilled all other require-
ments will be able to oflficially enlist. At
the same time, all others interested and
desiring to join the V-1 Program may take
the initial physical exams.
Exam on March 1
According to a recent Navy Depart-
ment announcement, the V-1 compre-
hensive exam scheduled for May 1 has
been cancelled. In a letter to college
presidents, Admiral Randall Jacobs ex-
plained that the program was "launched
too late in the academic year to permit
sophomores to include the necessary basic
training." Instead, an exam will be given
on March 1,1943.
At a meeting of the faculty on Monday
it was decided to include Economics 1-2
as an elective in the pre-induction V-1
training program. Other information per-
taining to preinduction requirements may
be obtained at the office of William G.
Perry, assistant to the Dean.
Among those who passed the tests
administered last Friday are: John P.
Wakeman '43 (for V-7); Raymond E.
Ashley, Jr., David H. Bradley, F. Crunden
Cole, Robert D. Hostetter, Steven G.
Kent, Jr., Richard G. King, and Donald
M. Lindsay '44; and David T. Goodhart,
Samuel Hazard, and Arthur W. Howe,
III, '45.
Exam Holiday Declared
For Princeton Game
Because of difficulty in scheduling
the 1942 Williams- Princeton football
game, the Dean's Office has declared
a one-day holiday Saturday, October
3. The holiday, which comes during
the fall examination period at the
conclusion of the summer term, will
enable the team and some students
to make the Princeton trip.
Examinations will be resumed the
following Monday. The schedule
change has been made possible by
condensing the exam period from ten
days to eight.

Society of Alumni Urges
Economy for Reunions,
No Unnecessary Costs
The Board of Trustees in their annual
midwinter meeting on February 21 set
Sunday, May 17, for this year's Com-
mencement exercises, according to the
Alumni Dfiice.
."Mthough the entire ConimeneemeTit
lirogram, lasting from l""riday. May IS,
until Sunday afternoon, will Ik- free from
any unessential ex;ra\agancL's owing to
war oiirlitions, the usual activities of past
years will in general he carried out.
On Friilay afternoon, shortly after the
Class Day pr<Kvedings, there will he a
baseball game with Mass. .St.ite, followed
by social reunions that evening. Saturd;iy
morning will be taken up with the annual
meetingof the .Society of .iMumni in Chapin
Hall, while S;itur<lay afternoon the
President's annual reception for the
trustees will he given. During that
evening, the class reunion banquets will he
given. On Sun<lay niorniiii;, ili,' Thom|)-
son Chapel will he the scene of the bac-
calaureate. ( '.raduation exorcises will take
place at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
.'\lthough the Alumni Office has an-
nounced that plans for returning classes
have not yet been definitely established,
it is hoped that many alumni will be able
to return. In accordance with the |V)licy
of economy caused by the war, the re-
turning classes will probably do without
bands or uniforms this year. Throughout
the Commencement period, however, the
Alumni House will be open to all grad-
uates.
Campus Management
Program May Start
In June, Says Linder
"Campus Business Management is still
in a state of flux," said Fred E. Linder '12,
chairman of the Alumni C<miniiltee in a
telephone interview Wednesday, "but
things are rapidly drawing to a con-
clusion." Chairman Linder emphasized
that according to present plans the system
may be in operation at the beginning of
the summer semester.
In a previous letter to The Reoobd,
Mr. Linder said, "1 have read with interest
the item in the editorial column of your
issue of April 3, deploring the lack of in-
formation regarding the recent progress of
the Campus Business Management at
Williams College.
"1 am not surprised with this im-
patience. .Some of this delay was due to
the illness of the writer — but since his
recovery, much has been done in exploring
the matter of procuring a resident business
manager."
The Undergraduate Committee, meet-
ing Tuesday night, approved the CBM
by-laws with the exception of a provisicm
for term of office of the student group.
This provision, subject to further con-
sideration, was changed so that term of
office will coincide with that of the Under-
graduate Council.

Begins This Summer
liy D.\vii) W. TniiitsTON '44
Rich:ird A. Newhall, chairman of the
faculty, disclosed Wednesday that in
response to direct retiuests by the Army
ami Navy the faculty had uiMi'iimously
passed a pre gram of cr>mpulsor> athletics
for all classes at \heir meeting last Mon-
day, This plan will be preseited to the
Board of Trustees when they convene
next week.
3 Periods For Week
The pl;in requires |iarlicip:ition in sonv.'
form of athletics three times a week for
;ill undergraduates. These three periods
the same as is now in effect for the two
lower classes, were rccomnieniled by both
the .\rmy and Navy. Although no cut-
ting arrangement has as yet been made,
both Dr. Kdwin A. Locke, director of
health and athletics, and William G.
Perry, assistant to the dean, declared that
they would work together closely in en-
forcing :'ttendance.
More Intense Athletics
Dr. Locke said that there would still be
P. T. chisses, but that iittereollegiati'
sports, both varsity and freshman, woulo
be emphasized more than ever. He feels
that Students profit more from ti'ams than
P. T. because of the "discipline, asso-
(;iati<)n with other colleges, and the espril
lie corps."
Sine- ihe .Army and Navy urgi'd com-
pulsiir\- athlotics. Professor Newhall st;iteo
that he believed that it "should be con-
ducte<l in line with the pre-iniluction needs
for toughening up recruits. I am hopeful
that till- physical education departmen,
will organize its activities in such a way as
lo provide the toughening the service
wanis."
New Point o£ View

service gives the ph.vsic.d education de-
partment a new imint of view towards

I'lic same KniU|) "( Amherst athletes

invilaliiin for tonight to Williams sport
stars, wliicli was ilcdim'd bi-caiisf iif the
conflict of athletic seheilulcs and the pres-
sure (if time.
Strict Accountability
From .Number I Hopkins comes news that the faculty has unanimous-
ly approved eompiil.sory athletics for all four cla.s.ses. This action is
extremely well-advised, not only because the armed services have asked
Williams for a i)rofi;rain to "toughen U|) recruits" befor-e indnclioii, but
al.so because iii)percla.s.smen who feel the need for exerci.se will now be
forced to act.
Merely voting Ihe rule, however, will not make compulsory athletics
effective. Williams men, prompted by various motives, ask this question:
Will the physical education dei)arlinent rigidly enforce the cominil.sory
program next semester? For they realize that if P. T. instructors do not
hold each iinderKradnate to strict accountability at all times, the new
program is certain lo fail.
Last year the |)hysical education deparlmenl abandoned the un-
necessary leniency which formerly made P. T. jirofitless for many. We
hoi)e this indicates that the new compulsory athletic jjrogram will be
striiigenlly enrorced by all 1'. T. instrnctors and that easily evaded
attendance chart.s, too lenient supervision, and unneces.sary medical ex-
cu.ses will not be a part of the new order.

Holden's strong 'A' team was jolted,

outlil as the stickmen began linal prepara-
tions for the opening match with a practice
scrimmage.
B' Team Shines
Running circles around Holden and his

while Al James and Dave Brown shared
honors at the goalie slot. \t attack, Hal
Johnson, Kog llubbell, and Nip Mears
ccMilributi'd their share toward the victory,
while Dick Means and Ralph Kenzi
guarded the midlield.
Bob Buck, Bud Brown, Ed .Shefliekl,

Yearling Trackmen
Place in Cup Meet
Horrax Ties in Jumps;
Baseball, Tennis Squads
in Outdoor Workouts
by Cii.\uuK Hhvuu '45
Preshman athletes took to the out-of-
doors last week for their spring sports
workouts as the tennis and baseball squads
had their first real practice sessions. The
Lehman Cup meet kept the trackmen
busy while Dick Colman started his
lacrosse squad on team play drills.
Two of Tony Pkmsky's yearling track
candidates took over the jnnqiing events
in the annual college meet. Tra llorra.x
paced the 1945 entrants as he took third
place with 14i points. He split first in
the |)ole vault with Nip Wilson, a junior,
tied with freshman Carter Munsie in high
jump, and ran second in the high hurdles.
Munsie also won first in the broad jump
to total 9i points. Jim Bacharach, Tom
Dohin, Bob Maxfieid and Larry .Smith
earned points in the running events.
TliL' lacro.sse men have moved from pre-
liminary drills in fundamentals to team
and position play. Although hinipered
by wet ground on Cole Field, the s(|uacl is
developing rapidly. Al Boiiynge, Red
Marshall, Howell Nomer and Fred Scar-
borough are fighting it out for three
attack positions and Dave C.oodhart is
still the standout goalie.
John lirown and Les Johnston, two
fast-imiiroving rookies, are pressing Bill
Nelson, Pete Kice and Russ Tucker for
the midfield posts. C.il Lefferts is the
only \-eteran defense man but ;ui inex-
perienced group, led b\- Art \orys, is
learning rapidly.
The baseball stpiad had its first ri'al
practice Wednesday when Coach Fielding
Simmons devoted the afternoon to infield
and batting drills. The ball team, due to
open the freshman spring season against
Wilbraham .\pril 18, will ])lay a three game
schedule instead of the previously an-
nounced two contests. A game with
Pitlsfield High has been listed for April 2.3.
Assistant Professor Ro\- Lamson's com-
position court became the center of tennis
activity this week as the netnien gave up
their monopoly of the gym floor in favor
of outdoor work. Coach Clarence C.
Chaffee expects to have the college courts
in condition by sometime next week.
Dick Hole, former Kent School ace and
semi-finalist in the Rockwood Cup tourney
last fall, is the leading candidate, while
Bart \'an Mesdag has also shown U|) well
to (late. Chafifee, with onl>- two of his
varsity men returning this summer, is

experience to the sophomore-studded
iiilield. Captain Gunnar Hagstrom and

Heavy Registration
In Sciences, Dean's
Statistics Reveal
Chem, Math, and Physics
Courses Popular With
War - Minded Students
Statistics released by the Dean's office
yesterday showed a marked reversal of a
trend of past years towards registration in
the sjcial sciences, as students of the three
lower classes selected their courses for the
coming year. The physics department in
particidar experienced an increase in
popularity, as 219 men signed up for
courses, compared with 101 last year.
This increase was reflected in lesser rises
in registration for chemistry and math
courses, and in marked decreases in regis-
tration in the English, history, and po-
litical science departments.
V- 1 Partly Responsible
This shift may be partially accounted
for by the recent Naval \'-l recommenda-
tion, emphasizing math and physics as
prerequisites for a commission. The trend
towards sciences was foreshadowed last
year by heavy chemistry registration,
which prompted the Trustees to vote the
addition to the Chem Lab. The number
of upperclassmen choosing beginning
courses in mathematics jiuiiped from 30
to 102, while the total for the department
rose from 157 to 24.3.
In comparison with these figures were
the sharp drops in registration in social
science, language, and literature courses.
Political science fell the farthest, from .373
to 288, while the number of students
electing English courses dropped from
371 to 301. Similarly, history registration
decreased from 25.S to 183. The economics
department nearly held its own, 294
registrations this year, as compared with
313 last spring.
Major Registration
The same swing was carried through in
major registrations, though not demon-
strated so strongly. Economics major
registration rose from 46 to 49 to share the
lead with political science, which fell from
70. The three year-old American history
and literature major, apparently un-
affected by the general trend, jumped
from 35 to 43.
Physics major registration leaped from
16 to .30, chemistry rose from 30 to 3.S,
and geology increased from 16 to 22. The
mathematics major inexplicably dro|)pcd
from 18 to 9, while English fell from 35 to
31, and Fine Arts decreased from 22 to 14.
Honors Registration
44 members of 1944 registered for
honors, in comparison with 51 members
of the class of 1943 (of whom only 33 arc
returning next year) and 34 members of
the class of 1942. Chemistry captured
nearly 25% of the '44 honors men, as 10
registered in that department, making a
total of 12, or twice the number last year.
The nimiber of American history and
literature honors inen rose from 12 to 16,
to lead this field. Political science honors
fell in popularity from 17 to 7, and eco-
nomics from 9 to 5. Physics honors men
exftctly doubled, from 3 to 6, and English
mathematics enjoyed slight rises. History
failed to attract a single honors man from
the present sophomore class.

Keller's First Book
History Professor
Discusses 19th Century
Religious Regeneration
{This review was wrilten nt the request
of the editors hy C. Frederick Rudolph, Jr.
'42, recently retired editor-in-chief of The
Record.)
Associate Professor Charles R. Keller
joined the ranks of book-writing Williams
historians this week with the publication
by the Yale University Press of The
Second Great Awakening in Connecticut.
The 275-page book is an account of
Connecticut variations on a n.ition-wide
spiritual regeneration which took place
early in nineteenth-century Annrica.
Although limiting his treatiuent to an
analysis of the religious scene in Connec-
ticut from approximately 1795 to 1826,
Mr. Keller makes clear in his preface that
the Second Cireat Awakening was a
nation-wide movement, resulting in the
triumph of religious faith over infidelity
and indifference, which had foMowed the
American Kevolution. The revivalism and
activities of President Edward Dorr
Griffin of Williams, which have been
credited with saving the college early in
the 1800's, Mr. Keller indicates, consti-
tute a Massachusetts aspect of the Second
Great Awakening.
As students of American history at
Williams know, Mr. Keller is not an anti-
quarian, satisfied merely with unearthing
the past. His first book also has a focus
on the present, and is written with the
consciousness that present-day Americans
arc also being challenged to renew "the
faith of their fathers."
The Second Great Awakening in Connec-
ticut receives its name from the fact that
the religious revivalism which it ex-
pressed comes second in time to the
Great Awakening of Jonathan Edwards

Russian War Relief Committee, said "I
think it is a perfecth' magnifici'nt action.
It shows that Williams students ri'alize
the importance of their Russian allii^s."
Russian War Relief, a nation-wide
organi/aticjii, is purchasing medical sup-
plies, lood concentrates, and clothing to
be sent to Russia. The funds ni'cessary
for these purchases are obtained thnjugh
donations. ni(]ne\' obtained from benefit
performances, and from chest fund drives.
Central Purchasing Agency
The purchasing of supplies is done by
cciinpetent experts through a central
agency in this country. The supplies are
now distriliuteil in Russia through a
Russian organization, !)ut as soon as the
volume of aid warrants it, .American
representatives will be sent lo the U. S.
S. R. tosupervisethedislribulion. Trans-
portation to Russia is carried on without
cost to the committee and with full co-
operation of the l'nit<'d States shipping
authorities.
A Youth Division of the Russian War
Relief has been formed in order to bring
college undergraduates and other xoung
people into the program. Campus chest
drives, sjivings banks in which small
student donations might be collected,
benefit parties, clothes collectiims, and
exhibits are a few of the ways suggested
for youth participation.
.Serge Kous.sevil/ky, noted conductor,
will give a benefit performance during the
Berkshire Music Festival next August at
Stockbridge. Plans for a comnmnity
dance, July 4, in the Lasell gymnasium
and the showing of Our Rus-nan Front at
the Walden Theater have been made
tentatively. The proceeds from these
entertainments will be donated to the
Russian War Relief.
Traditional Qargoyle
Tapping Ceremonies
Moved Up to May 2
Saturday, May 2 Williams students
will take time out fnmi final examinations
to observe the forty-seventh annual
Gargo\le cerennmies on the lab campus.
Traditionally staged after the Amherst
baseball game on Menn>rial Day, Gargoyle
tapping has been moved up this year be-
cause of the acailemir speed-up neces-
sitated by the war.
The historic program will be officially
opened on Weston Field at 2:30 p.m.
when the Williams baseball team meets
Wesleyan in the onl>- scheduled 1942 en-
counter between the two colleges. The
game will be followetl immediately by the
inter-class singing C(mtest on the steps of
Je.sup Hall.
Before the members of Gargoyle leave
Jcsup Hall, the Grosvenor Cup will be
awarded to that junior who "best ex-
emplifies the traditicm of Williams." The
program will then be concluded when the
seventeen members of the cla.ss of 1942,
who make up the undergraduate Gargoyle
group, tap the members of the succeeding
delegation from the class of 1943.

NAVY ANNOUNCEMENT
TO COLLEGE FRESHMEN
AND SOPHOMORES 17-19
You want to serve your country!
Why not serve where your college
training will do the most good?
Under the Navy's newest plan, you can en-
list now and continue in college. If you make
a good record, you may qualify within two
years to become a Naval Officer — on the
sea or in the air.
Who may qualify
80,000 men per year will be accepted under
this new plan. If you are between the ages
of 17 and 19 inclusive and can meet Navy
physical standards, you can enlist now as an
Apprentice Seaman in the Naval Reserve.
You will be in the Navy. But until you have
finished two calendar years, you will remain
in college, taking regular college courses
under your own professors. Your studies
will emphasize mathematics, physics and
physical training.
After you have successfully completed 1}4
calendar years of work, you will be given a
written examination prepared by the Navy.
This examination is competitive. It is de-
signed to select the best men for training as
Naval Officers.
How to become an Officer
If you rank sufficiently high in the examina-
tion and can meet the physical standards,
you wiU have your choice of two courses
— each leading to an officer's commission:
1. You may volunteer for training as an
Aviation Officer. In this case you will be per-
mitted to finish at least the second calendar
year of your college work, after which you
will be ordered to active duty for training
to become an officer-pilot. Approximately
20,000 men a year will be accepted for
Naval Aviation.
2. Or you uill be selected for training as a
Deck or Engineering Officer. In this case you
will be allowed to continue your college
work until you have received your degree.
After graduation you will be ordered to active
duty for training to become a Deck or En-
gineering Officer. Approximately 15,000 men
a year will be accepted.
If you do not qualify for special officer's
training, you will be allowed to finish the
second calendar year of college, after which
you will be ordered to active duty at a Naval
Training Station as Apprentice Seaman.
Those who fail to pass their college work
at any time may be ordered to active duty
at once as Apprentice Seamen.
Your pay starts with active duty.
Here's a real opportunity. A chance to
enlist in your country's service now without
giving up your college training ... a chance
to prove by that same training that you are
qualified to be an officer in the Navy.
DON'T WAIT . . . ACT TODAY

Spring 1942
This weekend spring in Williamstown means hou.separties. In
other i)arts of the world — Russia, Au.stralia, the Philippines — ■ spring
means something of incomparably greater importance. There men are
dying for the cause of the United Nations. There the enemy wil' soon
launch ofl'ensives on a scale the world has never seen. There the dynamic
of democracy will meet its crucial test.
We will not follow five other college editors in assailing their readers
for sjjonsoring "a weekend of laughter" during the grimmest days of
American history since 1861. We are certain Williams undergraduates
realize that "somewhere men are using bullets instead of beer-can open-
ers." We hope Russian War Relief buttons will sell heavily as tangible
evidence that Williams will not forget, even for a brief moment, the men
who are dying for freedom.
Those men arc dying to make such happiness as we are privileged to
know in America possible. They are fighting for that, and all the
privileges of free government. "In a weekend of laughter," let us not
lose sight of our great and solemn responsibility. If we fail to do our part
for the people of all nations in this war, we will lose forever the freedom
which now permits us to enjoy a brief vacation.

Since (he reception of the letter, Mr.

French in Atlantic
Extremely vague is all news regarding
Joseph L. French '40. Trained at An-
napolis after graduating from Williams,
French was serving as a reserve ensign.
when the ship on which he was stationed
was sunk somewhere in the North Atlantic.
No conlirmation of his death has yet been
given out by the Alumni Office, however.
A member of Chi Psi, French played foot-
ball during his freshman year. His home
was in South Swansea.
Martin on Lan^ley
Also reported lost at sea on February
27 is Martin, a reserve ensign on the U. S.
S. Langley at the time of that ship's
destruction by Japanese dive-bombers.
The Langley, a converted air-craft tender,
had been carrying a large number of
pursuit planes to Java in order to aid in
the defense of the Dutch island, when it
was "practically smothered" under hun-
dreds of bombs released by the Japanese
flyers. Although quite a few survivors
of the Langley were rescued by the Pecos,
a naval tanker, the latter ship was also
sunk by the enemy bombers with great
loss of life.
Martin, who lived in Oneonta, N. Y.,
was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa while
at college. During his junior year, he was
manager of freshman swimming. He was
also business manager of the News Bureau.
After graduating from Williams, he re-
ceived the degree of master in business
administration from Harvard in June,
1941.

A tiny pin-hole in a telephone cable can admit
moisture, causing short circuits and service inter-
ruptions. But Bell System men have found a way of
beating this trouble to the punch.
They charge the cable with dry nitrogen under
pressure. Then should a leak develop, the escaping
gas keeps moisture out. Instruments on the cable
detect the drop in pressure . . . sound an alarm at a
nearby station . . . indicate the approximate location
of the break. A repair crew is quickly on its way.
To maintain and improve America's all-important
telephone service, men of the Bell System are con-
stantly searching for the better way. Pioneering
minds find real opportimity in telephone work.

Cap & Bells Scores Hit With 'Craig's Wife'
Eleanor Roberts, Slade '44 Star in Leads
by A. Henby Hbdukn, Jr., '44
Cap and Bells, Inc. took a new lease on
life last evening in staging, in the opinion
of this reviewer, Its best production since
the opening of the year-old Adams Mem-
orial Theatre. The mere selection of a
play such as (ieorge Kelly's Craig':, Wife
shows courage on the part of the producers
— courage which, with hard work, has
produced something really commendable.
The very word houseiiarties usuidly calls
for something light and comic; here we
have an experiment, a play which is
serious, a play with "food for thought,"
yet a play which has comedy — a different
kind of comedy.
Craig's Wife is the story of a material-
istic and incretlibly selfish woman who has
married not for love, but for a home. She
has married a house, not a man. She is
so "little" and so wrapped up in making
her home secure that she tries to alienate
her husband from his friends, and in her
cruelly subtle way, even to force her
husband out in order to maintain this
home. She is so meticulously proud of
her house that she will not let him smoke
in the parlor and goes so far as to send the
indignant housekeeper out to dust the
leaves of the trees.
ScltiiiK 'Appropriale'
Whether Crrng's Wife is of l^ulitzer
Prize calibre is another (piestion — what
1 am concerneil with is Cap and Bells'
excellent production of this play. In
Kugene O'Neill's Marcn Millicms the play
was written to fit the elidiorate sittings,
in this the one-unit set is designed to fit
the |)lay. The effecti\ely simjile yet
elegant setting provi<les the rippropriate
background for a Mrs. Craig and deser\-es
the recognition it received from the
audience.
Happily last niglu's performance found
not one or two actors deserving high
praise, but m<iny. Mrs. Ciaig (Eleanor
K. Roberts) played her part extremely
well. In a naturally unsympathetic role
she developed her selfish, mean, and utterly
despicable characteristics to the ix.int
where the audience attained a relish and
delight in her denouement. Craig.
(Lawrence Slade '44) the "romantic fool"
who takes so long to see through his wife,
is played with a polish of almost pro-
fissional character, reaching its height at
the end of the second act after he has
disco\ered the real Mrs. Craig .old feels
the crushing impact of this knowledge.
Proviile Comedy
The comic touch, ,so vitally necessary to
this play, is supplieil in al.'undance by the
typically Irish housekeeper, Mrs. Harold
(Jane llatlield), v\hose sharpness of tongue
and hobbling gait add to the aniusement
of the aiidience and consternation of Mrs.
("raig. Hardly less commendable was the
neighborhood sentimental and outspoken
Mrs. Krazier (Mrs. Long). A palm also
goes to Miss Austen (Elizabeth Hliss
Newhall) for her fine work in finally
bringing about the showdown beiween
(raig and his wife.
With the almost professional acting of
the greater part of the play it seems a
shame to have insetted the anti-climactic
let down of the young lovers scene be-
tween Ethel (Ida B. Branch) and young
professor P'rederick (John 1". Morgan '43).
Admittedly this is a difficult scene to act—
I think it was unnecessary and tended to
detract from the continuity of the pro-
duction. If the performance failed an\'
place else, it was in the final scene where
Mrs. Craig finds herself alone with only
the house left. It fails by the narrowest
margin to match the high standards set in
the rest of the play — it just seemed to be a
little too long and too slowly played.
Cap and Hells has tried an experiment
in producing a serious houseparty play, I
think Cap and Hells has succeeded.
HOUSEPARTIES
(Continued from page 1)
Sixteen haywagons, chartered by dif-
ferent groups will be clogging the roads
about town after the play, if the weather
holds good. Indications were that it
would be fine Friday night. Every
vehicle within twenty miles has been
commandeered for the occasion, and will
be pressed into service. Professor Milham
regretfully announced that there would be
"virtually no moon".
Athletic Events
Tomorrow the baseball team journeys to
West Point to open its season against the
Cadets, who were taken into camp by the
New ^'ork Giants on Monday. The la-
crosse team, which forced Dartmouth, the
New England Champions, into an over-
time before succumbing on Wednesday at
Hanover, N. H., f.ices Tufts on Cole t'leld
at 2:30 p. m. Tony Plansky's cinder
stpiad, unbeaten in the last five years, and
fresh from an opening victory over Middle-
bury last .S.iturday, will attempt to
lengthen their victory string at the expense
nf the University of Rochester on Weston
Field at 2:30. The yearling nine plays
\\ ilbraham in its first game at the same
time on Cole Field.
In comparison with other years when
C.len Miller, .'Krtie Shaw, and Will Bradley
h.ive played to houseparty crowds, no
name bands will be on campus, as a result
of an Undergraduate Council economy
ruling. Seven house dances, with six
bands playing, will be held. In place of
corsages, girls will wear buttons, proceeds
from the sale of which will go to Russian
War Relief.
Impromptu Activities
In addition to these scheduled enter-
tainments, miscellaneous |ilanned and
impromptu .ictivities will doubtless go en.
Softball games will mushroom r,n Saturday
ifternoon, the Creeping Bent Tee Party,
and the 4 a. m. White Tie Tennis Tourna-
ment will again be held.
Hringing the weekend to a close. Rev-
erend Charles Cdlkcy, dean of the chapel,
Chicago University, will preach the sermon
at chapel service in the Thompson Mem-
orial Chapel Sunday night at 5:30.

Local Representatives
AttendOCD Conference
Representing the faculty and students
of Williams College, .Associate Professor
Winthrop II. Root, and John T. Finken-
staedt '43 journeyed to Cambridge last
Saturday to attend "The College of
Civilian Defense", a conference of New
England colleges and universities spon-
sored by the OCD.
The I.SO delegates gathered in Phillips
Brooks House of Harvard University
sulimitted reports to the OCD on the
defense preparations completed at their
respective colleges for condjination into a
comprehensive report to be circulated in
the near future. The major proportion
of the day was spent in listening to
speeches of ranking civilian defense
ofiicials and in discussion groups and
panels.
Mr. Root stated this week, that by the
standards set by the conference and the
limits set by the size of the college com-
munity, the Williams ARP system was
more than up to par, with all essentials
covered and those things "not yet com-
pleted, in the process of being developed."

with ihf iKitciit Arni\- lials. I.asl season
the lanky right haiuler chalked u|) an
impressive record of live wins and hut a
single loss. Hiji Hoh C.ardner will likeK
get the nod over Frannie Dolan and Monk
Stanli-\ behind the plate.
The rifjht side of the infield will tie hi Id
ilowii li\ a pair of veterans. Hob Swam,
for llu- \ii>l two years a regular oul-
liekler, has been converted to the initial
sack, while Captain Gunnar Hagstroin,
who al one lime or other has seen service
all iiroiind the diamond, will play second
base.
On the other side of second at the hot
corner and shortstop will be two sopho-
mores, Dick Emery and Bill Donovan,
whose lieldins!; finesse has earned them
startinj; herlhs, Donovan and Swain
are the only portside hitters on the team.
The outfield will see the sluguinj!,
bulli'l -armed pair of Bill Schmidt and
Gmiiiar Hayes holdinK down two of the
pcLsts. Jack Uarter will probably gi-l the
rij;lu lield assignment (jver Bill Ford and
iJolan.
The Cadets will field an e.vperienced
club against the Purple. Opening their
season two weeks ago, they overcame
Cornell, 5-1, and three days later pounded
out an 8-2 decision over Vermont. Mon-
day ihoy kept on even terms with the New
York (jiants for five cantos, before a
si.\lh inniuK uprising by the major leaguers
salted the contest away, 12-,?. Games
with Georgetown and Harvard are also
on the Army schedule before the encounter
with tile Epiimen.
Captain Hill Garland, veteran left
liehler, leads the Cadets from the number
two slot in the batting order. Following
him to the plate are Hank Mazur and
Johnny Guckeyson, each of whom has
already walloped a home run in the y<iung
season.

Freshman Baseball Team Faces Wilbraham
In Opening Game Tomorrow on Cole Field
Coach I'ielding Simmons' baseball nine
will open the freshman spring sports
season, at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon when
the>' face Wilbraham Academy on the
j Cole FTeld diamond. Plagued by cold
I weather and snow all spring, the yearlings
1 will enter the game well below peak
. condition.
Wit h only one week of hard work behind
them, all men still show the lack of ade-
<|uate practice and conditioning. The
' pitchers have had trouble getting their
I arms in shape and have not been able to
' open up in workouts. As a consequence,
the Williams batters will face real hurling
for the first tin)e when they take the field
Saturday.
Smith Leads Hurlers
Phil Smith, lanky southpaw, is Sim-
mons' choice for the probable starting
pitcher, but no positions have been
delinitely clinched. Lefty Ralph Quin-

Weak Hitting Team
In the (irst of several practice games
Smith beat Quintana and the tentative
first team handily. Emmet Herndon
caught Smith while X'arley, Tim Tyler,
Irv Fish and Bob Plunkett held down the
second team infield. Although a bit wild
and still taking it easy. Smith gave a good
performance. Both teams were weak on
hitting and errors were frequent on thv
bumpy diamond.
Next Thursda\' the ball team meets
Pittsfield High in its second scheduled
game. Simmons, however, hopes to book
another game early next week, increasing
his schedule to four games. Hotehkiss is
the final game a week from tomorrow.
The lacrosse team meets Deerfield in its
only match of the season Wednesday on
Cole Field. Dick Colman has continued

Rugg-Hunt Duo Wins
Squash Doubles Title
Two smooth-stroking sophomores, Dan
Rugg and Tod Hunt, edged out Bob Hen-
drie and Wils Barnes, 16-15, ,3-15, 18-17,
18-17, Monday to annex the college squash
doubles championship.
Cagey teamwork proved the deciding
margin in the final as the senior team
clicked in only one of the four games.
Barnes, a newcomer to the game, and
Hendrie, captain of the 1942 squash squad,
hit their stride momentarily to take the
second game, but could not continue the
pace. Barnes was a last minute substi-
tute for Dude Hemphill, who entered as
Hendrie's partner in the original pairings
but withdrew just before the first round.
Hemphill left college to join the Naval Air
Force.
The winners gained the final round by
downing Art Lee and Bud Edwards, 3-2,
in the semi-finals, while the Hcndrie-
Barnes team blanked Frank Wozencraft
and Gordon Michler. The losers dropped
only one game in the early rounds and had
the best pre-final record.
Tennis Team Opens
Against Middlebury
Led by Captain Jack Larned and
sophomore star Tod Hunt, the varsity
tennis team will meet Middlebury here
next Thursday in the only dual match of
the spring season. Although the college
courts have not been opened yet. Coach
Clarence C. Chaffee plans to have them
ready for the match.
With five Icttermcn back, singles pros-
pects look good, but Commencement hit
the doubles division hard. Hunt, winner
of the 1941 Rockwood Cup tourney and a
member of last >ear's freshman squad,
will hold down the top singles post while
Larned will be in the second spot. Chaffee
tentatively lists Harry McKown, Ralph
Dawson, Wils Barnes and Ed Reade in
that order to round out the singles men.
The entire s(|uad is battling for the
doubles positions. All three 1941 pairs
graduated last June and Chaffee has not
named the new combinations yet.
Taconic Golf C»ur$9
In Excellent Condition
Coach Dick Baxter reports that the
Taconic Golf Club course is in very
good condition as a result of the past
week of rain and warm weather.
The greens and fairways are shaping
up well and the entire course is dry
and open for play. The greens will
be cut before Saturday.
Baxter says both regular members
and students claim the course is in
"better condition than it haseverbeen
at this time of the year."
Golf Squads Organize
For Weekend Tryouts
Only One Varsity Match
on Short Spring Card
Student golf activity began last Tuesday
as Dick Baxter, college coach and pro of
the Taconic Golf Club, announced that
team tryouts for all varsity and freshman
candidates would be held this weekend.
Both teams will see action for the only
time this spring over next weekend when
the varsity journeys to Worcester for the
New England Collegiate Golf Association
tourney F'riday and Saturday, April 24-25,
while the yearlings tackle Hotehkiss on the
Taconic links Saturday.
Qualifying Ends Monday
Qualifying rounds will be the best two
rounds out of three, medal play. The
deadline for freshman rounds is Wed-
nesday night but the varsity limit has been
pushed up to Monday night for the team
must be announced to the E. C. G. A.
early Wednesdaj-.
Varsity Captain Pete Hussey heads
four returning veterans while Bob McKee,
a freshman star last year and current
college champion, tops the other candi-
dates. Holdovers Pete Davis, Herb Gay
and Bill Raynsford all saw action a year
ago. Davis and Hussey were semi-
finalists and Davis was medalist in the
college tourney last fall. Other prospects
are upperclassmen Fred Barnes, Chub
Moore, Mai Moore and several sopho-
mores from last season's yearling st|uad.
Six men will be picked for the Worcester

I7th Straight Win
Over Middlebury

Hearne Takes Three Ists;
Rochester Tomorrow
by Boi) Miller '44
Williams war-riddled trackmen gamble
their seventeen -meet string of victories
SaturdaN- afternoun at 2:30, on Weston
Kield, when the s(|uad tackles the Uni-
\'ersity of Rochester who arrive fresh from
a decisive win over R. V. I. Boasting a
well-rounded team rather than one of
individual stars, t he Rochestermen amassed
only seven of the fourteen first places in
their dual meet with the Engineers, but
scooped a majority of seconds and thirds
lo triumph 68J to 48J.
Englert Middlebury Star
With great gaps in the Ephmen's

id javelin, and with Englert of Rochester

' "t which parallel those Brew Chapman set to
win those events in Tuesday's Middle-
bury meet, the outcome of Saturday's
meet may well be decided in the linal
event.
Hearne Sets Pace
The highly-touted Eph trackmen chalk-
ed up their initial win of the 1942 cam-
paign on Tuesday, when they journeyed
lo Middlebury for the season's opener.
With Captain Al Hearne setting the pace
liy sweeping firsts in the shot-put, discus,
and hammer-throw, the Ephmen cap-
tured ten of the fifteen first places to
iriiunce Middlebury, 71J to 63i
Chapman Takes Mile
Brew Chapman, veteran middle distance
runner, led the cindermen with smashing
victories in the half-mile in 2:01.2, and in
the mile run with a 4:41 . Chapman cross-
ed the finish the victor in the mile only
after fighting o(T a determined challenge
by Morse of Middlebury, who clung to
him until the back stretch. Stebbins of
Middlebury also proved a stubborn rival
in the half-mile as he dogged Chapman
until he faltered in the last five yards.
Warner Peck, New England Indoor 600-
yard champion, led Stebbins to the tape
in the quarter in 50.6, with Dick Huns-
dorfer placing third.
Eph's Potent in Weights
Showing their greatest potency in the
weight events, Williams placed three men
in the shot-put, two in the hammer-throw,
and two in the discus, as Hearne garnered
three firsts, Ed Mulcahy delivered three
places, and George Huston added a second.
De WoUe Wins 100
The widest margin of victory was
earned by Ken Moore who came home
with an eighty yard margin over his
teammate Art Richmond in the two-mile
in 10:48.3. Both veteran cross-country-
men led the nearest Middlebury contender
liy half a lap. Jim De Wolfe, mercuric
Most Anglers Catch Twelve-Trout Limit
On Opening Day of Mass, Fishing Season
Williamstown anglers lost no time in ushering in the 1942 trout season in
Massachusetts last Tuesday when college and Spring Street rod and reel experts
made a 5:30 a. ni. foray on Hancock Brook, just outside of South Williams-
town.
Albert V. Osterhout '06, gradiiale*^
manager of athletics, and Spring Street
merchants Tom Walsh and Jack Hendc^r-
son were among those on the sunrise ex-
pedition, as were student enthusiasts Bob
Dill, Sprague Seftoii, and George Sumers
(see cut).
IVout, mostly rainbow but also some
brook, were plentiful and nearly all of the
sportsmen netteil the limit of twelve b\'
mid-morning. Tom Walsh hit the nail
on the head in the Gym Lunch at noon
when he told golf pro Dick Ba.xler "O. K.,
1 have my limit now and can get back to
golf this afternoon."
Gets Biggest Fish
Notable exception was Sumers, who had
to leave after an hour. He brought seven
rainfiows back when he r<!turned for
classes.
Sefton claims a twelve-inch rainbow as
the biggest fish caught by a student, while
no information has been received as to the
largest non-college catch. Reports from
the Green liiver anglers, however, indicate
larger fish there.
When the New York State trout season
opened April 4, several local anglers fished
the Kinderhook stream below .Stephen-
town with no fish reported caught.

Williams Yachtsmen
Enter First Contest
Two crews from the Williams Yacht
Club enters the Owen Trophy Dinghy
Championship Regatta at Boston today
in their first competition of the current
season. Junior Johnny Fuller, commodore
of th'e organization, acts as skipper of one
boat, with Free Boynton as crew, while
Howie Redficld and Hugh Masters co-
skipper the second entry.
The regatta, sponsored by the Inter-
Collegiate Yacht Racing Association, is
the second annual afTair of its kind, with
only certain eastern colleges and service
academies eligible for entrance. Brown,
the Coast Guard Academy, Cornell,
Dartmouth, Harvard, the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Navy, Pennsyl-
vania, Princeton, Williams and Vale are
represented this year.
The regatta, under the auspices of the
Harvard Yacht Club, runs in two divisions
with one entry from all competing schools
in each. The courses are laid out in the
Charles River Basin, and the combined
total of points of both crews will represent
the final score for each college.
Other regattas coming later in the
season, which Williams may or may not
attend, include a mixed boys and girls
college race at Brown University on April
25, and a regatta at the Coast Guard
Bowl in New London May 2 and 3.
Six More Contests
Scheduled on Sports
Program for Spring
Albert V. Osterhout '06, graduate
manager of athletics, announced Wednes-
day that six additional contests are sched-
uled for Williams spring athletic teams.
The varsity tennis team will meet
Middlebury here on April 23, and then
will journey to Wesleyan for the New
Englands on May 11-13. The varsity
golf team has definitely been entered in the
New England Collegiate Golf Association
tourney at Worcester on April 24-25.
Three freshman teams have secured
additional games, all to be played in
Williamstown. On April 23 the baseball
team will play Pittsfield High School, and
on April 25 both the yearling golf and
tennis teams will oppose Hotchkiss.

A Break In its inaugural appearance.
For 1946 this column wishes to throw
its wholehearted sup-
port behind the college's decision to retain
freshman teams. The only e,\cuse for
abolishing yearling squads would be that
there were not enough participants to
make the sport profitable for first year
men. But news from Tom Wood's office
that a class of about 200 will enter in
June indicates that for the time being
anyway, there is no need to cut out this
valuable part of the Williams athletic
program.
Some contend that our varsity teams will
compete against colleges playing freshmen.
We feel, however, that it is far more im-
portant, especially during wartime, to
allow a very high percentage of yearlings
to get experience in intercollegiate com-
petition, than to win varsity games. What
is more, the present athletic set-up gives
the bewildered newcomers a chance to
compete with students of their own abil-
ities.
Army's Charlie Caldwell's charges
Big Guns run up against a stiff test
tomorrow^ at West Point when
they tackle a powerful Army nine. The
Cadets have a well-balanced mound staff
and a batting order that would make most
pitchers shudder. In their three collegiate
contests to date the future officers have
amassed a phenomenal batting average
of .349, driving out a pair of doubles, six
triples, and two homers.
Satch Lare will not be without a pre-
cedent, though, for last year in the opener
against Penn, his right arm set the Quakers
down with six hits and a single run, while

THE WILLIAMS RECORD, FRIDAY, APRIL 17. 1942
Mrs. Roy Lamson Lauds,-'The Class of 1942
-A Survey by the Editors," in Sketch Review
by Mks. Kov Lamson, Jh.
By farthf most important feature of the
April issue of Sketch is "The Class of 1942
— A Survey by The Kditors." This lead
article is a piece of work th.it the retiring
editors of a retiring magazine can well be
proud of. It is a task of enormous mag-
nitude, handled with a clarity and sim-
pliciiy that Mr. fiallup himself would have
difficulty improving on. A note on the
editorial page tells us that in this poll
there were (>\er a hundred thousand items
to be counted and evaluated. In 1938
the members of the Kreshman class ans-
wered a (|iiestionnaire which had been
prepared for them by the Kditors of .S'ArtcA.
The survivors of that I'Veshman class have
this year answered another (|uestionnaire
desij^ncd by the Editors of Skrlclt to be a
"Study of Social CJutlook." The question-
naire is divided into five parts; Back-
ground, Knowledge, Attitude, Self-an-
alysis, and finally "Williams Seniors Look
at the War." No attempt can be made
here to remark specifically on the wide
range of statistics which are embodied
in the article. Hut the Kditors of Sketch
deserve congratulations for the fine over-
all picture which they have given of The
Williams Undergraduate, and for the
highly intelligent, mature, detached, witty,

realistic and thoughtful interpretation
the)' have gi\'en to the facts that were
brought to light by this poll.
The rest of this issue of Sketch in no
way measures up to the high standard set
by this eight pa^e study. A short story
by Ben .Schneider, Jr. presents George, a
smug, stupid, dull, and, it is to be hoped,
not typical Williams undergraduate, and
gives us a satiric.il picture of his evening
at the movies and at Florini's (Torini's
to avoid libel) in North Adams. The
story, while occasionally effective, is over
simplified an<l rather obvious, — obvious
except for the ending which seems totally
obscure, and puzzlingly abrupt.
Nion Tucker, Jr.'s story "Rainbow,"
treats the rather conventional "small boy
love of his horse" theme without an>-
great originality or distinction, though the
writing is fluent. Both Mr. Schneider and
Mr. Tucker seem to write at a dead level
with d fine disregard of such things as
climax or dramatic emphasis in the short
story. Possibly they consider these feat-
ures passe.
"Violet Hour," a short story by C.
Perrie Phillips, is a weak and unmotivated
story full of cliches, unreal people and un-
real actions. By far the best piece of
fiction in the issue is William Stedman's
"Carnival Time," which can hardly be
called a short stor>' but rather a neat back-
ground description of a carnival. This is
a stylized piece of writing and quite effec-
tive.
Hugo Jaeckel's "Open letter to the
Faculty" attacks the static world that
Williams College lives in. Some good
ideas arc imbedded in this frequently un-
intelligible and pompous letter, but the
whole thing could .md should have been
put so much more simply and straight
forwardly.
Criticism of the poetry in the issue has
been avoided here, — not because the
poetry is beneath mention but because of
this reviewer's total inability to judge
the merits of this form of expression.

two of his mates scampered across the

Caldwell gave his sccontl base combina-
tion a fiendish delight Tuesday afternoon
at practice by ordering them to heave all
their throws to first wild so as to give Bob
Swain extra drill in scooping them out of
the dirt. The former outfielder ileinon-
strated that he is rapidly catching on to the
art of covering the initial sack, as he nested
most of the heller-skelter tosses in his big
mitt.

This system is at present in the form-
ative stage and will be modified in the

Softball. Service News
New specials will be featured bv WMS
for the summer session, according to an
announcemi'iit made last night by Robert
S. Ilininan '43, network president Results
of the year-long technical board compe-
tition were likewise released by Tech-
nical Manager John O. Copley '44.
The college station goes off the air
tonight at 11 p.m. to return at the be-
ginning of Freshman Week, Thursilay.
June 2.S. At that time the broadcasting
hours will be changed in accordance
with the later dinner times announced
by many houses for the summer months.
The new hours will be S-A5 to ();4.S and
9 to \\M) p.ni The summer broadcasts
will end .September 2,S.
Ten freshmen were added to the
Technical Hoard at the conclusion of a
competition which has been on since the
middle of October: Roy B. Anderson,
Jr., Deane K. Fladcr, Donald P. Gamble,
Jr., hidward H. Hinman, George H.
Hyde, Tlicodore G. Lewis II, David
Mort, Robert D. Terry, John L. Tyler,
and Dcnnison L. Volkmann.
"We intend to broadcast .selected
Softball games during the afternoon and
early evening hours," said William R.
Withcrcll, Jr. '4.?, production manager.
Witheroll also announced plans for a
new feature show, the "WMS Service
Letter," which will dramatize experiences
of Williams men in the war. Material
for the program will bo collected during
the next six weeks through letters to be
sent to all Williains service men. Theodore
G. Metzger '44 will coiiduct the series.
'Record' Poll Finds College Advocates CBM,
Compulsory Athletics, Student Farm Labor
l/y A. Henry Hedden '44
A majority of Williams students favor the new compulsory athletic program,
yet lind 1'. T., as it is now administered, leniently enforced, or not at all. Results
of a recently conducted Recoiid poll reveal this, and that the students are
behind the drives for campus economy and the proposed student-farmer plan.
The REcoiti) polled every eighth"*"
student for its statistics, utilizing a
nalinnally-knnwn method which is mathe-
matically certain to obtain an accurate
percent picture of undergraduate ideas.
P. T. Enforcement
On Monday, April 6, the faculty took
action and unanimou.sly passed the pro-
posed compulsory athletic program for
all classes in c illege. In the face of this
compulsory P. T. for next semester,
student opinion shows that 56% are
favorable to the plan, an overwhelming
majority of 82% think it can be satis-
factorily enforcerl, but at the same time,
5S''/o frankly admit that P. T., as it is
now run, is enforced too leniently or not
at all. Only 3% feel it is strictly enforced,
while 42%! register the opinion that it is
done s(» oidy "atle(|uately."
The undergraduates' disposition towards
a hiking program during the summer with
a possible aim to "toughening up recruits"
shows 60%, favorable to hiking for per-
sonal recreation while a slightly lower
5,S%, would be interested in the sport for
possible P. T. credit .

Drive For Defense
Bonds Commences
Door-to-Door Canvass By
American Legion Aims
To Pledge About 1200
A ten-day, door-io-iloor canvass for
enlistment of current incomes of Wil-
liamstown wage and salary earners in
Defense Savings Bonds, of which S370,OOO
worth have been sold here during the past
year, begins today with the distribution
of pledge blanks by the American Legion
and its Woiuen's Auxiliary. About 1200
pledges are expected, since there are that
luany income earners in the town.
Morally Binding
The pledger agrees to "faithfully fuHill
this pledge for the duration of the war
so long as he is linancially able lo do so."
It is morally, not legally, binding, Wallace
E. Greene, assistant treasurer of the
Williamstown Savings Bank anri chair-
man of the local Defense Savings Com-
mittee, explained.
Bonds may b<' purchased from an\'
post oflice, bank, or other sales agency;
b>' mail from the V. S. Treasurer, or
under a Pay-Roil Savings Plan. The
government urges buyers to obtain
Savings Bonds out of their regular week-
to-week income.
Over fifty per cent of college employees
have pledged for a bond already, Greene

Annual Out Tuesday;
Simplicity Is Keynote
The 1942 Gulicimnisian is scheduled
to appear Tuesday, April 28, it was
announced this week by Business Mana-
ger Kdward L. Eiuerson '43. Originally
scheduled for publication last Wednes-
day, the annual was delayed because of
technical difficulties.
Hampered by a lack of conipets due
to the speed-up program, and by the
unwillingness of war pressed merchants
to adverti.se, the Gul boards have never-
theless pioduced a yearbook which,
according to Editor-in-Chief Malcolm
D. Clark '43, "will compare favorably
with any previous Gm/." Stressing "beauty
through simplicity," the '42 Gul has
deserted the traditional two-color format
and will appear for the first time in purple,
gold, and black.
Emphasizing informality and origi-
nality, Gul photographer Robert G. Dill
'44 has produced a variety of sports action
shots, in addition to the usual campus
candids. A photograph of a faculty meet-
ing will appear for the first time this year,
as well as several new aerial shots of the
campus.

Keller Sits In
Charles R. Keller, associate professor
of bistor\', sat in on this week's Under-
graduate Council lueeting in ord(!r to
ask the members whether they thought
that in the event of an air raid on the
East coast , stop-overacconuuodationscould
be provided in the fraternity houses for
500 eliikheii. Professor ixeiier eiiipiia-
sized the fact that the children would
remain here for onl\' one or two nights
on their way farther inland.
The college authorities and members of
the Undergraduate Council have agreed
that provision couki be made, and house
representatives have been asked to sub-
mit estimates of the capacity of their
fraternities.

Theater Guild Will Produce Mrs. Lamson's
Comedy With Helen Hayes in Leading Role
by Paul Detels '44
Climaxing three \ears of plaNwriting
Mrs. Ro\' Lamson early this week signed
a production contract with the Theater
Guild to produce her third play, Kcsperl-
fully Yours, on Broadwa\' next season.
She is at present engaged in making
revisions to taik)r the lead for Helen
Hayes, who has been teiUativeh sched-
uled for the part.
Helen Hayes has been searching for
a comed\- for next .season ever since her
success with Maurice Evans in Tweljlli
Ninlil. She is now touring the country
in Maxwell Anderson's Candle hi the
Wind, and when that tour ends in Ma>-
she will return to the East lo read the
rewritten script.
The leading female role is that of
Gargoyle Ceremonies
To Take Place May 2
Traditional Gargoj'le Da>' cere-
monies, usually staged after the Am-
herst-Williams Memorial Day base-
ball game, have been mo\((l to Satur-
day, May 2, because of the second
setnester speed-up. and this year the
forty-eighth of these historic pro-
grams will follow' the only scheduled
meeting of the Williams and Wes-
leyan baseball tcatiis.
Also scheduled on the historic pro-
gram will be the annual imer-class
sing on the steps of Jesup Mall and
the presentation of the ( Irosvenor Cup
to that junior "who best exemplifies
the tradition of Williams."
Lydia Greenleaf, the wife of a nationalK'
prominent profes.sor of political science
at a small college. .She writes a book
advising women on Jloic In Command
Respect (it Home, which reaches thebest-
sellerlists, and her fame soon eclipses her
husband's, as Lydia (ireenleaf Clubs
mushroom overnight all over the cimntry.
This precipitates a domestic crisis which
is only solved in the linal act.
Mrs. Lamson left Williamstown on
Wednesday to confer with John Ga.ssner,
prominent critic and dramatic antholo-
gist, who lirst reccnnmended the play to
the Guild. She will also discuss the play
with the co-founders of ihi' New Ndrk
producing gnjup, Theresa Ilelburn, and
Lawrence Langner, author of Pursuil
of Happiness. The third act in particular
will have to be revise<l, and a new title
f(mud for the production.
Produced Last Summer
The pla\' was produced for the lirst
lime last summer in the .Adams Memorial
Theatre. Mrs. Newhall played the part
of Lydia Greenleaf, and Prof. John H.
Roberts the role of her eclipsed partner.
Warren G, Hunke '42, and Malcolm
MacGruer '43 were a'so in the cast. It
was produced again, in a slighlly-allercd
form, by the Actor's Guild in Cincinnati
on March 3, and is now undergoing its
third revision by Mrs. Lamsim.
Mrs. Lamson began writing plays only
three years ago, and this is her third.
Her first, an unnanu'd opus, has never
seen the light of day, but her second,

and the president and vicc-prcsiilcnt of the W. C. A. to debate methods
for overcoming undergraduate dissatisfaction with compulsory chapel.
Two methods were suggested at that meeting: the adoption of a
positive i)rograni to make compulsory vesper .services the vital force it
shouki be in Williams life, or the abolition of compulsory cliajiel. Tho.se
present voted that compulsory chapel should be retained, but that a
positive program .should be adopted "to catch and holil undergraduate
interest."
II The Profliain
Thi.s ijrogram, drawn up at Tuesday's meeting after work by both
the ehai)lain and undergradiiati's, will go into effect June 28:
1.) Chapel will he held at )!:()() ]j.m. during the .summer .semester in-
stead of at .5:;U), thus making longer weekends and a full da.y of recrejition
in the open jios.sible.
2.) Each month a special tojuc will be the subject of four sermons,
each sermon to approach the vital issue under consideration from a
differeiil viewpoint.
3.) The first to|)ic for the .Jul,y .sermons will stress Christianit,v in a
world at war, .so every Sunday at 8:00 undergraduates may be certain
that religions i.ssues now directly facing them will be di.scu.ssed from the
pnlpil.
i.) Kaeh Sunday, the visiting preacher will be the guest of one of the
social gnmps after vespers, and will lead informal talks with all interested
men on the ideas of his .sermon or on other current issues, these talks to
be similar to I he ones held in all hou.ses during the recent W.C.A. Embassy.
Ill ExeciiUii- Commiltco Opinion
The Executive C'ommittee, which initiated the move to stiid.y the
chapel problem, relea.sed this .statement today: "We believe that the
])re.seiit situation in Sunday chapel, where an undergraduate who wi.shes
to ])articipate in the .service has a strong chance of being flanked by .sleep-
ers or book-readers, makes religion a sham at Williams. We wi.sh to
thank the clia])laiii, members of the faculty, and undergraduates for their
efforts to evolve a ])ositive program to end this situation. We will back
this program to the fullest, and believe it can terminate undergraduate
dis.satisfactioii with chapel.
IV Final Say
We are convinced that the new ])rogram will merit undergraduate
interest and enthn.siasni, not only because of the excellent spirit in which
the chaplain and undergraduates have attacked a mutual jiroblem, but
also l)ecau.se of the college's increasing awareness that Chri.stian faith
and courage at all times underlie and give force to democracy. Every
Williams Tiian ixis.si'.sses, or is striving to ikjsscss, the strength and con-
fidence which arises oul of deep personal convictions that we are fighting
this war not merely to .save our own skins, but to save all that has been
mo.st valuable in the expeiience of mankind. When undergraduates go
to chapel this summer, tlie.y will have every reason to expect positive,
vital liclj) in their efforts to think through and understand the great
significance religion has for men who will be fighting in the cau.sc of the
United Nations.

POLL
(Continued from page 1)
Means of alleviating the expected labor
shortage on local farms during the sunmier
months has long been a major problem
facing the Committee on Rural Policy
of Williamstown. Student farm-labor
movements have already been inaugurated
in many of the colleges of the nali<m.
Plenty of labor should be available when
49% of the student body is willing to
devote one half-day per week and 42%
would work two such half-days per week.
Receiving P. T. credit for this work
would seciri to suflice for most under-
graduates when only 28% indicate that
being paid would make the dilTerence
between yes and no. As one sludeiil puts
it, "Money would make no dilferenci' if
I fell I was helping a cauhc."

The consumer buying power of the
Williams undergraduate, however, has
not been appreciably diminished by the
purchase of I'niled Slates Defense Bonds
and Stamps. Only 42% confessed having

You can serve your country best by
acting on this new Navy Plan now!
You WANT to fight for your
country! Are you willing to
work for it? To toughen yourself
physically? To train yourself
mentally for a real job in the
United States Navy? If you are,
the Navy wants you to enlist now.
You don't have to quit college.
You can stay in college, continue
your studies to prepare for active
duty in the air or on the sea.
And your college will help you
do it! In cooperation with the
Navy, it offers all freshmen and
sophomores who are seventeen
and not yet twenty, special train-
ing that may win for you the cov-
eted Wings of Gold of a Naval
Aviation Officer or a commission
as a Deck 'or Engineering Officer.
How to Become an Officer
To get this special Navy training,
you enlist now aa an Apprentice
Seaman. Then you may continue
in college, but you will include
special courser stressing physical
development, mathematics and
physics. After you successfully
complete 1)4 calendar years in
college, you will be given a classi-
fication test.
Aviation Officers
If you qualify by this test, you
may volunteer to become a Naval
Aviation Officer. In this case, you
will be permitted to finish the sec-
ond calendar year of college work
before you start your training to
become a Flying Officer.
However, at any time during
this two-year period, you may
have the option to take immedi-
ately the prescribed examination
for Aviation Officer... and, if suc-
cessful, be assigned for Aviation
training. Students who fail in
their college courses or who with-
draw from college will also have
the privilege of taking the Aviation
examination. Applicants who fail
to qualify in this test will be or-
dered to active duty as Apprentice
Seamen.
Decit or Engineering Officers
Those who qualify in the classifi-
cation test arid do not volunteer
for Aviation will be selected for
training to be Deck or Engineer-
ing Officers. In that case, you will
continue your college program
until you receive your bachelor's
degree, provided you maintain the
established university standards.
Those whose grades are not high
enough to qualify them for Deck
or Engineering Oflicer training
will be permitted to finish their
second calendar year of college.
After this, they will be ordered
to duty as Apprentice Seamen,
but because of their college train-
ing, they will have a better chance
for rapid advancement. At any
time, if a student should fail in
his college courses, he may be
ordered to active duty as an
Apprentice Seaman.
Pay starts with active duty.

Hearne Amherst's decision to drop
Hits 157 the hammer throw in the
Little Three (rack meet Saturday is
doubly unfortunate (or the team and for
Captain Al Hearne in particular. Satur-
day after the Uochesti'r meet he un-
officially tossed the iron hall 157 feet,
heatinK Hrad Wood's former mark by well
over three feet. With the hanimer ruled
out of the meet, Hearne will not get an-
other chance to throw it in collegiate
competition.
VVeslex'an got in a row in a meet with
Springfield when they similarly decided
to omit the event, one of Springfield's
strongest. As an equalizer, the Maroon
asked that their weakest event, the high
hurdles, also be omitted. The Cardinals,
however, refused to consider this, running
the event with only their three timber-
toppers competing.
When the meet wound u|) with the
Wesnien out in front, 64-62, including the
nine points registered in the hurdle race,
Springfield protested to the A.A.IJ. Had
this event not been run, or had Spring-
field taken two places in the hammer,
they would have won the meet. Omar

he chalked up eleven points as the team
downed Kochester University, 68 to 58.
I'oiling the Rochesternien in their attempt
to snap the four-year Purple streak, the
cindcrmen were hardpressed as the lead
zig-zagged back and forth and won out
only in the final event by sweeping the
broad-jump.
Assuming an early lead as Mason,
Winter, and HofT took all places in the
120-yard high hurdles, the Rochesternien
continued to pile ii|i the margin when Keil
won the 100-yard dash from Jim De Wolfe,
in 10.4. Urew Chapman turned the tide,
however, as he paced off a 4:.33.2 mile to
trot home an easy winner over Englert of
Rochester.
I'eck Wins Qiiiirler
Warner Peck stepped up his quarter
mile time to 50.2, in winning by five yards
o\er Rochester's Bruckel, with Dick
Hunsdorfer taking third. Setting his
own pace. Ken Moore won handily in
the two-mile, while Art Richmond put
up a furlong sprint to shake off McCowen
of Rochester, and finish one foot back in
second place.
Hunsdorfer, fleet-footed sophomore,
skimmed over the 220-yard low hurdles to
nip Zinter of Rochester for first place
Increasing Williams' one point lead. Chap-
man turned in a 1.59.2 half-mile, while
Warner Peck caught Englert at the start
of the last 220, and clung to second place

Rochester in the meet as they captured
one-two in the 220yard dash, with Paul
Heppes taking third.
Hearne Takes Two Events
In the field events, Hearne, hard-
pressed by Hennrick of Rochester, put
the shot forty-four feet eight and one-
quarter inches, for his season's best. The
massive weight man also flung the discus
136 feet 8 inches, for a double win, while
Ed Mulcahy contributed second place by
out -tossing Hennrick.
Schongalla of Rochester heaved the
javelin 173 feet 2 inches, with Hearne
taking third for his eleventh point. Nip

pole vault, Rochester placing second and
third.
Rochester Wins Hi^li Jump
In the high-jump, Zinter of Rochester
cleared five feet eight inches to beat Tattle,
Heppes, and Crandall who tied for

WILLIAMS COLLEGE,
SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1942
No. 41
U. C. Assumes Sole
Control Over New
DrivingRegulations
Freshmen, Sophomores
Must Obtain Permits
to Keep Cars in Town
by Philip K. Hastings '44
Beginning next semester, the Under-
graduate Council will have complete
responsibility for enforcing all college
driving rules and for initiating whatever
legislation it believes "proper to the
t'xisting situation."
According to Robert R. Kittredge '4.S,
president of the U. C, "The preceeding
Undergraduate Councils have for one
reason or another refused to accept this
responsibility, but we feel that to become
an active body, this step is a necessary
one."
Offenders of the driving rules will be
brought before the Driving Committee of
the Undergraduate Council where their
individual cases will be considered. If
there is not sufificient reason for the viola-
tion, the penalty will be imposed by this
body and the Dean's Office will be notified
as to the decision.
The Driving Committee under the
chairmanship of William A. Klopman
includes M. Carter Hall, Allan G. James,
Wilson H. Prophet Jr., and Robert H.
Kittredge (I'x-offkio) .
'Will Deal Severely'
Regarding freshman and sophomore
ilriving, Kittredge issued the following
statement: "In assuming this responsi-
bility we feel that freshmen and sopho-
mores should be discouraged from bringing
cars to Willi,->mstown. If freshmen and
sophomores keep up driving at the present
rate, they will be dealt with severely. It
is our desire to issue a warning now-, be-
cause there will be none later."
At the Undergraduate Council's meeting
last Monday, a plan for selecting cheer-
leaders was proposed and passed. The
men are to be chosen from the junior class
by the Athletic Council and the senior
cheerleaders. Under the present system,
only the senior cheerleaders make the
choice.

Air Corps Starts
New Training Plan
Cadets Who Enlist May
FinishCollege Education ;
System Similar To V-7
by H. Bruce McClellan '45
As a result of collaboration between the
Army Air Forces and representative
college officials, the Army Air Corps has
initiated a plan similar to the Naval V-1,
V-5, and V-7 deferred training programs.
The Aviation Cadet training program is
designed to obtain a very large number of
Aviation Cadets with the least possible
disruption in the nation's educational
system. ■
May Continue College
The plan is based on a re-classification
of the men now in college. Men in good
standing in any accredited college will be
enlisted with the provision that they con-
tinue their colleg;e education. College
men who do not expect to continue their
education beyond the present academic
year will be accepted immediately for
enlistment in the Air Forces Reserve.
In line with the new program the Air

Williams Loses First Track Meet In Four
Years as Sabrinas Take Little Three Title
Amherst's Captain Clint Scharff whirled off two wins in the dashes Saturday on
Pratt Field to set the pace as the Lord Jeffs dislodged the Little Three track
crown from the Ephmen for the first time in five years. Sweeping seven firsts and
tying for an eighth, the Sabrinas also piled up ample seconds, thirds, and fourths, to
triumph in the first triangular Little Three track meet, 63 2/3 to 47 for Wil-
liams, and 43 1/3 for Weslevan. This is the first Purple track loss in four years.
Burymg their opponents under a deluge
of power, the Sabrinas made the outcome
of the meet apparent midwaj- through the
afternoon as Cub Gardiner, sophomore
ace, captured three events for individual
scoring honors, and \'ernc Williams out-
tossed Captain Al Hearne in the shot-put
and discus. Amherst's three stars scored
almoiit one-qu.irter of all the points
between them.
Brew Chapman, only Eph double-
winner, outstripped the field in the mile
in 4:41.4, and then teamed with Warner
Peck to take one-two in the half-mile in
1 :58.3. Peck burned up the cinders in
eclipsing \'an Doren of Wesleyan in the
quarter-mile, in 50.6, with Paul Heppes
and Dick Ilunsdorfer adding a third and
fourth to the Eph total.
Gardiner Leaps 22' 2 3/4"
Easily the most outstanding performer
in Saturday's meet, Gardiner of Amherst
leaped 22 feet 2 3/4 inches in the broad-
jump to eclipse Jim Crawford, Willianis'
lone qualifier, who placet! second. Step-
ping over the 220->'ard low hurdles to a
new track record in 24.7, Gardiner added
a victory in the 120-yard high hurdles to
make up his fifteen point total. Schiirff
of Amherst flashed home the winner in the
100-yard dash in 10.1 with Jim DeWolfe
taking third, while he also nosed out Van
Doren of Wesleyan in the 220-yard dash
with DeWolfe adding another third and
Hays Bownc, a fourth.
High-lighting the Purple performances
was the pole-vaulting of Nip Wilson who
vied with Kammer of Wesleyan and
finally tied at 12 feet 2 7/8 inches, his
season's best vault. Shut-out in the
javelin, the high-jump, and both hurdles,
the Ephmen tallied a third and fourth in

Chi Psi Wins Softball
And Intramural Cup
With the interfraternity competition
slated to be concluded during exam week,
Chi Psi has already clinched the intra-
mural cup, with Delta Phi and the Betes
running close behind. The scrappy Chi-
psi Softball club" rallied in the last half
of the se\enth inning Tuesday to nose out
the D. U.'s, 4-3, for the college champion-
ship, while the Betes earned a second to
the Garfield Club in the track meet a week
ago yesterday.
The Chi Psis emerged from the playoffs
of the Softball tourney with three wins.
W'hilc Delta I'psilon, another lesiguc
winner, was close behind with a |)air of
victories. The Phi Delts scraped up a
triumph over the .Saints, who suffered
defeat at the hands of all three of the
other league winners.
Club Wins 2 Firsts
In track the Garfield Club carried off
the honors with 33 l/2 points, picking up
firsts in the mile and the 440, a second, and
three thirds. The Betes racked up 24
points for the second slot, while the Kaps
snatched a close third.
The Chi Psis and the Betes have also
forged ahead in the golf tournament. The
Chi Psis will meet the Phi Sigs on the
links in the sami-finals, and the Betes will
tee off against Delta Upsilon in the other
semi-final bracket tWs weekend.
Ping pong will be finished sometime
next week. At present Chi Psi is the only
team advanced to the final round.
Gargoyle Taps 20
In First Ceremony
Not Held on 30th
Traditional Date Gives
Way to Speed -Up, as
James Receives Cup
The Re(;oud Ihnnks Gargoyle for dele-
gating one of ils members lo write the follow-
ing article, and to supervise in complete
secrecy the sections of this paper relating lo
the Gargoyle elections. Without Gargoyle's
cooperation, this special issue of The
Record would have been impossible,
inasmuch as it went to press Thursday night.
The traditional Memorial Day tapping
date was discarded for the first time in its
history toda>' by Gargo\ie, as the senior
honorary society chose its forty-eighth
delegation from the lab fence late this
afternoon. Forced to relinc|uish the holi-
day date because of the accelerated war
curriculum. Gargoyle took for the third
successive \'ear a full complement of
twenty members.
Gargoyle President Robert B. Swain,
Jr. '42 began the tapping when he took
Robert B. Kittredge '43 from the fence,
following the class singing contests and the
awarding of the Grosvenor Cup to Alan G.
James '43. The cup, awarded by the
Undergraduate Council, was presented to
James for being that m<'mber of the junior
class who "best exemplifies the traditions
of Williams."
Founded in 1895
Not since the last war has the traditional
ceremony been held except under the
customary rules of procedure set down
when the first announcement of the new
society appeared in the Williams Weekly
of May 30, 1895. In announcing the
pi»rpo«^(' of the soriet\', its Mn<lergradnate
founders said at thai lime that "the object
of this organization shall be to discuss
college matters, and lake active steps for
the advancement of Williams in every
branch of college life and work, and to
exert itself against an\thing which it
considers detrimental to such advance-
ment."
The announcement continued, "Gar-
goyle shall consist of nut more than 20
members chosen from each Junior Class at
a public election by the active Senior
members on the 30th of Ma\'. Those men
shall be chosen each \ear who are con-
sidereil to have the welfare and reputation
of the college at heart, and who have
shown in esery way by their college life a
desire and ability to prcmiote the best
interests of Williams."
There follows a list of the new members,
and the names of the senior Gargoyles who
tapped iheni. In compliance with a 1932
Gargoyle ruling, the order of tapping was
determined by lot. R<'duced to sixteen
b>' the absence of one member and the
withdrawal from college of three others,
each of the four oflicers of retiring Gar-
goyle tapped two men this afternoon.
John J. Daly and David S. Maclay, both
tapped last year, are now ensigns in the
United States Naval Reserve, and Robert
Tally is in training for a commission in the
Army Signal Corps.

No. 41
The U. C. Takes Over
Tlic U. C.'s decision to assume complete responsibility for making
and enforcing college drivinf.' iiiles .sets a new high for \Yilliams student
government. The satisfactory ilischarge of this i-esponsibility will start
the 1913 Council well on its way towards becoming the most fo.'ceful
and effective student-governing body in college history.
The no-di'ive-in-town rule has been constantly violated by certain
upijei'ciassnien during recent weeks. This indicates that the Driving
Committee faces a difficult problem in discovering and convicting future
violator.s, first because it is often impossible for one man to witness the
beginning and end of an ii])])crclassman's driving within campus limits;
and second, because u])perelass violators need merely state a supposed
out-of-town destination, and the Driving Committee, lacking other
evidence, must accept the false excuse. Freshmen and sophomores, of
course, ciinnot escape conviction, because their class affiliations alone
condeinii them if they are caught violating the rule. We suggest that the
Driving Committee relea.sc windshield stickers for all cars having in-town
driving permission; these markings will assist the committee in spotting
and convicting illegal uppcrclass drivers.
Constant violations of the college driving rules by upperclassmen will
make a difficult job for the Driving Committee, but still worse, will do
much to discredit this present gain of student government. The U. C,
which now possesses a real opportunity to prove undergraduates are
capable of governing their own affairs, deserves the cooperation of every
man who wants his leaders to have a larger share in the making and en-
forcing of college rules.

No Ceremony in 1918
Undergraduate activities of Gargoyle
were almost conipleteh' suspended from
May 30, 1917, to February 26, 1919,
although delegations were chosen each
year. Before the war ended every member
of the 1917 Gargoyle was in the service
of his country, and several saw service
overseas. Faculty members of Gargoyle,
including Karl E. Weston, William H.
Doughty, James B. Pratt, and Brainerd
Mears, kept the society alive during the
two years of the war. When the Class of
1919 delegation was announced in the
columns of The Record, instead of at the
traditional public election, only .six of the
twenty new men were in college, and there
was but one member of the 1918 delegation
on hand.

the Taconic Golf Club and the liraehead Inn

1. Driving to the Williamstown railroad

Phi providing that they park their cars
by Jesup Hall and do not drive anywhere
but to and from their house.
4. Permission in case of emergency and in
any special cases will be granted by the

Council. In special cases permission will
be granted only on a tliree day notice.
In case of an emergency any member of
the Driving Committee may grant their
permission, and no three day notice ia
required.

Eighth Inning Rally
Upsets Purple, 4-3
Providence Bunches Pair
of Doubles With Error,
Balk to Gain Decision
A pair of doubles, an outlitltl error, and
Kd Callahan's balk combined to bring two
runs across the plate in the last of the
eiiihth inning a week ago yesterday at
IVovidence, giving Providence College a
4-3 verdict over the Purple.
Holding the P'riars to but three bingles
for the first seven frames, Callahan, in his
opening mound appearance this spring,
weakened, allowing the home forces to
break the existing 2-2 deadlock. The
Purple spurted in the top of the ninth to
come within a run of knotting the count.
With two out Jack Harter rapped out an
infield hit, and when Biib Gardner lashed
uHreniendous triple to left, he completed
I he circuit, 'fhc game ended abruptly
when the left fielder's relayed peg nipped
(lardner who had over run third.
Two-Base Hit
The Ephnien opened the scoring in the
fourth. Al Reilly beat out an infield hit,
took second on Hob Swain's sacrifice, and
came home on Gunnar Hayes' double.
Hayes tallied the second run on Bill
Donovan's safety to right.
Providence came back in its half of the
frame to score. Lee walked, stole second,
wi'iit to third on a passed ball, and came
home on Zabek's roller to Reilly.
'I'he Friars added another in the sixth.
Lee again started it oflf with a double to
right. Taking third on an infield grounder,
lie scared the tying run on a long fly to
Hayes.
I'hen in the eighth Crowley doubled,
scoring on Zabek's second safety, a two-
bagger to center. Taking third on Hayes'
error on the hit, Zabek scored on Calla-
han's balk.

The Greatest Air Army in the World
NOW.FOR COLLEGE MEN-A NEW
OFHCERS' TRAINING PLAN
ir New Deferred Service Plan Allows You to Continue Your Education ^
In the skies over America the might-
iest air fleet in the history of the
world is mobilizing for victory!
So fast is it growing that there is a
place here — an urgent need here —
for every college man in America who
can qualify for Officer's Training.
The U. S. Army Air Forces need
Flying Officers and Ground Crew
Officers. And many of them must
come from the ranks of today's col-
lege students — men who make their
plans now for the necessary Aviation
Cadet training.
Thanks to a newly created Air
Force Reserve plan, men of all classes
— aged 18 to 26, inclusive — can en-
list for immediate service or continue
the scholastic work required for
graduation before being called to
active duty.
You must meet the requirements
lor physical fitness, of course. In
addition, you take a new simplified
test to determine your ability to grasp
the training. A college man shotdd
pass it easily.
$75 A MONTH DURING
TRAINING
Those accepted who wish immediate
duty will go into training as rapidly
as facilities permit. As an Aviation
Cadet, you are paid ^75 a month,
with subsistence, quarters, medical
care, uniforms, equipment.
In 8 months you can win an offi-
cer's commission as a bombardier,
navigator or pilot — and be well
started on your way to serve America
and advance yourself in aviation.
Three Enlistment Plans
for College Men
Juniors— Sophomores— Freshmen
May ContiRHe Their EdueaHon
1. A new plan allows Juniors,
Sophomores and Freshmen, aged
18 to 26, inclusive, to enlist in the
Air Force Enlisted Reserve and
continue their schooling, pro-
vided they maintain satisfactory
scholastic standings.
All College Men May Enlist
for Immediate Service
2. All college students may enlist
as privates in the Army Air Forces
(unassigned) and serve there un-
til their turns come for Aviation
Cadet traihing.
3. All college students may enlist
in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve
and wait until ordered to report
for Aviation Cadet training.
Upon graduation or withdrawal
from college, men will be assigned
to active duty at a training center
as facilities become available.
If the necessity of war demands,
the deferred status in the Army
Reserve may be terminated at any
time by the Secretary of War.
Tk» new Army A\t Farce Enllsftd Re-
serve Plan Is porf of on over-oil Arm)/

Secretary of War thati determine when
fhey may be called to active duty.
If U undertteod tbof men so enlMed

This plan has been approved In fhe
belief that continuance of education
will develop capacities for leadertMp,
(Reterve enllttment will not alter
regulations regarding eMtablUhod
R.O.T.C. plans. >
MANY BRANCHES OF SERVICE
There are also commissions awarded
in ground crew service. College men
particularly will be interested in the
requirements for Armaments, Com-
munications, Engineering, Meteorol-
ogy, Photography. If you have engi-
neering experience your chances of
getting a commission are excellent.
As a Second Lieutenant on active
duty with the Army Air Forces, your
pay ranges from ^183 to ^243 a
month.
ACT AT ONCE
If you want to fight for America, this
is where your blows will count.
If you want the best training in the
world, and years of solid achieve-
ment in aviation — the great career
field of the future — this is where
you belong. Your place is here — ^in
the Army Air Forces.
If you plan to enlist immediately,
start getting your necessary papers
ready for the Aviation Cadet Exam-
ining Board when it meets in your
locality. For complete information,

Now, College Urged
Registration for Sugar
Set for May 4; Grant
Requests Cooperation
As part uf a iiation-wiile rationing
program, consumer registration for sugar
rationing-booklets will take place Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of
this coming week. Students may register
at home, but are strongly urged for their
personal protection to register on these
days with the townspeople, according to an
alphabetical arrangement between 2:00
and 8:00 p. ni. at the Williamstown High
School on the corner of Southworth and
School Streets.
Registration will he conducted on the
basis of the initial of the individual's last
name: A to F on Monday, G to M on
Tuesday, N to S on Wednesday, and T to Z
on Thursday.
The registrant will receive a booklet of
Iwenty-eighl stamps, each stamp being worth
a pound of sugar and holding for a two-
week period. The booklet mil lust for about
a year and will he the basis for any future
purchase of sugar made by the registrant or
those catering for him.
"The stamps," explained Francis V.
Grant, superintendent of schools and
authority on local rationing, "are not
specilically sugar stamps, but may be used
for other things later on which the govern-
ment may choose to ration. If the student
registers himself next week, he will protect
himself and save later complications."
If for any reason a student is unable to
register according to the alphabetical
arrangement, then he should do so on the
most convenient of the four days. Grant
stressed.
Last Tuesday and Wednesday, stores,
hotels, fraternities, and other eating places
registered through the efforts of the Local
Rationing Board 343, of which Prof.
George M. Harper is chairman. The
other members are Wallace E. Greene,
assistant treasurer of the Williamstown
Savings Bank, and Fred H. Shennan,
local plumber.
Individual questions and problems
should be taken up with Superintendent
Grant or the local rationing board which
meets regularly in the town office on
Tuesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 p. m. and on
Fridays from 7:00 to 8:00 p. m.

tween the college and the Army Air Force,
Prof. Samuel A. Matthews has been
appointed Faculty Air Force Adviser. He
will be advised on all the details of the
Army Air Force college program and will
establish a personal relationship with the
Army representatives. Professor Mat-
thews will help the Army avoid conflict
with college policies and will keep the Air
Force representatives informed of the dates
of important college activities.
The Air Corps recommends that
Reserve Aviation Cadets should familiar-
ize themselves with aviation by reading
up-to-date and authoritative books and
periodicals. Recommended but not re-
quired are courses in mathematics, physics,
cartography, and astronomy.

anxious in particular to stress the fact
that this was not a dance for the college,
but was a community affair for Williams-
town residents, mendiers of local com-
nmnities, and college students.
The coniniittei' also decided to use both
the large and small floors of the g\m-
nasium for dancing. On the larger floor
there will be a square dance orchestra
playing, while in the smaller gym there
will be a rounil dance orchestra. By
utilizing both floors in this way, the com-
mittee feels that it can accommodate
1,000 guests during the night of dancing.
Present plans call for continuous nmsic
all evening long, with one orchestra play-
ing while the other holds intermission.
At times both orchestras will be heard at
imce, for the bands will not be on an
alternating schedule.
Mrs. Roosevelt Accepts
Mrs. Roosevelt wrote her acceptance to
the dance Wednesday. Not only an
ardent square dancer, she has been much
interested in the moves of the National

Professor Milham Retires After 47-Year
Career Teaching Astronomy at Williams
Aji George Y. Nehrbas '44
Dr. Willis 1. Milham, retiring Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy, eased
back in his chair and, smiling, contemplated his fifty-two years of association
with Williams College and his forty-seven years of active service. Professor Milham
who taught his last class here two weeks ago, first came to Williams as a "verdant
and immature freshman" in 1890, has seen Williams in two world wars, and has
served his country as well as his college by*'
training students in vital astronomical
work.
His forty-seven years of teaching at
Williams give him a two-year edge over
Prof. Albert Hopkins, and put him second
only to former President Mark Hopkins
in terms of length of service to the college.
Graduatcfl in 1894
Professor Milham was graduated in
1894 as Salutatorian of his class, having
attained Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year.
Not athletically inclined, his efforts in
college were directed toward the Adelphic
Union which he headed in his senior year.
He became a fellow at Williams imme-
diately after graduation, obtaining his
M. A. degree in 1895. On his return from
the University of Strasburg where he was
awarded his Ph. D. in 1901, Professor
Milham became Field Memorial Pro-
fessor of Astronomy and head of the
(Sec MILHAM page S)

four years and received his position as full
professor in 1913.
Graduating from Lafayette College in
1894, Dr. Hardy pursued his post-graduate
work at Johns Hopkins where he received
a fellowship of mathematics. In 1897 he
acquired his M. A. degree from Lafa-
yette, and in the following year he re-
ceived his Ph. D. from Johns Hopkins.

'International Society'
(In his Baccalaureate address in Thomp-
son Chapel today, President James P.
Baxter, 3rd so simply and forcefully ex-
pressed his message to the class of 1942 that
■we have decided to present a condensation
of his speech in his own words, rather than
rephrasing his statements in our own. —
The Editors.)
"My text is taken from the eighteenth
psalm, the second and thirty-fourth verses:
'The Lord is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer; my God, my strengtii,

horn of my salvation, and my high tower'. .

Flays 'Arsenal Concept'
"Defensive thinking, unfortunately, is
as stubborn and dillicult to root out as

cept of the arsenal of democracy. For a
long time we were told, and most of us be-
lieved, that our share in this great struggle
was to consist simply in furnishing the

Smith Is Valedictorian
Felix T. Smith, Jr., speaking on "The
Future Conditional", was class vale-
dictorian. Smith called for a re-statement
of the objectives of the United Nations on
a basis of human rather than national
rights. According to the speaker, today's
plans calling for survival of nations and
national •ietory are inade(|Uate. Calling
the objectives of the allies too vague, too
general, and conflicting to mean anything
to the confjuered and about-to-be-con-
ciuered peoples, .Smith sugnesteil a more

advantage of the accelerated schedule and
some 50 more will probably enter in mid-
October," Mr. Wood said.
Further statistics on the incoming class
have not as yet been drawn up, Mr. Wood
said, inasmuch as many high school and
preparator\' school students have been

Freshmen, Sophomores, 17 thru 19. Enlist now!
* Stay in college! You may qualify for a
Naval Commission on the sea or in the air.
Freshmen, Sophomores. Here's a
challenge — and an opportunity!
Your Navy needs trained men.
Trained men to become Naval
OflBcers! And your college is ready
to give you that training now.
Here's New Navy Plan
If you're 17 and not yet 20, you en-
list now as an Apprentice Seaman
in the Naval Reserve. You then
continue in college, including in
your studies courses stressing phys-
ical training, mathematics and
physics. After you successfully
complete 1 J^ calendar years of col-
lege work, you will be given a cIeis-
sification test.
Aviation Officers
If you qualify by this test, you
may volunteer to become a Naval
Aviation Officer. In this case, you
will be permitted to finish the sec-
ond calendar year of college work
before you start your training to
become a Flying Officer.
However, at any time during
this two-year period after you have
reached your 18th birthday, you
may, if you so desire, take the pre-
scribed examination for Aviation
Officer . . . and, if successful, be
assigned for Aviation training. Stu-
dents who fail in their college
courses, or who withdraw from
college, will also have the privilege
of taldng the Aviation examination.
Deck or Engineering Officers
If you qualify in the classifica-
tion test and do not volunteer for
Aviation, you will be selected f ••"
training as a Deck or Enginoei-
ing OfUcer. In that case, you wiil
continue your college program
until you receive your bachelor's
degree, provided you maintain tho
established university standards.
Other Opportunities
If you do not qualify as either po-
tential Aviation Officer or as poten-
tial Dock or Engineering Officer
you will be permitted to finish your
second calendar year of college
and will then be ordered to active
duty as Apprentice Seamen. But,
even in this event, because of your
college training, you will have a
better chance for advancement.
Pay starts with active duty.
It's a real challenge! It's a Teal
opportunity! Make every minute
count by doing something about
this new Navy plan today.

With thi.s issue, which ha.s been prepared especially for alumni,
undergraduates, and friends of Williams College attending Commence-
ment, The Record suspends publication until June 26.
In Order To Survive
The college which today offers its 149th class to the service of the
United Nations made its first contribution of leaders and citizens to
American democratic life during the administration of George Wash-
ington. Williams cannot continue to make these contributions, however,
by merely reaffirming its time-honored traditions and policies. On
every side Williams is faced with new challenges, new threats to its
continued existence, which can only be met effectively by intelligent
thinking and decisive action on the part of alumni, undergraduates, and
faculty.
The strongest challenges to the college's future are financial. Coop-
erative Management, for which we have already waited too long, offers
hope that our ridiculously high social-group living costs will be lowered.
Our scholarship funds, augmented by the Tyng grants, give evidence
that Subfreshmen of all income brackets will be able to consider Williams.
The excellent efforts of the trustees to lower college expenditures for each
student, the increasing awareness of every undergraduate that his parents
cannot continue paying $11.50 per-week board bills, student contributions
to Russian War Relief, the W. C. A. Chest Fund, and Fort Devens all
prove that Williams men are anxious to decrease unnecessary expenses
and allocate funds to essential causes.
The challenges to the Williams curriculum, arising mainly from the
technological demands of war, are being met, but slowly. New science
courses, not defense-course guts but profitable additions to the curriculum,
are today fitting many men for sjjecialized branches of the armed forces.
Unfortunately we cannot obtain government permission to offer R.O.T.C.
training to undergraduates. Unfortunately many of our best professors
have been called to wartime posts, although there is every reason to
expect their return, and to expect that the trustees will continue securing
liberal thinkers of broad experience to head up our curricular offerings.
Unfortunately there is still prevalent among certain members of the
faculty the belief that papers, quizzes, and mere recitation of facts must
be emphasized over the development of clear thinking and intellectual
courage and conviction. Unfortunately there is still no evidence that
compulsory athletics will be effectively enforced.
The social organization of the college is also being challenged. The
fraternities are gra<lually — almost imperceptibly — replacing the
idiocies of Hell Week with constructive year-long freshman orientation
programs. Gradually, too, the houses are returning to their original
objective of encouraging sound .scholarship as the first obligation of their
members. Participation in athletics and extra-curricular activities still
carries more prestige than scholastic achievement on the Williams campus,
but as the social-group viewpoint on scholarship changes, this situation
will probably be remedied. Undergraduate apathy towards compulsory
chapel has become more marked than ever before, and it remains to be
seen whether the new chapel program recently announced in The Record
will improve matters.
Gargoyle, student-governing bodies, campus publications, and other
college organizations are devoting their time and effort to the cause of
the United Nations, for winning the war is the first step towards insuring
the future existence of every value of American life. All of us who are
closely tied to the interests of Williams are positive the college can survive
this war, if alumni (including the 131 men who file into President Baxter's
oflBce today), undergraduates, and faculty continue at an ever accelerating
pace to meet the financial, curricular, and social problems facing Williams
with clear thought and swift action.

Friend or Enemy?
They're taking no chances
Day and night thousands of civilian volunteers at Army author-
ized observation posts report Aircraft Flash Messages to Army
"filter" centers— by telephone. From this information, each plane's
course is charted on filter maps... relayed to operations boards
such as the one shown above — by telephone. Should checking
prove the aircraft to be an enemy, the telephone would play an
important part in the defense strategy... in warning endangered
communities ... in mobilizing civilian defense units.
Bell System men cooperated with Army authorities in design-
ing and providing the telephone facilities used by the air defense
system. This is but another example of a war-time job well done.

them; the best military, naval, and air
intelligence that we can muster and the
soundest and boldest of war plans; morale
ecjual to any strain combined with the
wisdom to distinguish a sham peace from
a real one. Necessary though these are,
they are not enough. We shall never win
that peace without fighting long and hard
by land, by sea, and in the air. The
ultimate requirement is trained, well-led
fighting men who like the immortal fliers
of the A. V. G., can match the best the
enemy has to offer and go on from there
5 Men Killed
"Already at least five Williams men
have given their lives for their country.
Most of the men who graduate today will
soon be in uniform, the uniform we honor
because it is the outward and visible sign
of the readiness to make the supreme
sacrifice. They will honor that uniform
as it honors them.
"My prayer for them, and for their
comrades in arms, is that God will be their
strength, as well as their shield and buckler
(Victory) is often a matter of tapping
hidden reserves of power; the power of a
great tradition, the power that comes from
discipline, the power of faith that comes
from God
'Of the Founder '
"This is a soldier's college. It's found-
er, a frontier leader, gave his life for his
King and his estate for education. The
day I decided to accept the offer of the
Hoard of Trustees and become the Presi-
dent of this College, I stopped at the place
where Ephraim Williams was first buried
and prayed there for strength and guid-
ance, as we shall pray today in this chapel,
in whose chancel lies his honored dust
Power: Discipline, Faith
"On our playing fields and in our class-
rooms we have seen, though not always
elsewhere in the past two decades, the
power that comes from discipline ..
"Neither this nor any other generation
can achieve its best, however, unless it
can tap the greatest of its hidden reserves

"Lastly, the Psalmist tells us, God is
his high tower. From that high tower,
what can we see, over the horizon of war.
It is one of the fixed beliefs of the Christian
faith that we can see peace: not a sham
peace, into which we are tricked by false
seeming, but a lasting peace such as the
world has not yet known. It is too early
yet to delineate it, but it must hold the
promise of the four freedoms: freedom of
speech and religion, freedom from want,
freedom from fear. These are great boons,
not to be won lightly by men who shun
responsibility and dread sacrifice. They
will never be won without a readiness to
limit national sovereignty and develop
larger loyalties than those we were capable
of in the troubled period between the two
world wars. In the grim struggle with
the totalitarian powers we are developing,
among the United Nations, international
agencies more potent than those of the
League of Nations. These international
agencies, modeled on similar creations of
the Principal Allied and Associated Powers
in 1917-18, regulate shipping, food, raw
materials, munitions, and foreign ex-
change. They must not be allowed to
collapse with the armistice as did their
prototypes of 1918. Somehow, out of the
great effort necessary to overthrow our
enemies, we must create and preserve the
necessary instruments of an international
society, to which in due time and if need
be after long probation, all nations may
find their place."

as its principal aim. He wrote a letter of
invitation to her and Wednesday her
letter of acceptance was in the hands of
the ccmimittee.
The Russian War Relief Committee
plans to publicize thoroughly the dance in
the neighboring communities of North
Adams, Adams, and Pittsfield in the hope
that a large number of guests will attend.
In addition to the evening of dancing, the
committee hopes to present some other
form of entertainment. Prices have been
set tentatively at about 6Sc for a single
person and about $1 for a couple. The
orchestras have not yet been named al-
though the committee has been discussing
several local bands both of the round dance

Thursday, May 14. With the Mass.
State and Amhrrst liaseliall jjanits yet to

spring season have compiled a combined
average of .654. Despite the curtailment
made necessary by a shortened term, the
baseball, track, lacrosse, tennis, and t^o]!

Opening with a smashing 23-2 win over
a previously unbeaten Army team, the
Ijaseball squad showetl its hitting power by
knocking out twenty-two safeties, in-
cluding eight e.\tra-base hits. Stu Lare's

Williams' hitting power failed to click
against the pitching of RoUo Smith.
Careless lu^lding and four errors handi-
capped the Purple sc|uad's defensive play.
Opening with an unearned run in the first
inning the Sabrinas scored seven more runs
by bunching their hits in the second and
eighth innings.
The baseball sc|uad next lost to Provi-
dence College, 4-3, and then came back to
take their Little Three game against
Wesleyan liy scoring twice in the last half
of thi- ninth inning. With two games to
be played the baseball team has won two
games and lost two, while making 35 runs
to its opponents' 19.
Lacrosse Loses Once
After losing to Dartmouth in their
opener, the lacrosse team came back to
win over Tufts and M. I. T., making a
.667 percentage and running up 24 points
to their opponents' 9. Captain Herb
Holden's scrappy team held a vaunted
Dartmouth ten to a tie score for four
periods and then succumbed to the Big
Green extra-peri(id drive, 7-5.

Just as the sun was setting over the
Taconic links Tuesday, April 28, Dick
Baxter's varsity golf team rose out of a
week-old slump to rout Amherst, 6^-2^.
Fred Barnqs' two-under-par 35 featured
a back nine rally in the second and third
foursomes that swept the Jeff s(|uad off
its feet.
Amherst held the edge all down the
line at the halfway ntark but the last four
Purple linksmen stayed within one shot
of the final nine's 37 par. Barnes and
Mai Moore, both clown at the turn and all
sc|uare on the best-ball match, came out
with three points. They rattled off three
straight birdies and two pars to close out
the low-ball point 5 and 4.
Captain Hussey Draws
Wils Barnes and Bill Courter turned on
the heat in the second foursome to take
all three matches by 5 and 4 margins.
Captain Stretch Hussey fought Dick
Hunter to a draw in the first match for
Williams' final half-point. Doc Traver,
Amherst's captain, downed Bob McKec
in the second individual match while the
Jeffs took the best-ball point.

Charley Caldwell Plays
Hunch; West Tees Off
mth Red-Hot Double
Wednesday evening the Williams base-
ball team played Sprague's .Specialties, a
team from North Adams, in a twilight
practice tilt.
In the third inning, pitcher Bill West
came to bat with two on. He struck out.
Williams needed two runs.
In the fifth inning pitcher Bill West
started to bat. Two men were again on
base. Coach Charlie Caldwell called him
back for a pinch hitter. "Aw, I felt just
like a good one," said piich.r West.
"Well, go ahead and bat," saitl his coach
suddenly playing a psychic hunch.
This time West didn't strike out. On
the first pitch, he laced a ringing double
deep into left center to put his team into
a lead it never relincjuished. Williams
won, 9-2.

southpaw, won his second game when a
seventh-inning outburst clinched the vic-
tor)'.
Gruber Doubles
Singles by Jack Glasgow and Nes Bangs,
Carl Gruber's double, and a long fly by
Emmet llerndon sent two runs across in
the winning rally. Glasgow took hitting
honors with three safeties.

a practice game with Stu King, Munro
Steel, and Charlie Wi<lmann pitching.
